The Dire

An enjoyable little indie game! I quite liked the environment and monsters, although there were some minor things that could be improved (Some of the dialogue had spelling errors, and the flashlight tends to bleach out pictures and papers when you're at a readable distance from them.) The multiple endings were fun to find! I found the MC's impressive bible collection in his room quite humorous.

I love it

level design is unintuitive

I gave it a fair shot… but the visuals just weren’t it for me. I get that it’s going for a specific aesthetic, but instead of immersive, it just made me dizzy. The flashlight is also way too intense, to the point where I couldn’t even see the action prompts at the start. After about five minutes, I tapped out.

Pains me to give this a game thumbs down but this just seems to have so much wasted potential. Barring the poor voiceover, this was actually pretty well put together horror. Yes there was a lot of cliche but it was actually really starting to build an atmosphere with a couple of earned jumpscares along the way. And then I got hit with the most signposted and frankly silly looking jumpscare and the game ends to credits. The ending screen implies there was a way to get another ending but either my game bugged out or there really is no way to reload. I fired the game up again and it was pretty clear it was the same game again with no changes and the game was starting into a particularly annoying monologue voiceover again and given there seems to be no way to exit to menu I had to alt-F4 out. There was no way I was going to sit through that and then replay all of that again when there really wasn't anything obvious that I could have done differently and likely would have got same ending again.

heavily styled yet cheap and predictable jumpscare "horror"

Enough spelling errors to fail out of a junior high English class. The flashlight makes anything you're trying to look at impossible to see. Game bugged out. Explored every room. Read every note. Nothing would happen. Had to end the game.

A short and effective horror game. Play if you got horror bone like me
