CAGE-FACE | Case 2: The Sewer

Les égouts sont une zone habitée... Vidéo de découverte : https://youtu.be/dDI3FLJUE6Y Je conseille aux personnes qui ont les nerfs solides et qui apprécient les jeux d'horreur ou il faut éviter ou fuir un monstre.

Just like the previous entry, the art, sound design and pacing were very well-done! The tension was real all the time and I personally really like the direction the plot is currently going. On the downside, Cage-Face's AI and teleporation behavior could use some work, as it feels a bit unfair at times and the grammar/writing style could use just a tad more sophistication. Other than that, the price is definitely justified. Looking forward to the next series entry!

Length: First playthrough <40min An action horror game which sees the player attempting to escape through the sewers, while being hunted by Cage-Face, a monster that is relentless and can appear at any time to kill you. Through Cage-Face 2 you will be playing on one large sewer map, in which you need to find lockers and their passcodes so you can escape. While the map may feel small, you will be permanently kept on your toes and the moment you hear the song of the Canary, RUN! Your gun can only slow down Cage-Face, and he can appear from anywhere. Keeping track of Cage-Face at first will help you survive but he can appear in front of you. Make sure to aim for the cage, it will be tough while he is hunting you. Think you’re being smart by hopping down a ladder to escape him as he’s incapable of climbing? Well guess again, remember he teleports through the walls, and he didn’t lose sight of you on that ladder! The game kind of reminds of the ‘Horror Tales: The Wine’ in those moments you are being hunted, where the panic sets in and you need to quickly get away. While the locker combos are easy to work out, finding the questions will take you looking throughout the sewers. The game also does a good job in that backstory for the Cage-Face though this is through text and you will unlock more of the detective's files once you complete the game. This is a lot of reading so it may not be for everyone. Overall I enjoyed playing Cage-Face 2, it is a short game which keeps you on edge and really does an amazing job to unnerve you when you hear the Canary. The information and backstory of Cage-Face was fun to read, and it was a challenge unlocking the safe. If the game sounds like it’s for you make sure to check out Cage-Face Case 1, the games are similar with Case 2 being a bit longer. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1287640/CAGEFACE__Case_1_The_Mine/ If you want to see gameplay of Cage-Face Case 2 then my video is below, it can also help you unlock the safe if you are stuck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44rMPIjIDSI Looking for horror games to play, check out my curator page I may have discovered a horror game you’ve missed: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41770172/

Mal optimizado. Controles toscos. Enemigo tramposo (mientras subes escaleras al huir de el, se teletransporta recontando tu ventaja) El juego es extremadamente mareante y laberíntico (el juego me provocó mareos y dolor de cabeza) No lo recomiendo.

OK sewer game. The map is a bit confusing. Looking for signs for directional, plus a couple of playthroughs fixes this. But I'm not a big fan of enemy teleport to your position for reason... Badly. Never figured out what the safe code was (strange note). Child, Deep and Hole were the words capitalized. HOLE D4 was all I got.

CAGE-FACE | Case 2: The Sewer is a really mixed bag of an atmospheric, horror game and a bit of a downgrade from the first game. But now let's talk about the story. It has been a couple months since the detective took a missing person's case from a woman who wanted to find her grandfather, at first the detective almost turned it down because of its simplicity, but then he discovered that the grandfather was searching for a creature some old monster that had been pursuing him all his life and that creature is also responsible for dozens of deaths possibly around the world. The detective started by finding a police report and interview of a teenager who admited being chased by this creature and also lost his friend to it, now he has found a new clue from the grandfather a case about a bank robbery gone wrong and the bank robber's account of how his partners and a bunch of sewer workers all perished at the hands of a monster with a cage for a face. Alright the likes, the story like I said with the review of the first game this story is pretty good, we get more clues on what Cage Face could possibly be and find out that this creature seems to be going around killing people around the world and the detective trying to figure out what is going on. The main story is pretty simple like the main story for the first game, but this is about bank robber who him and his gang tried to use the sewer as an escape route only for him to get lost and to find cage face. The gameplay is okayish its pretty much uses the same gameplay as the first game to an extent, basically you wander around solving some light puzzles and gathering items in order to escape cage face while also trying not to die by him and the poisoning. But here instead of hiding like the first game has since you’re a thief you have a handgun that you can use to shoot the creature in the head and if you shoot him enough times it stuns him for a bit, it’s an interesting idea but there are a lot of bad stuff about the gameplay, but that's for the dislikes. The monster cage face is still pretty good and spooky, again good design with its minor aesthetic and cage for a face, it even has a pretty good jump scare at the beginning. The graphics are generally the same as they were for the first game with a nice use of colors and designs that make the place feel authentic. The level is okayish I mean the sewer system does have a problem that's for dislikes, but does feel realistic and it's an interesting location while still being underground while also not being another mine. The atmosphere is pretty good, it’s nice and spooky and it definitely keep you on edge as you dread each sound of Cage Face you hear. Now is this game scary yes for first time players and especially if you're playing on hard mode trying to get the hard achievement when you're so close to winning, also Cage Face also can sometimes hide behind the corner to jump scare you, but that only happened to me once. Alright the dislikes, now the biggest problem with the game is the sewer level itself, it just feels Labyrinthian as you can get very easily lost, especially how dark it is and trying to get everything done quickly until Cage Face starts to appear and you have to get enough distance in order to shoot at him. I also still really hate the fact that he can teleport especially as there were so many cramp corridors that you have to run from him and coupled with that annoying poison aspect, like I said if you don't beat the level in a certain amount of time you die of poison, that was such a pain in the ass especially as I was trying to get the last achievement. Also I hate the puzzles here as it's not only randomized it's also math puzzles, I hate math puzzles thankfully pausing the game works so I was able to beat the game and get the hardest achievement by pausing and using my phone as a calculator, but still it was really bad. so now that told you all that CAGE-FACE | Case 2: The Sewer is a really mixed bag of an atmospheric, horror game and a bit of a downgrade from the first game. Even though it does have a pretty good story, okayish gameplay and a still pretty good and spooky monster, I still have to give this a thumbs down, since how frustrating a lot of the bad stuff is. I don't know if we'll ever get a Cage Face 3 since it's been a while since the second game has come out, I would like to see a sequel or maybe even a remake, just remove that annoying teleporting aspect and poison gas nonsense.

This was another improved iteration of the game after the free Case One game. It expanded on the story a bit, added in a mechanic of shooting the monster to be delayed/stunned, changed up the environment and added more of an item-hunt mechanic to make the player explore. It did get a little frustrating at times, because I almost ran out of ammo and soft-locked my game by being near death, and the monster does constant low damage while chasing you; but that's more my fault for being terrible at the game. I would say I'm not sure $5 is a price that's right for a 1-1.5 hour long game but that's personal taste; my rule is about $1/hr of gameplay, so a $5 price tag for a hour long game is only justified by an incredibly unique mechanic or some top-tier writing. It had some more good writing, more lore; the game does a nice job of tying the overarching plot between the games together, and I'm very much left wanting a third installment.
