The Crimping

Listen, this game was made by one person in one month and she never made a horror game before. So you need to cut her some slack! I played this on stream before it came out and my community and I definitely had a lot of fun over the campy humor in this. There where no game breaking glitches and I god spooked multiple times. As someone who plays MANY indie horror games, I appreciate not recognizing any of the props and at some parts the graphics had kind of a shell shading effect which I loved! This is a game for when you feel like playing something horror but also super silly and fun.

Not sure what to think here, animations are weird, humor is just ermmm childish, and skeletons kill with 1 hit.. also stuck at 60 fps for what? The graphics are not that great to be fair the price is low but idk to me it is weird and not worth it

I including many others were able to beta test this game, and I have to say I loved working with Mama Makes Games. She is an absolute sweetheart, and she worked really hard on this horror game. It was interesting looking up online about the Shanghai Tunnels, and I recommend anyone that is interested about the past of the tunnels to definitely read about them. This horror story was fun to play, there was also some funny moments in it between the characters interacting with themselves. You learn about an interesting story here, and I believe it has the potential to go further beyond! I don't want to spoil too much but the bunny is precious, treat the bunny well.

The game has a couple of jumpscares, really not a lot if any puzzles, interesting characters, good atmosphere, kinda cheap sounds and character voices (at least there are some characters in this game lol), good performance. It also looks a bit unfinished (a lot of doors don't even open), but all in all a good horror experience for this price.

Alright so honest review time. - Graphics, great. It's nice to see a different aesthetic, and it seems it's all original artwork. At least I haven't seen these characters or surroundings in any other indie games that I've played so far. It kind of gave me walking dead vibes for the characters with the black outline. The hotel looked great as well. - Sounds and such, were all pretty good. Apart from the AI voice acting (and maybe the sounds the rabbit made), it was terrible. I know the reasoning behind it, I saw the tweet, but it would have been nice to have a toggle voices on or off. I think I would have had a much nicer experience just reading the lines out loud myself. - Jumpscares were pretty decent. They got me good a few times at least. - Story wise, I'm a little conflicted. I can see the direction where it was going, but the ending felt super hastened. The beginning and ending make sense and feel like one story (although not entirely either), but the in between was a bit "eh ok, makes perfect sense I guess". SPOILER DO NOT READ [spoiler] Especially the friend who just left with the pizza guy, I don't know why that was put in there. I think having done much more with the ghost story. More time/ puzzles in the hotel before the final room would open up already. More lore about the ghost haunting the hotel. The tunnels below the hotel I think it would have been awesome if it was more than just follow a ghost and eventually it pops up like that. I know it was directing us to an item, but the entire tunnel system felt a bit of a bummer [/spoiler]. It was a bit too short in my opinion and could have done more expanded storywise. - Puzzle wise I didn't really feel there were many puzzles in this game. All in all I would still recommend it and just compare it to a super short story that doesn't have too much depth in it. Feedback for the dev pure options wise: - Mouse sensitivity - Toggle voices on/ off I will definitively keep an eye out on the dev and future projects. :)

The game had a lot of fun and good parts, but the level design in the caves and mountain area was absolutely miserable. Just lost the entire time. Everything looked the same, the path wasn't clear, etc. Would have been REALLY fun if those sections didn't take away from the experience.

I just played through this game! The graphics were beautiful and I loved the sounds, especially the rain. The voices are definitely weird because they are AI voices. But it was super nice not having to read anything. While there were some jump scares, I actually found some of the walking around the most spooky. It is cool that this is a story based on a real hotel. It would be fun to figure out what hotel it is based on. I wish it was a little longer of a game and I hope the developer expands on this game at some point. Great bit of fun for the low price point!

not bad but a little short https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gu9YDYcDwfY

Nice charming little horror game, good for the price!
