Withered Haven

Nice little hide-from-the-enemy style horror game here. I noticed that the darker the brightness setting was the more difficult it was, so by the end the game I had it cranked all the way up to ten. My only minor complaint is that one of the key items for unlocking the third ending is easy to miss and you have to use chapter select to go back and try to find it. All in all, I enjoyed it. I'm hoping more streamers will play it, too. (I think there's a slight nod to Caseoh at one point). Looking forward to more from these devs!

It's a no from me.

Really fun game, has solid suspense and you get an insane wife. No downsides here.

Scary Scuffed Games #460 https://twitch.tv/DitoMido Bisherige Reviews Archiv: https://rsg.ditomido.de/archive Vorgeschlagen von: Arktaros Absolut überflüssig das Spiel. Kein Sinn für Environmental- und Gamedesign. Wir rennen/schleichen nur von A nach B, um innerhalb von ca. 40 Minuten Spielzeit einen Nudeskin und zwei weitere frei zu schalten. Die Story ist Schmutz, Die Assets sind schlampig platziert, Das Gameplay ist Schmutz, es ist einfach nur eine schlechte Thirsttrap. Was und Wo wir absurderweise suchen mussten nur um unnnötig beschäftigt zu werden Bis Goth mommy Waifu uns zu Gute Nacht küsst, hat mir beinahe körperliche Schmerzen zugefügt.

Withered Haven! One of my first Demos completed on my Youtube channel, so it has a big of... nostalgia? Withered Haven is a game where you play a man who arrived home one day to find his wife and child missing, and he has to navigate life not knowing what happened to them. Needless to say, he isn't doing very well, especially when he harbors guilt for spending so much time in the office. About the game itself, I'll list off the positives and negatives. Negatives: - I don't feel like the character models of the wife and kid fit the setting. Perhaps more of a cartoonish/anime style of graphics? - The story went by a bit too fast. You were in the office, then home, then office, then on the way to your car, then forest. Just felt like the game went by really quickly rather than slowing down and being a slow burn. - I'd like to know more about the motivation behind the wife's actions, and the throwback areas where you're in the house together don't really explain that much. Positives: - Even though I felt the character models didn't fit the graphics of the game, they were models that aren't used in every single indie horror you play, ever. That gives this a uniqueness that a lot of games are lacking. - The story is interesting. (SPOILERS) A story where a mans family goes missing and he has to navigate figuring out what to do without them, then finds out that his wife completed a demonic ritual to keep herself alive longer isn't a typical indie horror story. I was curious to learn more about where she figured out how to do this and what lead up to it. - The story left me wanting to know more in general, and wondering if there will be a second that possibly explains the origin of this demon ritual thing and how she could have gotten her hands on it, or at least have another family where it explains all that. - Creepy child stalking you is creepy. - Hot goth wife is hot? Thank you to the devs! I leave reviews that are always honest and sincere, regardless of free keys or not.

Good stealth gameplay, and the story holds your attention decently enough. It’s nice to have the option of multiple endings to see different choices after finding out the plot. Very immersive/oppressive atmosphere throughout the game. 8.5/10

Pretty good game, has a lot of suspense and a good way to lose an hour or two.
