Lurch

Honest review I received this game for free, and currently I feel I cannot recommend it. Whilst I will say that it has good potential, there is much that needs changing. First of all the games idea is quite unique and interesting, and with a lot of fine tuning, the Devs are on to something. There are a bunch of good points, but lets be honest, most want to hear the "bad" points, so here goes... Its feels like the "demon" is lacking in the scare department, as in, its really not scary. Its nothing more than a "demon" running towards u which looks like it has a pp dangling between its legs instead of a tail, which then proceeds to stare at you (the demon, not the pp) more awkwardly than your old relative at a family wedding. At first you might be fooled in to thinking that this "demon" has a "tell" that its about to hunt, but you quickly realise that, in fact, it does not. The music that would normally insinuate a hunt seems to stop, making u think ur safe, there is silence, not even a murmur from ur heart, then BAM.... demon pp coming at you. It would also seem this "demon" is rather excited to hunt and doesnt want to give you a break, I think maybe he needs to sit down and relax a little and give a solo player at least a couple of mins to attempt a puzzle. There doesnt seem to be any hiding mechanic in the slightest, I broke LOS many times but yet he still hunted me down like a rabid wolverine chasing a bleeding deer. A recommendation I would HIGHLY give is please... for the love of all things demonic... DO NOT give a "tutorial aspect" in the actual game, especially when the "demon" hunts very often... No one wants to be stood in the open reading letters from angry bunnies trying to learn the game whilst exposing yourself to angry demon pp. Please, make a tutorial mode specifically to show how to play. EDIT - I would also like to include the rather distressing "ambient" sounds whilst traversing the garden to the ever so well known home, an asset used in soo many other games... no difference at all. None the less, you're in a garden yet there are sounds from what can only be described as a heavy industrial zone? Total loss of immersion for myself. I would instead recommend a low creepy whisper of windswept silence, make it more realistic rather than loud and abrasive. But all that said, if these things are "addressed" .. then I really do think this game has potential. They are "easy" fixes and really will give the game a much better chance of hitting its potential.

PROS: - A atmosfera do jogo e a iluminação são muito assustadoras | - Scary illumination and environment CONS: - Puzzles extremamente sem graça | - Puzzles way too easy - Entidade extremamente chata e bugada | - Annoying and bugged entity - Impossível fazer certos puzzles, pois o monstro fica parado/rodeando em volta | - It's impossible to solve some puzzles since the monster don't go away - Mapa pequeno | - Tiny map - As jumpscares passam de ser assustadoras para irritantes | The jumpscares get really annoying after a while

Pas de news donc petite review, Durée de jeu 2h00, boucle de gameplay 15min, rejouabilités 30min dommage ça aurait pu être sympa

Größter scheiß. Man spielt es auf "Einfach" weil man sich das anschauen will & ist innerhalb 1 Minute einfach tot, verstecken Funktioniert auch nicht. Es macht nicht mal Spaß, noch nie so ein Fehlkauf gemacht, einfach der größte Müll dieses Game, einfach nicht zu Empfehlen!!

Furchtbares Spiel. Die Bilder sehen vielversprechender aus, als das Spiel tatsächlich ist. Mein Kumpel und ich waren nicht mal kurz im Haus und hatten nicht mal die Möglichkeit uns irgendwie umzusehen. Da muss noch so Einiges dran gemacht werden, damit das Spiel spielbar und lustig ist. Haben es instant nach dem ersten Versuch ALT F4-ed und zurückgegeben. Holt's euch nicht Leute!
