Wardwell House

This free indie horror game is worth checking out.

马的眼睛太吓人了😂

Not really scary but the story got me hooked. I would have wanted it to be longer.

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.

Decent game

the game is made really good, tho i think there should definetly triggerwarnings be added. the game really traumatised me to be honest and it should be at least 16+ age restricted. i know there wasnt any actual proof to the things but it really disturbed and horrorfied me. please do not play this if youre sensitive <3
