Wardwell House

Игра "Wardwell House" - это захватывающий хоррор с уклоном в психологию. Игроку предстоит исследовать мрачный и зловещий особняк, наполненный загадками и пугающими моментами. Визуальное оформление отлично передаёт атмосферу ужаса, а скримеры действительно заставляют подпрыгнуть. Сюжет, хоть и не самый оригинальный, но подаётся достаточно интересно, чтобы удерживать внимание до самого конца. Геймплей состоит из исследования локаций, решения головоломок и уклонения от враждебных сущностей. Головоломки достаточно сложные, чтобы заставить пошевелить мозгами, но не настолько, чтобы стать непроходимыми. Управление удобное и интуитивно понятное. Несмотря на то, что в игре присутствуют клише, характерные для жанра, разработчикам удалось создать действительно пугающую и запоминающуюся атмосферу. "Wardwell House" - отличный выбор для любителей хорроров, желающих пощекотать себе нервы. Рекомендую играть в наушниках и в полной темноте для максимального погружения. Единственное, что можно было бы улучшить, это более глубокую проработку персонажей и чуть больше разнообразия в врагах. В целом же игра оставила положительное впечатление.

Sehr schöne und auch spannende Geschichte. Die Atmosphäre ist ebenfalls sehr gut gemacht und dafür dass das Spiel gratis ist, kann man nichts falsch machen. Ein kompletter durchlauf dauert knapp 40 Minuten.

Another game that could really use a neutral review option because it really isn't all that good or bad. See, the black and white photographies themselves are pretty nice and lend themselves well to a project like this, so together with the serviceable sound design and some slightly ominous notes, it does work as a light horror photo adventure. However it's the writing where things get inconsistent or frustrating: Our protagonist only ever visits the titular building to search for food and rest, seemingly believing that the houseowners must be nice or reasonable folks who would help someone in a dire situation like him, ignoring all of the bloody hooks, rusty chainsaws etc. on his way there - and yet, once he finally arrives, despite the interior looking way better than one might expect; not only does he never even try to make himself known by asking if anyone is there; he also starts ignoring the very needs that brought him there in the first place. Not a single trip to the kitchen; not a single line of dialogue or even a short remark about a table that looks like there could be some food there, not one second rested on any bed. Once the apparent homeowner does come back, and although he didn't break in or steal anything, he decides to hide in a closet instead of, let's say, ask for some food or a phone? If our protagonist thinks that this is a creepy-ass house with death awaiting him inside, then why go there - unarmed, no less! - in the first place? If he's naive and hopeful enough to expect help, why hide in a closet? It's inconsequential and immersion-breaking, making the actual focus on horses and gambling all the more comical. Also, if you're playing with silence and only have a like two or three voicelines, better make sure these are either interesting or relevant, because those answering machine bits sure as hell weren't. Last but not least,: THAT'S how you decided to end the b/w main part of the story? Like, really? Build-up was not worth the pay-off, I'm afraid. It's a free, short, and at times kinda atmospheric little game so the thumb down may seem harsh, but comparing the 43 minutes it took me to complete vs. the actual enjoyment or excitement I felt while doing so unfortunately leaves me with a ~4/10-ish experience that falls a little short of a recommendation.

One of my favourite games I've played. I'm a new gamer so a calm point and click horror is perfect for me. The use of 3D photographs was amazing; realistic right? And the Victorian spookiness was great. If you are a slower player and don't feel like running and fighting for your life all the time, just want to enjoy a little horror story and leisurely explore, this is the game for you.

Decent game

Spooky. I like the use of photography. I also like how you can TOTALLY tell the dev took these photos on a museum trip. A bit camp because of that, but the plot is interesting enough.

Muy buen juego , entretenida la historia , buen clima de terror , distinto .
