Uventa

I fell through the map and the killer chased me under the map and killed me. 3 Times.

Uventa is a Russian horror game released by publisher/developer BlackRat. The story is vague and translucent, but you play as an unnamed night guard who is for whatever reason stationed at an abandoned school. Hearing glass breaking in the distance, he figures that a bunch of kids have broken in to trash the place and goes about investigating the commotion. He soon encounters ghostly whispers, entities that aren't really there, and a really angry dude hellbent on cleaving him to death. There are no notes to elaborate further on what's going on, but the ending does explain the "true story" that was the inspiration for the game. For most of the gameplay, you'll find yourself running from the aforementioned cleaver man and trying to dodge him by breaking his line of sight, or hiding in closets. He's one of those annoying one-hit kill bosses, and he appears almost constantly. It adds more frustration than challenge, but he's also easily bypassed most of the time. The rest of what you'll be doing is needlessly collecting coins and stamps, finding keys, and also solving some pretty straight-forward puzzles; you know, the usual "we're out of ideas" horror schtick. There are also some technical problems, in that you can fall through the floor, see through objects, and actually cause the AI to get stuck through the floor. This is a Russian game, and the only element that has been translated are the subtitles, but generally everything is easy to figure out even for English players. In the end, though, Uventa isn't bad for a first-time release. In fact, it's really not bad at all for a $1.19 CAD game, either. Very few titles at this price, especially ones that come out of Russia, aren't scams or asset flips; so that says something in itself. The campaign only lasts about an hour, but there is a very thick and tense atmosphere to be enjoyed here. The original (not free from Incompetech) soundtrack aids in creating these feelings. It's a good start, and a solid hotfix could iron out the few problems that invade the gameplay. If you don't like enemies that kill you in one hit, this will be a bane to you, but if you don't mind that kinda thing and have a buck burning a hole in your pocket, there are worse ways to spend your evening. Oh, and a word of warning to enthusiasts... the achievements are broken.

Simples e um pouco decepcionante.. Cenário grande e ótimo para desenvolver mais a história, mas peca em simplifica demais e ter menos de 50 minutos de duração. O Cara que te persegue é um maníaco bugado, que as vezes faz uma corrida longa e as vezes tranca em tudo. E você morre trava os comandos e demora um tempo pra dar que você morreu. pelos R$2,29 que ele esta, até que ta barato demais... mais não espere muito !! É um jogo de terror com puto potencial, jogado fora.

Uventa это игра на час, и стоит 30 рублей. За свою цену вполне сойдет. Играем за сторожа заброшенной советской школы, которого с этим местом кое-что связывает... Ищем ключи и коды от двери, убегаем от непонятных мужиков, жаждущих нашей смерти, собираем разный древний хлам, получаем подозрительные смски и в конце узнаем ужасную правду! Концовка очень наивная и нелепая, сомневаюсь что все именно так бы закончилось [spoiler] и что такие (не)люди способны на раскаяние. [/spoiler] Но игра за 30 рублей, от нее не стоит многого ждать.

The story is just stale you will get jumpscared the first time but after that it'll be normal again. The game dropped fps couple of times making me restart the whole application to get back to normal. The Puzzles were kind of fun to do but worse of them all is the ending talk about anti-climactic FOR REAL. The achievements don't work too.

Despite all the negative reviews, I would like to write a few positives. The game has an interesting atmosphere (which is not based on cheap jumpscares), the graphics are very good, I liked the voices/music very much. I also loved the fact, that the developers have put some much effort in location details - I played the game for nearly 2 hours (altough the game itself is extremely short and can be completed in 30mins), because I really enjoyed admiring all those, real-life Soviet-era posters. Fantastic job! As a polish guy, I would like to Thank the developers for the polish accent in the game - a big smile appeared on my face when I found it. But to be honest, the game also has it flaws. The enemies are blind as bats, and dumb as doorknobs: they seem to have no AI at all, and are very easy to predict and outwit. The (very few) puzzles might be interesting and fun, but are rather simple..well, maybe except the one at the end of the game that requires reading Russian - it took me a while to figure out that I should click on the screen to type something on the keyboard. Also, at some moments the game had problems with optimization: the frame rate was able to drop below (around) 20fps on a GTX 1060, i7-7700 and Win7. I hope that the Devs will fix that someday. If You`re looking for a cheap, one go ("finish once and forget") adventure which has good atmosphere and requires almost no skill to play - this game is definetly worth recommending. If You`re looking for an alpha-high class-premium production, You will surely be dissapointed. Personally, I loved the game. P.S. As for the ending. SERIOUSLY? He had THAT item all the time with him?!

Не буду лить говно и грязь на сей проект, делая скидку на бюджет, вернее полное его отсутствие и факт того, что это первый и, как я полагаю, единственный проект от этого разраба. Игра сырая, имеются баги, но это никак не портит атмосферу старой советской школы. Локи проработаны до нереальных подробностей, заставляя словитьне не хилую ностальгию по советской школе. Единственное что бесит - сюжет. Не продуман, не прописан, подан не ясно как. Личность ГГ не раскрыта, как, что куда, откуда, зачем становится понятно только в самом конце, все остальное время складывается ощущение, что мы идем туда, куда мы идем, просто для того, чтобы идти. Почему ГГ не помнит кто он, не понятно, видимо очень долго били по голове через то место, через которое обычно достается всем подобным преступникам и он словил психотравму. Игра имеет потенциал, если ее довести до ума, но то, что ГГ педофил, который резко вспомнил об этом, бред и оставляет после себя осадок. Люди любят играть за психов, убийц, наркоманов, гангстеров, чертей, но никак не за педофилов. 3 и 5 только за визуал.

Это отвратительная игра!
