[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] The Wendigo is one of literally thousands of creatively bankrupt asset flips infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere.[/quote] This is a run of the mill, ho hum Unreal asset flip. I even recognise the house you wander around in from a few other asset flips. There's jumpscares and an asset flipped monster, too. The only notable thing about this is the developer gave up trying to charge money for it. The Wendigo is partially or completely made up of stock assets, "borrowed" from asset stores and free asset websites. Little, if anything in this game is the creation of the "developer". While there's no up front price for this asset flip, the other problem with asset flips is that when developers aren't capable of doing their job and creating high quality assets, it's also true they can't do any of the rest of the job of a game developer either. That's definitely true for "The Wendigo", and this kind of asset flipping never results in games that have quality or value for PC gamers. This game is fairly dated at 8 years old... it's showing a bit of age and won't give you a very up-to-date gaming experience. It's free... now, but it wasn't before. The developer was charging $5 USD for this. Trying to get YOUR money for someone else's Unreal game assets and a first person game blueprint the developer also didn't make. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It's a nice gesture for the game to be given away for free, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. It's also a bit of a slap in the face to anyone who paid money for this... nobody got refunded. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 6 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off.

Un très grand jeu, un chef d'oeuvre vidéoludique, peut-être aussi bien sinon mieux que les remakes de Dead Space et Resident Evil 4. Une pépite d'horreur à l'ambiance léchée et oppressante. Un grand moment de stress en perspective, on fait proute proute quand on lance le jeu. Je le recommande chaudement à tous les grands joueurs de jeux d'horreur. Bravo à l'équipe, je vous embrasse tendrement.
I'm going to refrain from ripping on this since it was developed by one person and to that I say fantastic job. You have a bright future in games development. Just imagine what you can do with a team behind you. However, I just couldn't get into this one. The whole Slender style wasn't for me then and it isn't for me now. And when I think of a Wendigo ripping my eyeballs out, I usually think the great outdoors and national parks. That sort of thing.

Игра "The Wendigo" - это кошмарное погружение в леденящую душу атмосферу, где каждый шорох может оказаться предвестником неминуемой гибели. Сюжет, основанный на мифологии коренных американцев, разворачивается медленно и напряженно, заставляя игрока чувствовать себя уязвимым и одиноким перед лицом древнего зла. Визуальное исполнение создает гнетущую обстановку заброшенности и страха, с темными лесами, продуваемыми ветром и тускло освещенными хижинами, где таится опасность. Звуковое сопровождение выше всяких похвал – каждый скрип, стон ветра и отдаленный вой заставляют сердце бешено колотиться. Геймплей строится на исследовании, решении загадок и попытках выжить. Важно помнить, что Wendigo - не просто монстр, это сила, против которой сложно бороться напрямую. Нужно быть умным, осторожным и использовать окружение в свою пользу. Несмотря на то, что игра может показаться медлительной, именно это создает нужный эффект напряжения и ужаса. "The Wendigo" - это не просто хоррор, это психологическое испытание, которое заставит задуматься о границах человеческой воли и темных уголках человеческой природы. Рекомендую всем любителям атмосферных и пугающих игр.
