The Park®

if you love the jankiness of the original secret world legends like I did, this is fun, if not, give it a miss

Interesting concept, but boring story, and was scary only at the last 20 inutes of the game...

The park, um joguinho bem curto de terror (e um simulador de andar). Ambientado num parque de diversão abandonado em busca de seu filho, tem uma historia bem fácil de tender, com conquistas que podem ser conquistada na primeira gameplay, recomendo compra numa promoção quando tiver.

More of an interactive movie than a game; you do have freedom to walk around and examine the environment around you, but you're herded inevitably where The Park wants you to go,..which in a way just enhances the tension you experience. There were a couple of really good jump-scares that startled the crap out of me. And of course by the end, despite the clues and the environment and the discordant noise that had cranked the dread up to 11, I was in complete thrall to the story and had to see where it led. I don't have a VR headset but I almost wish I did, this game would have been a perfect fit for one. The one downside is that, like any horror movie, this game wouldn't be nearly as terrifying the second time through. But I enjoyed every minute of it.

The Park je hra asi na 2 hodiny. Za mě je to typ hry, kterou si zahraju jednou a pak už se k ní dlouho nevrátím. Příběh je pěkný, i když mi přišel místy trochu chaotický, ale pořád dobrý. Byly tam chvíle, které jsem si opravdu užila, ale ke konci už mi to přišlo trochu natahované. Chápu, že to asi bylo kvůli délce hry. Nedala bych tomu 10/10, spíš tak 7/10. Hra mě bavila, ale vím, že si ji znovu nezahraju :D

The Park ist ein kurzer Horror-Walking Simulator durch einen heruntergekommenen Freizeitpark, in dem man seinen kleinen Sohn sucht. Man läuft von einer Attraktion zur nächsten und bekommt zunehmend deprimierende Informationen über die Hauptfigur, den Sohn und die Familie an sich. Insgesamt ein recht kurzes Spiel von 2-3 Stunden. Die Story war an sich voll in Ordnung, aber recht kurz. Hätte mir nur etwas mehr Interaktion mit der Welt an sich gewünscht, statt nur rumzulaufen, nach dem Sohn zu schreien und Objekte anzuschauen. "Leider" bin ich nicht allzu schreckhaft, weshalb mich die Jumpscares nicht besonders erwischt haben. Manche waren zu voraussehbar. Dennoch okay. Es muss nicht immer scheppern. :) Das Weltdesign hat zur Story gepasst, der Sound war ebenfalls solide. Auch die Steuerung war voll okay (Maus und Tastatur). Bugs und Crashes hatte ich keine. 13€ finde ich etwas hart, würde ich nicht empfehlen. Holt es euch lieber im Sale ;)

When I first got this game in about 2018, I left it to rot in my backlog, mainly for the fact I did not want to play it. Then early last year, I saw CheeseYean's review on [i] "The Park" [/i] and I remembered I own the "worst horror game", as it is that according to his review (at the time). I decided yesterday to load it up, and just complete it and never play it again... But then I began to read more of the files, see more of the words actually being said, and experience the game myself, and, let me tell you all this. EVEN if you see a review, try something YOURSELF. This game, though its not some Silent Hill 2 level of game, is in fact, a pretty dang deep game... [b] BUT ONLY [/b] if you are willing to actually invest and see this game through, and pay attention, looking at every file/interactable item, and read into it. I, for one, will [i] not [/i] defend Lorainne, she is hands down one of the worst mothers in games I have played. She is not fit to be a good mother, and shows it in most of her dialogue. She does have some moments where she is seemingly trying, but "Seemingly trying" is not enough to be a good mother. She is a bad mother who, spoilers ahead: [spoiler] KILLS HER OWN SON!!! [/spoiler] HOWEVER... I think I can somewhat speak on a bit of defense to it, based on what I saw in the final act. What she did is ABSOLUTELY unforgivable, but, I can somewhat see what caused her to do so (which I will make my own video hopefully covering my theory, or add to this review at the end when I have time). HOWEVER.... I recommend you play this game, and enjoy it. Dive into it, and solve it for yourself. Either the music, the dark side of life, looking through the eyes of a mother who lost her kid, and is going through the journey of loss, pain, distrust, hate, and grief, all in one humble game. It takes less than 80 minutes to go through and explore/find EVERY collectable/achievement. I recommend this game, and please, do look deeper, because somethings, are more than the dark stories we have in our minds.
