7th Floor

For a first game from a 2 person developer team working on this in their free time after their actual daily jobs, it is a remarkable achievement. Just for full transparency, I personally know one of them and count him as a dear friend, so my review is biased - but it is not the reason it's positive. Well, maybe a little. If you expect this to be Resident Evil in terms of quality, well, you are looking at a 4,99 product mostly made of free (or cheap?) assets, everything is properly disclosed in the Credits, from enviroment models to sounds. But it is Resident Evil in heart. You have the puzzles, the information gathering (without the game telling you, hey, you saw these numbers somewhere, maybe try to use them), you have the "Tyrant". What I loved about 7th Floor is, that despite it's extremely short playtime - 96 minutes, finished in a single sitting - it's atmosphere absolutely weights you down, your brain is expected to work all the time, which makes it intense. The jumpscares (maybe aside from a certain door) are well placed, and shockingly, the psychological horror tag is entirely justified by a twist I did not see coming, or done so well outside of a certain book from Daniel Keyes, which is just a great example of what gaming as a medium is capable of, playing with your senses and how you percieve the world around you exclusively based on the information you have. As someone who has spent the better part of his 32 years gaming, what I really appriciate about 7th Floor is, that in such a short playtime the devs could include various gameplay elements that other games sometimes use as their entire gimmick, and this is another area where it's comparable to Resident Evil 2 which was no doubt a heavy inspiration for 7th Floor. I would love to describe an example of that, but I don't want to spoil things away for you. 7th Floor is not going to change the world for you. But for sure it changed the world for it's developers. If you are out there, burnt out from AAA, looking at small indie studios or just yearning for those "good old days" when AAA games used to be like this, give it a shot, you will not regret it. This review is supposed to help you set your expectations right. I hope it did! HINT: to enhance the horror feel, set the game to much darker than it is by default. The trailer's tone is much darker than our actual experience was, all the rooms were much brighter and thus a bit less scary than they could've been. But this is something you can set up before you start!

Már vártam, hogy kipróbálhassam és nem csalódtam! ✨ Jól összerakott játék: borzongató légkör, puzzle-harc-menekülés és jó sztori! ~ Az egyetlen (személyes) negatívumom, hogy a játék menetét kissé megtörte nekem az, amennyit olvasnom kellett egy-egy flopinál. Nagyon bejött a sztori és szeretek is olvasni, de egyben ez nekem kizökkentő volt, talán egy kis tördeléssel másabb lehetett volna. (pl, Tracy-nél nem 1 flopin az egész, hanem Tracy 1. és 2.) De ez személyes, ám ha bárki hasonszőrű lenne mint én, akkor is csak ajánlom, mert megéri 😉 Gratula a fejlesztőknek és csak így tovább!!! UI.: Párszor rendesen megugrottam ijedtemben xD

Este jogo surpreendeu-me pela positiva, gameplay sem bugs, jumpscares decentes e uma história que te deixa a querer saber mais. Combate é um pouco repetitivo e os puzzles são fáceis o suficiente para não perderes demasiado tempo. Recomendo e espero mais desta pequena mas eficiente equipa!

地下室的密码知道以后天亮了不能去了。。。你们要早点去

whoever thought the button layout of this game was a good idea needs to be drug tested and needs to stop making games ASAP. brain dead

还行，就是有点莫名其妙的

No suelo dejar reseñas en los juegos pero en este merece la pena hacerlo Es un juego bastante economico y tiene unos muy buenos graficos y un sistema como ellos dicen publicamente parecido a los re y outlast. Las mejores partes son cuando te persiguen el doctor La verdad no mucho mas para decir , en 1 horita o 2 ya te lo pasas pero me han sacado sustos que ni juegos famosos han logrado 10/10!

Fun. Great atmosphere. Good scares.
