About

12 March 1938. Renée, 16 years old, is ripped out of her world, locked up and deprived of everything.
Her only fault was that she didn't know what her place in the world was.
"A danger to herself and others and a cause of public scandal" wrote the police headquarters.
The only horror you will find in this game is the truth: a blow to the solar plexus, much more intense than any supernatural presence

Отличный представитель сюжетных симуляторов ходьбы. Картинка приятная, а музыка, порой, напоминает любимую "Penumbra". Геймплей подразумевает взаимодействие с предметами + есть развилки в диалогах, меняющие, вероятно, диагноз персонажа, что добавляет эмпатии игрока к героине. Это похвально, что нужно не только ходить. История очень взрослая, мрачная и жизненная, равнодушным не оставляет. 10 "Рене" из 10. Проходится за 3 часа, наскучить не успевает.
廃墟となった精神科病院を舞台としたサイコホラーゲーム 雰囲気や病院の作り込みは良かったです ただ ストーリーは重いので好き嫌い分かれるとは思います このゲームについて に書かれているように ゾンビや超常現象はありません 幽霊よりも 生きている人間が一番怖い ってやつですね そういうホラゲが好きな方に特におすすめします なお リリースから月日が経っているので頻繫にセールしています 興味がある方は セール時に購入することをおすすめします
I made it to the final chapter and just couldn't stand the slow walking anymore.
Very impactful and well done.
一个绝望且窒息的故事,在上世纪30到40年代人们普遍对精神疾病的认识不全面,从而发明并纵容了这种非人道主义的技术,故事中蕾妮的经历到底是多少受害者的缩影,才23岁,本来在花一般的年纪却在经历了非人的待遇后就连死以及感受痛苦的权利都没有了,令人痛心,然后再说说这款游戏的游玩体验,作为一款恐怖游戏基本没有跳脸和追逐战,但游戏的氛围做得异常压抑,即使没有怪物你也依然会感到不安和紧张,就算是阳光充足的大白天也一样,那种孤独感仍然会扑面而来,总而言之是一款十分不错的恐怖游戏,流程不长,推荐喜欢看故事以及爱好短流程的恐怖游戏玩家游玩
slowly walk around and read notes and spam the help button so the game can tell you where to go. BORING
进入游戏时便让人十分的不安,没有任何的怪物,却通过压抑的空间、昏暗破旧的环境、背景音乐、主角错乱的记忆、主线故事及文本,塑造出愈演愈烈的不安感,愈接近结尾这种感觉愈是强烈。到被切除额叶时,执行手术的医生抓住主角的下巴,与主角对视时达到顶点,那一瞬简直让人窒息。Poor girl为了通过心理评估,离开精神病院受尽折磨,好不容易合格了,却被切除了前额叶。这医生真坏啊!
A horrifying glimpse back to how mentally ill people were treated in the past. I usually do not have an issue with "walking sims" but this one I just found pretty sluggish to get through. But the story got me through it as it was very well told and incredibly tragic. A very beautiful game.
super bleak. I know it's a horror game but you're just walking around getting snippets of someone's horrific life and there doesn't seem to be any point. I'm also not clear on whose POV I have. some random person possessed by renee? a medium? i
A slow-paced psychological adventure with an unsettling atmosphere and a realistic portrayal of life inside a psychiatric hospital. Unfortunately, the painfully slow movement speed, repetitive environments, and overwhelming amount of notes make much of the journey feel exhausting. However, the final act (especially the lobotomy scene) is genuinely shocking and memorable, making the ending somehow worth experiencing. 3\5
