Holy Molly this is a GREAT game!! I'm currently at the beginning of 'The Decent' chapter and so excited to finish but the first chapter of getting through the barn was unbelievable. That level was so creatively designed, so impressive. Atmosphere, audio and visuals (i'm running everything on max) is superb. I was so immersed that the first jump scare, for the first time in my life made me yell out loud! Which then scared my sleeping cat that was on my lap! Awsome job!!!
Not enough memory on camera for photos
Empfehlenswert: Ja (persönliche Wertung: 4/10) Errungenschaften: Ja Positiv: - Atmosphäre ist gruselig - Umgebungsgeräusche sind gut - Story ausreichend Negativ: - Zu viele Jumpscares - Viel laufen - Keine Gefahr durch Geister Fazit: The Descent ist eine Horror-Lauf-Simulation... Anders kann man es nicht beschreiben, da man in langsamer Geschwindigkeit von Punkt A nach B und wieder zurück läuft. Wir spielen einen Journalisten, der einer Story über verschwundenen Leuten in einer Mine hinterherforscht. Der Plot ist nichts weltbewegendes, aber reicht völlig aus. Das Spiel lebt von seiner Atmosphäre. Diese ist wirklich gruselig gelungen. Besonders zum Anfang des Spiels mit dem pfeifenden Wind und den knarrenden Dielen... Hat mir so ein bisschen auch etwas Gänsehaut beschert. Nicht so gut gelungen sind die Jumpscares! Zu beginn waren diese noch gut mit der Atmosphäre verbunden. Später kamen sie aber zu oft. Aller 2-3 Minuten ein neuer Jumpscare. Man gewöhnt sich schnell daran. Besonders lahm wird es, wenn man merkt das von diesen Geister / Erscheinungen keine Gefahr ausgeht. Ich habe nur einmal Schaden genommen und das war in einem unter Strom gesetzten Raum voller Wasser. Die Erscheinungen machen aber an sich keinen Schaden... Sie sind einfach nur da. Besonders nervig jedoch war das Laufen. Nicht nur das es sehr langsam war (auch beim rennen)... Man musste einge Ort öfter besuchen, um eine Tür zu öffnen oder einen Gang frei zu bekommen. Das ist im Grunde das einzige was man in dem Spiel macht... Herumlaufen und Geister anschauen. Ach ja... Die Grafik ist in Ordnung. Nur das Auto des Protagonisten war sehr unvollständig. Für wenig Geld kann man sich das gerne antun. So wirklich vom Hocker gehauen hat es mich nicht. Nicht Empfehlenswert!!!!
Man this game was sooo good! i wasnt expecting so many jump scares and just completely dark and haunting, i was getting bloody valentine and as above so below vibes forsure idk why ppl complaining about the game you aint no true horror fan if you cant even enjoy this which i did but idgaf ppl have there own preference so i would recommend 10/10 no bs!

Every good game, keeps you immersed the whole time. I wouldn't mind the game be lighted up just a bit, i did struggle with that but over all i would recommend it
Nice little horror game if you don`t expect too much, some jump scares are bad and sometimes too often but not all some are nice and different. Sound world very nice and clear with headphones. Graphics nice. The story seemed interesting but when it was fully revealed it was stupid in my opinion. Collectable things etc. very nice addition to game so some extra content than just walking forward. (I bought this discounted). Better than many other indie/short style horror games so nice surprise. Maybe 6/10.
