[b] The Sushi House - хоррор, от которого сначала испытываешь приятные эмоции, но ближе к концу игра становится утомительной и сильно надоедает. Много раз возникало желание дропнуть игру, несмотря на её плюсы и неплохой сюжет. [/b] [b] Сюжет, который неплох, но игру это мало спасает. [/b] Главный герой устраивается работать в суши ресторан, который находится в его же доме на цокольном этаже. Очень удобно добираться, а главное - приятные коллеги, как можно подумать по началу. Мы знакомимся с приятной Юки, которая обучит нас делу. После смены она захочет поговорить с нами в ресторанчике с лапшой неподалеку. Там главный герой и Юки обсуждают прошедший день и новости. Она упоминает про вирус, который связан с человеческим мясом, тем самым рассказывая секрет ресторана, в который мы устроились. [b] Сначала геймплей может показаться уникальным(в этом есть доля правды), но позже это будет действовать на нервы. [/b] Я опущу тему того, что при готовке вам дают дофига заказов. Сам процесс приготовления не очень сложный, но частенько требует беготни до книги с рецептами. Наверно это единственное, что интересно вместе с сюжетом. Мне бы очень хотелось, чтобы здесь тема про геймплей закончилась, но дальше идет то, что испортило мое впечатление от игры. [b] Через пару смен появляется новая механика - стелс и аля survival хоррор. [/b] Впервые это появляется во "сне" главного героя. Там понадобится включить дорожки, пока за вами быстро идет 2-3 красноглазых красавца. Очень буду рада, если кто-то пройдет с первых трех попыток, но у меня ушло гораздно больше... Через смену игра превращается просто в какой-то бред. Нам нужно ходить бродить, искать коды, включать генераторы, прятаться... Это самая утомительная часть игры. [b] Никакого ощущение хоррора. [/b] Просто утомительная игра, а про атмосферу даже нечего говорить... [b] Заключение. [/b] Мне бы очень хотелось поставить рекоменд, тк игра поначалу и вправду интересная и сюжет неплохой, но то, что постепенно игра превратилась в скучный и нудный стелс без какого-либо интереса очень повлияло на мою окончательную оценку. Возможно игра просто не для меня. Не рекомендую к прохождению! ❤
가볍게 스시타이쿤 하는 게임인줄 알았더니만 생각보다 굉장히 잘 짜여져있는 공겜이였슨..! 엔딩이 하나하나 보는 재미도있고, 재밌었어요. 분기점도 알잘딱이에요. 이가격에 이퀄리티?? 미친거임!
Saw a youtuber playing, paused the video and bought it myself. Explanations are lacking/missing and/or orders do not align with recipes. Just frustrating and then you get thrown in a badly made "horror" situation.
A cool concept that devolves into an annoying stealth horror game. The story is unique, but the gameplay is obnoxious once you get to the horror part. I ended up hating this game, so I personally wouldn't recommend
more of a "try at your own risk" rating. Loving the sushi serving part of the game. the horror part is pretty generic though, not really all that related to "sushi" or japanese culture. The apartment is really nice though, I want an apartment like that to take hot showers in. Overall i'd say 6.3 out of 10. Kind of meh. took about 2 and half hours to see all three endings. I like how the game gives you choice to quickly jump in at the branching choice location.
Great game that I honestly enjoyed playing. One thing that surprised me was was when I was getting chased the one guy actually ducked to avoid my flashlight which threw me off since I haven't seen an indie game do that before. Pacing was good along with characters and I did like the design along with the graphics of the game. I also liked that the game gave you a good checkpoint to easily see the other endings. The only complaint I can think of though was that the orders easily overwhelm you though. https://youtu.be/zXKBD-Lg2xc
Living in your lavish apartment on the 100th floor with your open floor plan allowing everyone to watch you take your morning dump and you're worried about making money so you start serving sushi? The amount of instructions the coworker was throwing at us was ridiculous, the conveyor power issues felt unnecessary, you should be able to clean after you've opened if you forgot a spill, I would prefer to be able to complete a set amount of orders for the night instead of it just ending, I should have been able to start serving human parts at some point, Its a good game just long winded in some areas, also, the stealth area felt like like overkill for what needed to be done, you should still buy this one
寿司づくりがちゃんとしてて楽しい👏
GAME WAS BORING AS ♥♥♥ AND ONCE IT GOT TO HORROR PART THEN IT BECAME SOMEHOW DUMBER. THE PEOPLE WHO LEFT POSITIVE REVIEWS ARE LIARS, SIMPLE MINDED, AND SHOULD LOSE THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE.
