A must play for those, who enjoy the atmospheric horror and unforgettable journey through mystic, eerie environment. Although, the game can benefit from an update.
Talking all the positives here - the storytelling, just really immersive. Your companion gets lost and straight away, you chase them, of course, it is A MUST! Loved the night time scenery, which felt very claustrophobic to be honest, even thou you run around a huge area of tall grass everywhere. The house itself, more like a shack, looked creepy. The demon like monster was a good antagonist, offering the salvation and yet that first "death ending" still got me. You definitely improved from your previous game, put care and attention to the details, yet I still had some minor issues.
To start with, I kept getting stuck on the grass, like the first time you run to chase your dog, you get stuck and then I had to restart the game. Second time, same thing happened when I grabbed the flashlight and went towards the path. The other thing with the game is performance - I do generally blame my PC, because it can't take high end games, but this played really good while I was running around, looking for clues, yet during the day time and monster encounter it lagged. Might want to look into that. As for the clues, they were a little bit complicated. I am not saying it was PhD level hard, but I was a bit confused and maybe giving more direction to the player can help.
Once again, stellar game, loved the atmosphere, but I would suggest having an update. Also, side note, maybe reupload the game, as other people on the site can't see it, because it was posted a while ago as an announcement. Trust me, reposting this will bring more attention.
Best of luck with the future updates and installments Rivend!
Hey, thanks so much for playing my game! Even more thanks for such a comprehensive review!
I totally agree that the game can be demanding on the GPU as it has to render a lot of grass, fog and particle effects so indeed some computers may have a problem with it. I will try to optimise it, although I have tested it on a total of 4 PCs and had no major problems.
As for the puzzles - here too I was worried that they might be too complicated for such a simple game not known to anyone, but I decided to put everything on the line and take a chance.
PS. That shack where the demon is not the house from the games title ;). There are morę levels
Thanks again for the review and I will definitely learn from it!
