Une ambiance horrifique sans être remplie de screamers, vous êtes bien sur The Dire ! J'ai adoré mon expérience à travers l'histoire de Dean et l'histoire de la maison abandonnée qu'il visite ! Je ne vais pas tout vous révéler, ça serait dommage de divulgacher... Je recommande !
There's something about this horror game that gets the blood pumping. Ig it's the unexpected moments that really give it a jolt. There is no doubt in my mind that this is one of the best horror games I have played in a long time.
I felt like I was in a house inside the Backrooms. Definitely worth the price of admission. Layout was nice. Ambiance was good. FYI. The interact function is a bit of a head scratcher. Achievements would've been a nice addition since there's multiple endings. I'll run through this again. 10/10
Great environments and sound design, but... Where's a menu and basic BASIC settings? Sometimes I can BARELY see icons that alert me there's something to interact with. The game needs the most fundamental settings, such as brightness, mouse speed, and as others have noted, the option to turn OFF head bob. Why does the E show up to interact and then not actually do anything? It's a habit of mine to close doors as sort of markers so I know when I've explored rooms. Can't do that here. Again, simple basic stuff is important. Pressing and holding the center mouse button to rotate? Clunky. No form of inventory or pause function? Needs those, too. And no auto-save or manual save? Both are must-haves, I can't always play through a game in a single sitting.
6/10
[h1]Un urbex dans une maison hantée avec des bails satanistes... Qu'est-ce qui pourrait mal se passer ? 👀[/h1] The Dire est une de ces petites expériences d’horreur qui ne payent pas de mine au début, mais qui savent poser une vraie ambiance. C’est court, mais efficace : tu explores, tu flippes un peu, tu tends l’oreille, et avant même de t’en rendre compte, t’es dedans. L’ambiance est bien pesante, jamais dans la surenchère, et c’est ce qui rend le tout crédible. Les quelques idées de gameplay (dont certaines qu’on aimerait bien voir plus développées) ajoutent une vraie tension sans casser le rythme. C’est une expérience d’horreur bien menée, qui fait ce qu’elle promet sans te spam de screamers à tout bout de champ. [b]+ Points positifs :[/b] [list] [*] Ambiance lourde et maîtrisée [*] De bonnes idées de gameplay [*] Expérience courte mais prenante [*] Tension plutôt bien gérée du début à la fin [/list] [b]- Points négatifs :[/b] [list] [*] Quelques mécaniques qu’on aimerait voir plus creusées [/list] J’l’ai fait en live, et y’a eu quelques beaux sursauts mine de rien ! Si t’aimes les p'tites expériences horrifiques bien fichues, tu devrais bien aimer celle-ci.

this was a good game
Une ambiance pesante et crescendo, une histoire dramatique, screamers utilisés avec parcimonie, bref, tout ce que j'apprécie dans un jeu d'horreur. Je recommande sans hésiter [url=https://www.twitch.tv/layra_alixis]Layra_Alixis[/url] - [url=https://indiestogether.carrd.co]Indies Together[/url]
