Suddenly the doorbell sounded. Opening the door, you see that someone left you a gift box...
What's inside this mysterious box?!

Didn't think I would be as scared as I was playing this game.
very good game, but also very depressing at the same time!
7/10 Overall the story was very good, but many times I found myself retracing the same steps trying to figure out what was going to happen next. It had some moments I was not expecting and the ending, although not a big surprise, was good.

Cara ,o jogo é muito bom , a ambiencia , principalmente a historia , me deixou preso a ela por muito tempo , os enigmas são divertidos e não tão dificieis , os sustos são legais mas perde a graça pois so são uns sons altos com um bixo vindo na sua cara , unico ponto negativo na minha opn . O jogo é bem longo umas 1 20 de gameplay , e curti bastante , valeu o money
Ist so ähnlich wie Christmas Nightmare vom selben Entwickler. Story ist ein bisschen generisch.
Cannot move or control character in any way. I load in and then just have to spin around and alt+f4 to exit the game. I have enjoyed the previous games from this dev but this one does not even function.

Скучно. Уныло. Нестрашно. Самые предсказуемые скрипты. Сюжет заезжен до дыр. Да, жалко даже 100 рублей.
Scary Scuffed Games #435 https://twitch.tv/DitoMido Bisherige Reviews Archiv: https://rsg.ditomido.de/archive Vorgeschlagen von: Timmyyy42 The Dark Gift ist quasi genau wie Reflections von JustTomcuk. Quasi der gleiche Plot und leider auch die selben Probleme. Häufig weiß man einfach nicht was man als nächstes machen soll, obwohl mittlerweile sogar ein Hintsystem eingebaut wurde. Also man merkt zwar das Tomcuk aus vergangenen Spielen versucht zu lernen, aber gerade was das Gamedesign angeht noch deutlich Luft nach oben ist und öftmals Fehler wiederholt. So sind z.B. wichtige Gegenstände nicht klar erkennbar oder schnell überbelichtet und verschwinden im weißen brei, Soundqueues nicht wirklich förderlich platzeirt, so dass man häufig umherirrt nur um vom nächsten billigen Jumpscare angeschrien zu werden. Das Ganze Spiel war für uns von Anfang an offensichtlich und kein Jumpscare war wirklich gut. Schade, aber ich hoffe, dass Tomcuk sich traut auch mal neues innovatives zu wagen und nicht nur die selben Formeln in anderem Aussehen immer und immer wieder kocht und auftischt. Wer andere Spiele von Tomcuk nicht kennt, wird eher mäßig unterhalten sein, aber zur Weihnachtsthematik kann man froh sein, überhaupt indie horrorgames zu finden, daher nur eine bedingte Empfehlung. Wirklich empfehlen kann ich es nicht, aber mit etwas Geduld kommt man zumindest durch. Rating: Dito: 2.5/5 Chat: 1.8/5 Gesamt: 2.15/5
