Helltown

I do really like this game, you can see I got 100% in it. It is a VERY short game and as much as I like it, I wouldn't say it is worth $10. I would wait for this game to go on sale.

I really love the setting, atmosphere, and story of Helltown. The town itself is beautiful and the retro graphics give the game a really unique look. I have played both the original and the revival, and both have pros and cons. For instance, in the original version, the danger seems to be a little less immediate and story details are more ambiguous. In the revival, one of the first people I talked to on day 1 mentioned Lillith, which makes it more evident that there is a cult/something weird happening in Little Vale. I liked the improvements in the revival and how certain sections and enemies were made easier to deal with (ex.: the part where you find the keys in the graveyard). There were some changes that left me a little confused. Where did the homeless man's dog go on the 2nd day? Also, the original version's dog ending was one of my favorite video game endings ever, so I was sad that it was not in the revival. I'm not sure which version of Helltown I like more, but I definitely had a good time playing and recommend both versions. I can see there is something special about this game, and would love to see more stuff like it. I actually think that Helltown would make a very good horror movie too!

cool freaky little horror game

Really enjoyed the style of this game. It's a blend of soothing nostalgia and unsettling horror. The soundtrack is great, the mechanics and exploration are simple but satisfying, and the world left me wanting more. You can play it in an afternoon, but there's multiple endings worth pursuing. The game doesn't hold you by the hand, which I appreciated. My only hang up is the inability to save the game. It operates on an auto-save system, so if you to explore a different choice or ending, you have to start the whole game over, but it doesn't take too long to catch back up once you know what you're doing. I did prefer the original design of the Giant, though. All in all, I enjoyed it and would really like to see more games in this vein and style.

just not worth its price. better as a free-ware game on itch.io.

Neutral review It's great in aesthetic but if you plan on going for all endings it's strong when it comes to repetition and not really in a way where you notice much more each time so at some point it's like sure a different ending but doing all the stuff between over and over with no real shortcuts between it all? Not so pleasant, I gave this game patience but eventually I just lost the desire to try 100 % this despite wanting to push through it
