About

The Night Is Long is a short first-person Lovecraftian inspired horror game that explores grief, guilt, and the chilling unknown.
In the midst of emotional turmoil, a grieving man sets out on a nighttime drive, desperate to escape the pain of his past. But when his deceased wife suddenly appears in the middle of the road, he swerves into the unknown — and follows her into a long-abandoned mansion.
Inside, reality begins to unravel. The deeper he explores, the clearer it becomes: the night is long, and he is not alone.
Use your wits and determination to survive the horrors within and uncover the truth buried in the shadows of the mansion.

is good
Quite enjoyable. Find the notes, which tell a sad story. Familiar trope. Nice artwork and music. Another example of a free game that is much better than some purchased ones.

游戏的恐怖氛围很好,是一份标准的恐怖游戏模板,但是离游戏有趣还差很远。 奇怪的敲门声:这在初期起到很好的氛围营造,但是如果和游戏机制没有太多的关系的话,一直使用这个音效有点破坏玩家的心流 故事的展示:文字太多了,是想要考研嘛,可以尝试语音配音或者更简洁的表达,或者不要将其做为触发游戏推进的关键而是将其作为收藏品 手电筒:我觉得可以加入自动充电、蓄能之类的设计限制照明或者将其与怪物的机制或者你想要的效果关联起来,要不然做一个开关手电的功能好像有些多余 优点:游戏氛围营造完美!关卡地图设计相互串联这很有趣 现在游戏还有很多可以扩展空间,希望作者可以找到有趣的切入点,让这份标准的demo更加完美 PS:以上是一个玩家的主观想法,欢迎批评指正
The spooky vibes are perfect actually made me jump which i haven't done in a long time so great game. Also who keeps knocking like I cant let you in all the doors locked and that spider had me thinking there was a laser pointer so i kept trying to chase it.
The game has good scares for an unexperienced horror player but it was confusing and genuinely pissed me off I looked around the areas of the question marks for 20 MINUTES and still didn't find what they were trying to show and this was within the first 10 mins of loading up the game. genuinely the biggest waste of time for having so much potential if the dev would have just worked a little harder they would have made a decent game. and what is up with the fact that I can't expand the game its a little box on my pc straight BS its like the dev was just posted the game to call themselves a dev cause what is this UNFINISHED GARBAGE it pisses me off because this game could have actually been decent.
I originally added this game to my Steam Library because the are from the screenshots looked like a point and click game, so I was surprised it was a first person game! I am so very happy that I picked up this game to play for my channel! With that being said, I think the game is as long as it needs to be. A problem I have with horror is games will run too long or will be so frustrating that my fear turns to boredom or anger. This is the perfect length! My two favorite scares! 1. [spoiler]The mannequins all moving their heads over to look at me was so good! Honestly, most scares with mannequins are fantastic mood setters but the red eyes added a great touch! [/spoiler] 2. [spoiler]There was this red light that zoomed across the screen at some point and it startled me real good! Can't remember exactly where on the map it was located.[/spoiler] A little mild critique I have is I would have loved to see the [spoiler]demon on the other side of the glass and the other baddies[/spoiler] up close. Maybe not in your face as scares or anything, but closer and more threatening. All in all, this was a great experience and I give it a solid 4/5! Ran into no bugs and had a great time with it! I am very excited to see more games made by this dev team!
i loved this.the story was great jump scares was great really wanted it to keep going.