The Sushi House, developed and published by Noirbit, is a short-form psychological horror experience that builds its identity around subtlety, routine, and a steadily growing sense of unease. Rather than relying on conventional horror techniques like constant jump scares or overt threats, it draws tension from familiarity—placing players in a grounded, everyday setting and slowly distorting it until something feels deeply wrong. The result is a focused and atmospheric experience that lingers more through mood than spectacle. The premise is deliberately simple. You step into the role of a new employee working at a small sushi restaurant, tasked with performing ordinary duties such as preparing food, cleaning, and maintaining the workspace. At first, the game leans heavily into these routine actions, establishing a rhythm that feels almost meditative. This sense of normalcy is crucial, as it creates a baseline that makes even the smallest deviations feel significant. As the shifts progress, subtle irregularities begin to appear—changes in lighting, unusual sounds, and small environmental details that hint at something unsettling beneath the surface. Gameplay is built around these routine tasks, functioning as a light simulation that reinforces immersion. The mechanics are intentionally simple, focusing on interaction rather than complexity. Preparing dishes and managing the environment becomes second nature, allowing players to settle into the role before the game begins to disrupt that comfort. As the experience unfolds, narrative elements are introduced through environmental cues and occasional dialogue, encouraging players to piece together what is happening rather than presenting a clear, linear explanation. What makes The Sushi House stand out is its pacing. It takes its time, allowing tension to build gradually instead of forcing moments of fear. The repetition of daily tasks becomes a tool for storytelling, with each cycle introducing subtle changes that shift the tone. This slow escalation creates a psychological form of horror, where anticipation becomes more powerful than direct confrontation. Players are left constantly questioning what might happen next, even when nothing immediately does. The narrative itself is understated and open to interpretation. Rather than delivering a fully explained story, the game presents fragments—visual hints, environmental storytelling, and implied events—that invite players to draw their own conclusions. This ambiguity adds to the overall atmosphere, giving the experience a lingering quality that extends beyond its relatively short runtime. However, this approach may also leave some players wanting more clarity or a deeper exploration of its themes. Visually, the game adopts a grounded and realistic style that enhances its immersion. The restaurant environment is detailed enough to feel believable, making the gradual shift into something more unsettling all the more effective. Small changes in lighting and object placement are used to great effect, ensuring that players remain attentive to their surroundings. The first-person perspective further strengthens this connection, placing players directly within the space and making each interaction feel immediate. Audio design plays a critical role in shaping the experience. Ambient sounds, subtle cues, and moments of silence are used to build tension without overwhelming the player. Rather than relying on dramatic musical cues, the game allows its soundscape to evolve naturally, reinforcing the sense that something is off even when it cannot be immediately identified. This restraint contributes significantly to the game’s overall impact. Despite its strengths, the game’s limited scope is noticeable. Its short length means that it does not fully explore all of its ideas, and the simplicity of its mechanics may leave some players wanting more depth or variation. Once the experience concludes, there is little incentive to return beyond revisiting the atmosphere. However, this brevity also works in its favor, ensuring that the game remains focused and avoids unnecessary padding. Ultimately, The Sushi House succeeds as a concise and atmospheric horror experience that prioritizes mood and subtle storytelling over complexity. It transforms an ordinary setting into something quietly unsettling, using pacing and environmental detail to create a lasting impression. While it may not offer extensive gameplay or a fully developed narrative, it delivers a memorable journey that stands out through its restraint and attention to atmosphere. Rating: 7/10
