Idols of Ash

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 3[/h1] You can view my VR mod gameplay & commentary here: https://youtu.be/x9bD5VWyngE So you think this game is scary huh? Try playing it in VR. It's absolutely terrifying and nerve-racking to have to make these death defying fast descents as you're being chased by a giant bug. I hope you're not scared of heights or bugs. Honestly, this game has simple actions, but they work great in VR. You have the high tension of being chased by a the centipede of your nightmares while trying to find any way out. It gives taking a leap of faith a new meaning in VR. Also, it's only $3 and the mod is super easy to install. Highly recommend. [quote]I bought this game!

[h1] This was fantastic, especially for the price. [/h1] The game revolves around a single core mechanic, and it's genuinely fun to play around with. The environments are great, and while the bug that's constantly crawling after you doesn't actually look that scary, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ does it build tension. It constantly pushes you into panicking, taking risks, and making stupid mistakes. The sound design is excellent, too. The main campaign is pretty short, but the game also includes an alternate (and much more challenging) map, plus upside-down versions of both the main and alternate maps. And damn, I can't remember the last time a game made me focus this hard. It's such an awesome feeling. You start off carefully lowering yourself down with your hook, and a couple of hours later you're basically Tarzan - leaping off huge heights, catching yourself mid-air with the hook, pulling off ridiculous acrobatics... and smashing face-first into every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wall along the way. There's a small story too, but it's mostly there just to tick the box. Still, it does a good job of setting the mood.

Holy ♥♥♥♥ this was intense. I didn't know anything about this going into it other than it was a climbing horror game. Made my first encounter with the centipede extremely memorable. Up until I saw it I was just slowly rappelling down ledges and looking for safe ways to progress until my slow, deliberate, methodical progression turned into desperate scrambles and leaps of faith off of ledges to escape the hissing right behind me. I had an amazing moment towards the end where I was getting close to the bottom but I had missed probably 2 or 3 checkpoints trying to evade the centipede, so it was all or nothing. I couldn't find a way down and it was approaching fast. I hooked my rope around a small outcrop and jumped right before it got me, only to realize I was now hanging hundreds of feet above ground with nowhere to go, and the centipede was right above me, crawling around the outcrop I had hooked myself on; stalking me, waiting. My only options were to climb back up, somehow dodge the centipede, and sprint down a ledge that I realized all too late is where I should have gone, or fall down the giant chasm and pray my rope catches something. I tried to choose the former. I climbed back up, heard the centipede loudly hiss in my ear, ran, jumped, and I fell. I thought that was it. I desperately threw my rope out as I plummeted, and right before I hit the ground, my rope snagged something and I slammed into a wall with a sliver of health left. I rappelled down the final stretch and jumped into the final hole right before it got me. Writing it out feels like writing a script for a movie or something, but it really just happened like that. Genuine unscripted moments like that in games are what I live for, and the sprawling megastructure, simple but intuitive and well designed climbing mechanics, and a deadly monster made this game perfect for that sort of thing. I don't know how I beat this in 35 minutes, but it was the most intense 35 minutes of gaming I've had in awhile. I'll probably attempt the nightmare mode soon. Play this game.

lovely gamu, zero negative opinions def try def try

Idols of Ash is the definition of short and sweet. An indie horror game that centers around a singular game mechanic, that being a grapple hook that you use to decend a large ancient structure. Everything about the game is incredibly atmospheric and whilst it's over in less than hour (unless you are chasing achievements) it leave a lasting impression that'll stick with you long after you finish it. Cheap, scary and fun. Idols of Ash is another shining example of perfecting a formula but also not overstaying it's welcome. For the price of a gregs corned beef pasty it offers double the fun and the same amount of scares.

короткая как мой писюн

Крутой хоррор-платформер, дающий отличный буст адреналина. Игра коротенькая, я за полтора часа прошёл базовый режим и "Кошмар" (с усложнениями). Мне этого хватило, получил от игры то, что ждал. Но для тех, кто захочет поиграть подольше, есть доп.карты и доп.режимы игры Советую, особенно за такую скромную цену. Стоит даже попробовать как просто эскпериментальный опыт, чтобы разнообразить свою игровую жизнь.

IT CUTS THE ROPE!
