The Heilwald Loophole

Its a good game very simple but also challenging in some areas. the story is very open with lore so you can come to your own conclusions so if your thinking of getting this game get it and go down the loophole, once again.

its a amazing game that has one of the best sound desing i ever heard and even tho the game is a bout a crazy place i also feel that it's atmosphere can be both tense and comfortable especially the courtyard

颇为有趣的敌人和关卡设计，很独特的游戏

Absolutely stellar game, presentation visually and audibly is incredible, the non linear structure really clicked with me and I was a little torn about it being stripped back towards the end but I had a great time with this!

The game has a great story, and an interesting artstyle which i strangely like. This game led me into starting to speedrun games and it is a simple and fun game to actually speedrun.

Phenomenal sound design, I ♥♥♥♥ my pants at like 5 different sound effects already

It abandons its most interesting gameplay mechanic a bit too early, but this P.T.-adjacent game rewards your persistence with brutal atmosphere and increasingly-unhinged enemy designs.

A unique, delightful horror romp with some cool concepts that you can probably chew on for an evening or two. [h1]PROS[/h1] [List] [*] Good gameplay, a decent amount of puzzle-solving, but not too overly complicated. [*] Good story for what it was. I would have liked to see a few more in-depth looks on some of the concepts surrounding Heilwald, but maybe I'm just thinking of other deeper, more intricate lore-heavy games. And despite a main drive of this game being the lore, I suppose at the end of the day you already have [i]most[/i] if not all the pieces you need overall to at least understand the essentials and some of the dressings. [*] Great graphics! I could definitely feel the haunted PS1 influence throughout this game, plus the additional atmospheric vibes of Bioshock, Silent Hill, Lost in Vivo, and even Nightmare House 2. [*] Decent playtime! I 100% completed the game in roughly just over four hours, 90% without a guide. A fun little evening horror romp is always a good romp. [*] More of a personal note, but this game was fun to run through. And I even came away with atmospheric reminders of the aforementioned Bioshock, Silent Hill, Lost in Vivo and even Nightmare House 2. Almost like this game was a genuine horror take on what Nightmare House 2 [i]hypothetically could have been outside[/i] of the final product. (Which for reference was still good in my opinion, but back to relevance.) [*] Sauer gave me a good laugh in the sea of crazy, don't @ me. [/list] [h1]CONS[/h1] [list] [*] No option to skip dialogue in case you've already run through, which [i]could[/i] be repetitive at times, especially in places like the bathhouse. [*] I was a little confused on a couple concepts even by the end of the game, but I suppose it's more of a personal thing considering you can take away what you want from the nitty-gritty anyways. And at the end of the day, this game still gives you a coherent, competent game and story. And regardless you are given the essential to figure the story out yourself regardless. [/list] [h1]CONCLUSION[/h1] A unique horror romp that I found quite enjoyable for an evening, and I think you will too! I personally found it enjoyable for an evening, and in turn, I think you will too! Because I found it enjoyable for an evening, so therefore...
