This game is a real scary experience that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The atmospheric horror and intricate storytelling truly stands out. With the new updates, the game has become even more polished. If you’re into horror games, you’ve gotta try this one.
When The Devil Takes Hold, it will make you jump in your seat. This one has a few well placed jump scares, not too many to be overused, the atmosphere and use of lightning and camera night vision are well executed, there's a few puzzles and mini games that add to the length of this short horror game on first play through, to note there is a difficult lock puzzle late game that doesn't do a great job of explaining the resolution, which will likely take players a lot of trial and error identifying and deciphering symbols using the cipher. Overall this was a fun short storied horror game, that has you exploring a possession house.
Game has some bugs. The jump scares are great. Was good game for Halloween night.
Bon jeu d'horreur psychlogique, très bon jumpscares. Gameplay FR : https://youtu.be/FzS8iMQCiSI?si=pg8PGTAYmPPgAXfU
O jogo é curto, mas definitivamente vale o preço.
El juego esta muy bueno para las personas que quieran empezar/meterse en los juegos de horror/terror psicológico. Juego corto y divertido con una historia decente. No es el mejor juego de terror pero si te saca unos sustos 👻 si valió la compra. Graficos y sonidos decentes. 7.5/10 👍 El juego completo por si gustan ver algo de gameplay 😃: https://youtu.be/aWApYUjCW50?si=VmwtE4-g-Gc7_hkw
OMG!! I really appreciate this game! The atmosphere, the jumpscares, and the puzzles! I just got to chapter 3 and can't wait to finish!
I wanted to give this game a thumbs up because in the first 20 minutes or so it had a really good atmosphere. All that was ruined for me when I got to the basement part where you need to find a marble ball. This female ghost pops up and if you don't hide in the locker or somewhere for the exact right time, it's instant death, After three attempts I gave up and uninstalled the game. If you like stealth games, maybe give it a try. But if you're looking for a good horror walking sim like I did, avoid. I also encountered some annoying bugs that get you stuck on boxes or in halls when you're walking, but I could have lived with that.
thumb up
solid indie horror title w. good atmosphere and jumpscares, but pretty generic. its worth the price imo 8/10
