Playable trailer? What does it even mean? A trailer is meant to be watched not played. We are off to a very bad start here. As a detective we need to leave the evidence room but not before we pick up a couple of items. At the door we are told we have a job to do but not what or how many objects we need. So you go back and look for your pistol, a flashlight and some evidence on the shelf. As you leave your office eventually you end up in a forest. We look around, we see some tents and we see a person running away. We need to follow said person. In the end, as we come up to a clearing we find a camera. Suddenly, night falls and we have to turn on the night vision to be able to see. Turning around allows us to see a guy approaching with a weapon (I'm not sure how he can see us if everything is pitch black). If he comes too close we die so we have to run away. I ran aimlessly for several minutes then bumped into the same killer or perhaps into another one. Eventually, I decided to uninstall this "playable trailer". Which has no menu, no settings, nothing. You can't even hit ESC for a pause. In fact, the mouse sensitivity is so high that it alone makes the game unplayable. No store page showing when the full product will hit the Steam shelves. There are way more and much better walking sim-like horror games out there with VHS aesthetic.

Во время похода по лесу - была жестоко убита компания молодых людей. На месте преступления были найдены странные знаки. Вы - детектив, что должен исследовать место преступления и найти улики, что могла пропустить команда следователей.

Этот фильм рассказывает историю о группе молодых людей, которые исчезли. Тизер в игровой форме знакомит зрителей с завязкой сюжета, а также содержит рекламу официального сайта фильма для получения дополнительной информации. Графика игры выполнена в стиле ретро-пиксель-арт, что придает ей особую атмосферу таинственности и загадочности. Звуковое сопровождение прекрасно дополняет общее впечатление, эффектно подчеркивая ужасы, подстерегающие игрока на каждом шагу. Сюжет тизера игры “[b]The Children of the Woods - Lost Tape[/b]” рассказывает о пропаже группы молодых людей во время их похода в лес. Этот лес известен своими страшными историями и легендами. Игрок должен исследовать лес и место происшествия в поисках улик. Другие следователи могли упустить какие-то важные детали. Найденные улики могут помочь раскрыть мрачные тайны пропажи подростков. “[b]The Children of the Woods - Lost Tape[/b]” является оригинальным способом продвижения фильма, особенно учитывая, что предыдущие акции [b]#KNOWTHETRUTH[/b] в социальных сетях [b]TikTok[/b] и [b]Instagram[/b] не были успешными. Однако этот же подход может оказаться неудачным для игрового проекта, так как игра содержит мало геймплея и большое количество различных багов, которые могут испортить впечатления от игры.
I hate to dunk on this as there is some potential, it's made with love, and the other title this dev has looks pretty sweet and has scored well, but I think it's a bit too rough. Other reviews of this teaser have mentioned the lack of options (even for a free teaser) as well as the kind of ridiculous mouse sensitivity you can't adjust, the nice visuals and atmosphere - which then kinda disintegrates as soon as "the chase" starts, etc. For me though it's the movement. I mean granted I haven't played a TON of games like this but it seems really weird to have the character move with such weight and inertia - it feels like you're a bathtub on ice.leading to moments (short ones but jeez in a game like this you kinda want things to feel snappy) where I'm still moving in one direction while very clearly inputting another. That can be addressed in an update I would think though, so I'm still optimistic. I think the other thing bugging me is that the bad guys sort of walk towards you and don't really move or look or act creepy. The night vision is really just code for extremely foggy and I kinda gave up after a minute or two of running around avoiding them. When you get caught there's no real feedback or even sound it just kinda respawns you to the start of the chase. No death scream even or animation? It's kinda weird. Just my two cents.
Not much to this one. There's no settings, no inventory, no atmosphere and no fun. The mouse sensitivity is way too high. I picked up a gun and flashlight but didn't use them. There's no prompts for any interactivity so you have to find the right spot. Nothing really happens. Overall not scary and there's nothing really enticing me to get the full game.
What a creepy and scary horror game! I am waiting for the full game of The Children of The Woods Postscript: [spoiler] The chase sequence in the forest was really very scary. Not just one member of the murderous sect came to the main character, but THREE PEOPLE appeared behind the trees in different areas of the road leading to the main character's car. Fortunately, I was able to complete it in one try! [/spoiler]
This game is broken and unplayable. The mouse is too loose and theres nowhere to fix it. I barley move my mouse and my character is going in circles. UPDATE : It was just my gaming laptop that did this. My PC played this game smoothly. I don't know why I had that issue with my laptop. I'd turn move my mouse and id basically spin instead of turning to the side to see. But ny gaming PC has 0 issues.
Semi found footage interesante, con un trasfondo que te dan ganas de descubrir el juego completo. Buen detalle de incluir una videocámara para ver lo que grabaron los desaparecidos.
"The Children of The Woods - Lost Tape", yakında çıkacak olan "The Children of The Woods" adlı buluntu görüntü serisinden neler beklenebileceğine dair oynanabilir bir teaser görevi görüyor. Bu ilk bölüm sayesinde izleyiciler, ortadan kaybolmalar ve kayıp 5 kişinin ardından yaşanan olayları yeni bir bakış açısıyla keşfedebilecek. Gelecek bölümlerde öne çıkan görüntülerin kökenlerine dair içgörüler sunarak, hikayeyi ve tarihi daha derinlemesine inceleyen sürükleyici bir deneyim sunuyor. Gerçeğin ormanın içinde olduğunu hatırlamak çok önemlidir.
This is a waste of time walking sim teaser trailer for a website. Rating: 0/10
oh man... no... just no... i'm so disappointed.
