An engaging maze game with charmingly unique art and a single map offering great replay value. Can't wait for the future updates!
Ч\Б Пакман в псевдо 3D со спрайтами и унылым геймплеем. Очень скучно.
Finally, DD chapter 5 Jokes aside, the game turned out to be pretty cool, although during the passage noticed some bugs, but not critical. For an evening to play will do, I'll wait for the next chapters, because I'm really interested in this game =)
To start off, this game has fantastic art, great visuals and just an overall great atmosphere. In that category, it's very well made and I like it. However, the main component of the game is of course the gameplay, and the gameplay is very much not the quality I was hoping for. Simply put, it's a 1st person pac-man clone, except it is done extremely poorly. I think that the idea itself could merit some decent gameplay, however the problem is, you're spending the entire time looking at your minimap and not the actual game since there's no reason to look at the actual game, as the minimap has all the information you need. Along with that, there is no way to tell where the enemies are, unlike in regular pac-man, as they don't appear on the minimap, so by the time they show up, it's already too late, and you can't get away. This is especially apparent in expert mode which is pretty much impossible. Yes, there is the powerup that lets you see them on the map, but it shouldn't be a powerup, it should just be in the base game. Additionally, there's 1 bugged achievement and 5 impossible achievements due to the game not having the following 2 chapters. The achievements should've been added as the chapters gets introduced, not all at once. I think the game can actually become decent, especially with the art already being magnificient, but in it's current state, I don't recommend it.
I recommend it has a lot of replay ability for it only being the first chapter.
Birinci şahıs korku labirent oyunu. Saklanmak ve hareketsiz durmak Ölümdür. Kaçın yoksa ÖLÜRSÜNÜZ. Kabus gibi labirentlerle dolu bir diyarda mahsur kaldınız ve hayatta kalmak için tek umudunuz gizemli kitabın tüm sayfalarını bulmak ve KAÇIŞ üzerine kurulu!
A great game that is incredibly replayable considering that there's only a single map, but even in regular mode The Paper Trials will constantly test your ability to move fast, react faster and outmaneuver the enemies. It will leave no room for mistakes.
Моя страница куратора "Достойные или нет херроры" - https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43715729/ По сути это Пакман в черно белой графике и вместо точек вы собираете страницы. Противники не пугают, но сам процесс собирания довольно неплох, да и музыка ритмичная. Бесплатная игра на 15 минут и всё
