The Painscreek Killings

Gerne mehr von diesen kniffligen Rätseln. Ich für meinen Teil, wollte unbedingt immer wissen wie es weitergeht. Und man sollte oft Fotos machen von wichtigen Informationen. Ist eine bisschen ältere Grafik, ruckelte teils ein wenig, aber nicht ganz so schlimm. Bewundernswert ist, welche Mühe sich die Devs gemacht haben, die Story bis zum Schluss spannend zu halten. Natürlich gab's auch Rätsel, wo ich mal Hilfe aus dem Net brauchte. Alles in allem aber eine tolle Krimi Story mit ausgefeilten Charakteren. Für jeden Hobby-Detektiv zu empfehlen.

Отличнейшая игра, которая ненароком (я думаю) стала хоррором. Атмосфера заслуживает отдельных похвал, игра буквально за минут пять-десять заставляется тебя проникаться историей. Сюжет нетривиальный, запутанный и глубокий, только под конец тебе полностью будет ясна картина происходящего. И даже зная разгадку, чувствуешь сильное напряжение и ожидание чего-то. Клянусь я действительно перепроверяла нет ли метки хоррор и успокаивалась не увидев ее. Но проходя дальше постоянно возникали сомнения, что разработчик просто забыл ее добавить. Словами передать сложно насколько игра хороша, я бы играла в нее хоть 20-30 часов. Спасибо за шедевр!

An amazing game the likes of which I haven't seen before. The detective, crime-solving game with open world and zero hand-holding is a very nice touch and provides (somewhat) authentic experience of solving a murder mystery that occurred years ago. I absolutely love and adore the concept. Admittedly, I didn't have patience for meticulously and honestly going through every place and evidence over and over again, when stuck. There's no worse frustration when you spend days on searching every nook and cranny to see where I missed a key or forgot a clue I had, only to realize I hadn't flipped the photo/item over to see a clue written right on it in the very last room - thus, I had to refer to some guides. Another point is a slow creeping fear and anxiety. I'm very susceptible to horror and jump scares, I'm easily scared, I know that. So, just the lighting and the sound design was enough sometimes to drive me up the wall in anxiety. I had to remind myself over and over again, "it's just an investigative game, there's not going to be slasher or chasing or running away" [spoiler](had to eat my words on that one, I did, yeah)[/spoiler]. And that's not even touching upon the story itself. I had my tears and emotions wrung over in the latter half of the game, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. 10/10 experience, 100% recommend.

I refunded. Game is just too boring......................................................................... Its the type of game that expects you to actually treat stuff like a full time job. FInd a key: where does this key lead? Who knowwsss??? Then there's also the other part, which is the lack of stakes. You are literally. just a newspaper woman. like bro. not even a detective. you are just a busybody, doing ♥♥♥♥ for work......??????????????? If I was an actual detective maybe I would get drive enough to work through the slog of the early game. Not for me and not for you if you expect a product compatible with a game. This is like if you were given the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ killers of shadows of doubt to deal with but you have to play while the game actually sabotages you by putting unrelated information next to your clues just to make you waste time on purpose.

Really really good. Mild Spoiler: [spoiler]There are two "jumpscares" which I was NOT appreciative of, given my understanding was this was a quiet detective puzzle game, but in hindsight it really helped with the uneasy feeling like everything you do is being watched. [/spoiler] Super intuitive without really any dead ends Iran into. Every secret code you find can be cracked, and every key you find has a corresponding lock. Information is easy to cross reference, as long as you can keep names and dates straight. Atmosphere, music, and visuals were really nice overall. So much detail went into this game, I definitely recommend!!!

Muito bom, 9/10

There are still a lot of questions. Who killed [spoiler]Scott[/spoiler]? With proofs I mean. Where the package? What's in Inn's [spoiler]tool chest[/spoiler]? Who is [spoiler]Derrek[/spoiler]'s father? Etc. But these questions are actually the sigh of how much had to be written in a story in order to make it alive. Oh, the story which grows and sprouts for 25 years straight is not easy to write. The authors did it. Well done. Excellent. THe story is sad, but is very nicely done. And definitely there are much to think about. I actually agree with what's said in a closing letter - the story could turn completely different... but alas. Thank you very much.

捜査とは言っても内容は脱出ゲームそのもの。 あっと驚くトリックやどんでん返しもなく、徐々に「あぁ…」となる程度のミステリー要素です。 でも、そんなことどうでも良くなるくらいひたすら曲とロケーションが素敵です。 雰囲気抜群、脱出ゲームに物語や目的がつくとこうも化けるのかと感心したゲームです。

Great game, super complex yet solvable. Just the right amount of no linear story, having to remember details for later/get creative with hints and still being able to piece things together :)

Melhor jogo de investigação que eu já joguei em minha vida. A história é super envolvente, e desde o início você desconfia de todos os personagens envolvidos, não há como adivinhar o desfecho logo de cara. É um misto de felicidade, tristeza, medo e angustia. Queria encontrar mais jogos assim, envolvente, mas está difícil. Nota 10/10
