We own the previous title by the same developer and have the same issue. The atmosphere is really creepy but there are too many places that look the same its easy to get lost. Im stuck on both games. We played this one with our wife and despite trying several times we are lost / stuck. Our recommendation is to watch the 1st few minutes of a walkthrough to see if its right for you.
So we enjoyed it, the visuals were cool and the atmosphere was creepy and fun. We loved all the things to interact with and the puzzles were engaging but we feel like they left loose-ends. Part of this kind of thriller is in getting the answers actually piecing things together. And the reveal of her being in love with not the friend you might typically have expected falls flat and doesnt add anything or in our opinion actually count as an actual twist. Idk we would have liked this to be better knit together story and horror/thriller. For that Im glad it wasnt an expensive game but save for feeling unsatisfied with the ending it is a good game, we wouldnt play it over but Im not upset that we did. And for a game for the spooky season it fits right in.
It doesnt. After the opening screen disappears a black screen with loading written in the lower right hand corner appears and then the game force closes. Refund please! Reinstalled the game, restarted our device, neither worked. To make matters worse we purchased the bundle that also included the game Home. Disappointing because we really was excited to play this game.
Probably the best mobile horror game we’ve played so far.
Eight interesting chapters of story, puzzles, and evading death. A bit of gore and a lot of mystery. Fun little jumpscares too. What we loved: -The graphics. They arent pixelated out of laziness; theres a ton of detail in every location. -The use of stereo sound. Makes the monster(s) sneaking up on you much creepier, plus great ambient noise (use headphones)! -The dialogue. We actually cared about the main characters. What could have been better: -The ending (no spoilers)… There are more than a few loose ends. Certain plot points seem to be there just to add more horror gameplay without ever being explained. Regardless, we gave the game 5 stars because its clear a TON of effort was put into this. Wish there was a sequel!
This game is definitely worth the small handful of Loonies it costs. The story is fun to follow along and kept us engaged. Nothing groundbreakingjust a solid horror romp. The puzzles are not so hard that frustration gets in the way, but are still challenging enough to to be worth the effort. The character designs and overall aesthetic fit perfectly with the story. If we have any complaints, dodging the creature gets a bit tedious, but its a minor gripe and eventually youll learn strategies that work (Hollys face when she gets caught is pretty great, though!). The app is cheap, so just buy it and enjoy a few fun evenings with headphones on in the dark. If it aint your jam, youve only lost the price of a cup of coffee. Us? We wore a stupid grin from the opening scene to the final (great) epilogue. Thanks!
Its hard to come across actual horror titles on mobile so Im happy to find them when we can. Overall this is pretty good for what it is. Controls and gameplay are very well done and had some effort put into them. We do wish the monster encounters werent so repetitive and simple but it could be far worse. Happy we gave this a try. Hope more people come across it as it deserves far more ratings.
One of a few horror game apps that we’ve found. We love the pixelated graphics. Hope to see more like this.
We downloaded this game on a whim since pixel art and horror stories are both our jam. In regards to visuals, we were not disappointed. The lighting and environment are beautiful and wonderfully detailed despite the pixelated style. The closer examination artwork is also nicely stylized without detracting from the ominous atmosphere. Our only issue, which is a rather large one for us, was with the story itself. Obviously we dont want to spoil anything, but there were aspects about the plot that just didnt seem to make sense in the light of the final conclusion, and overall it felt pretty lackluster and uninspired. There was nothing shocking or surprising and by the end of it we felt like we had had so many clues as to the conclusion that we were just ready for it to be over. Overall, this wasnt a bad game, but at the end of it we wasnt exactly happy for having spent money on it either.
Its an engaging game, but the story is weak. The timeline doesnt make sense, the characters are flat, the puzzles dont make sense, and the story leaves so much untold. What exactly are the ghouls roaming about? How does a doctor know the exact weight of his own heart in ounces? Is it two years, or ten years after graduation? Shes a closeted lesbian the whole time? Really?! That surprise falls very flat given the lack of narrative structure. We played it through, because the ambience is interesting, and we suppose we thought it would improve. However, it was ultimately very disappointing.
Would give zero stars if we could. Game constantly crashes/glitches and wont even open for more than 10 seconds before it crashes. Waste of money. Very disappointing. Not worth the buy.
