Bite Size Terrors: Erobos Heaven

The vibes and atmosphere are absolutely incredible, top notch, especially at the start. The world, with masterful use of analog and digital effects like jpeg-style compression, slight over and under exposure enhance the realism of the setting without needing it to actually be fully realistic, which lead to genuinely the most tense I've been starting a videogame. I would recommend the game for this alone. However [SPOILERS AHEAD] Once the narrative actually starts going, it quickly lost its terrifying quality. Ultimately I think the ambiguity of not knowing was more terrifying than the knowledge of something being there. This ambiguity could have been expanded and exploited if the game focused more on the scene itself: The house is by itself the strongest part of the entire game. The narration, the monster design and the narrative itself were actually really, really well made and high quality and in another game they would've been the main selling point for sure, but in this context with so, so much potential, they ultimately made the experience a bit less than what it could be. I'm thinking of something more in line with the house or the setting being the monster instead of needing an external monster, somewhat like P.T (2014), Silent Hill 2 (2001), Twin Peaks (1990) , or Anatomy (2016). A lot of these do have monsters, but in these cases ultimately the setting is the monster, the antagonist. Reminds me of the concept of Heterotopia, a kind of "other space" that exists within society but outside of or devoid of its usual norms, a kind-of parallel in-between world that's neither a dystopia nor a utopia. [SPOILERS OVER] Overall, great game. Absolutely top notch setting. And my only gripe is that it could have been even better if it exploited its strongest aspects even more.

Scary Scuffed Games #387 https://twitch.tv/DitoMido Bisherige Reviews Archiv: https://rsg.ditomido.de/archive Vorgeschlagen von: winter_fox8 Bite Size Terrors: Erobos Heaven ist leider sehr unausgeglichen. Es legt sehr viel Wert auf Sound und gerade beim Monster schafft es auch Gänsevorhautmomente zu erzeugen. Das Voiceover ist gut, aber leider sind stellenweise die Schritte gefühlt auf 300% Lautstärke, allerdings nur auf Parkettboden. Manchmal vergisst man auch einfach die Task die gerade zu erledigen ist (besonders als Streamer) und sucht verzweifelt alles im Haus ab, was man gerade erledigen soll. Auch schwierig finde ich, dass das bestimmte Objekte sehr penibel mit der Ineraktion sind. So kann eine Tür oder Kühlschranktür zum Öffnen nur über den griff aktiviert werden. Ein einblendbares Task Checklisten HUD wäre an dieser stelle sehr Hilfreich, ohne großartig die Immersion zu Rauben. Ich finde die stärken liegen hier ganz klar in den Cinematics, das Gameplay selbst ist aber leider sehr schwach. Besser hätte ich mir eine Art YT Short Horror Serie gewünscht denn ich denke, storytechnisch böte es einiges an Potenzial. Auch die Vertonung ist somit deutlich präziser. Für 5€ Vollpreis etwas Kurz und das Gameplay war leider einfach nicht unterhaltsam. Rating: Dito: 2.8/5 Chat: 1.76/5 Gesamt: 2.28/5

Ne voglio ancoraaaaa!!!

[H1]Una breve esperienza distrurbante[/H1] Applausi. Applausi perché anOVERTHINKER ha creato una breve esperienza horror veramente disturbante. La sua infima durata (che però non è assolutamente un malus, anzi) vi terrà incollati allo schermo per circa 30 minuti, mettendovi in una atmosfera "Uncanny" veramente inquietante. Non sappiamo niente: veniamo teletrasportati di fronte una casa, in mezzo al nulla, senza nessuno. Il nostro protagonista non fa altro che pregare Dio, non sappiamo perché ci troviamo lì e cosa è successo prima. Forse la fine del mondo è arrivata e "qualcosa" ci ha... "salvati", portandoci qui? Non sappiamo nulla, solo speculazione e lore. Questo è quello che penso io: [Spoiler]La fine del mondo. Al telegiornale viene detto che "...delle braccia stanno scendendo dal cielo e stanno rapendo le persone. Forse il nostro protagonista viene rapito da una di queste entità e portato in questa dimensione per essere il suo "giocattolo". L'entità può giocare come vuole, è lui il Dio di questa dimensione. Come dice alla fine "il tuo DIO non esiste. IO ESISTO" Questa è la mia interpretazione, anche se ho letto alcune speculazioni molto molto interessanti, anche riguardanti un significato più nascosto sul bambino e come lui vede il mostro.[/Spoiler] L'entità soprannaturale che infesta questa "dimensione" è spaventosamente potente, può fare quello che vuole. Comanda lui. Il gioco ha uno stile quasi da Analog Horror che, personalmente, rappresentano l'apice di ciò che mi spaventa in un videogioco. Non so perché ma mi ha sempre disturbato molto. In sostanza questa breve esperienza ve la consiglio caldamente, non ve ne pentirete. Costa poco, fa quello che deve fare e lo fa molto bene. Attendo con ansia altri giochi di anOVERTHINKER

полное говно, мне не нравится, да все наверное, чо совсем батрак что ли, не стоит своих денег, много воды где в одной части ты играешь за взрослого а во второй за малого, ни одна из этих частей не страшная, кароче говно

Лучшая хоррор игра в которую я играл за последнее время , а я играл во много игр. Она не пугает тебя скримерами , но она держит тебя в таком напряжении , что ты думаешь , что лучше бы тебе уже просто кинули скример. Очень атмосферное и напрягающее звуковое сопровождение. Очень хорошая игра , стоит каждой копейки. One of the best horror games i have played in a while and i have played a lot. It doesnt scare you with cheap screamers , but it is holidng you in a such tension that you beg for it to just give you a screamer, just not to experience this fear of the unknown and the neverending dread anymore . The sound design is beyond good. This game costs extremely cheap for the experience it gives you

I'm normally bored playing horror games and don't have much interest. BUT. This was terrifying, unsettling and incredibly unique. Me and my girlfriend were both amazed by this little hidden gem and loved it. Can't wait for the next game :)

While this game is quite short, it packs a hell of a punch. It's very analog forward, and I don't see a lot of games outside of backrooms utilize that. There were multiple extremely tense moments that had me backing away from the screen. While not perfect, this game is the scariest I've encountered for a while
