Night Book

The game is so bad that it's good. I refuse to believe the script wasn't written by an 8 year old. Acting is equal as amateuresque. To the developer's credit, I watched the FMV from start to finish and didn't even realize that it was already over so I clearly enjoyed it in a weird way.

Um dos piores FMV. Fraco na pegada da história e interpretação dos personagens, a principal parece que fez sob ameaça de arma. E apenas 1 final é ok, o resto é muamba do crack. Não se sustenta personagem ser tradutora e estar enrolada em meio a aprender e já exercer função. As partes de terror mesmo, fica com uns lapsos e tela tremendo do pai dela sofrendo ataque de má vontade de atuar. Comprei pelo ENEBA e paguei R$4,89. Um preço ok Legendas em portugues, conquistas acessíveis e cartinhas steam. Nota 5/10

Неплохая киношка на вечер, короткая, но с множеством разных концовок и вариантов выбора. Особенно если брать по скидке. Однако, игра подло обманула меня описанием. Она вообще не про демонов, к сожалению, а про озлобленных островных духов, на священную рощу которых покушаются вездесущие людишки, и наша героиня случайно призывает их к себе в дом, прочитав отрывок из запретной книги папуасов. Ситуация осложняется тем, что она беременна, и держит в своем доме сумасшедшего отца, которому место по хорошему в психушке, в палате для особо буйных. А ее муж возглавляет тот самый проект строительства на острове, против которого духи бунтуют. Они используют героиню в своих целях, а она старается выжить и уберечь своих близких от неприятностей. Как же разрулить эту непростую ситуацию? Решать вам, но духи все равно так просто не отстанут, мне за два часа ни одной хорошей концовки не досталось. Минусы - неточный русский перевод, из-за чего можно ошибиться с некоторыми выборами. И то, что она наврала мне про демонов, а подсунула древесных островных духов. В плане хоррора тоже достаточно слабо, но увлечь и удерживать внимание на протяжении всего сюжета ей вполне удается, за что заслуживает моей рекомендации.

It could have been good, but it isn't. Compared to the FMV games I've played so far, this is the weakest one yet. It's a shame that so much potential has been wasted, because the idea is pretty good—and by idea, I mean the webcam scenario as an “observer.” The plot itself is terrible—if you're going to curse, do it right. Everything seems very unnatural and unbelievable. The main actress isn't bad, but the others are annoying. Really annoying. Especially the husband or this Max guy. It took me about 56 minutes to complete my first playthrough before the curse struck me. Suddenly it ended. Compared to other similar games, I have no motivation to play this one again to see the other endings and get the achievements. It has been proven many times that Wales Interactive can develope good FMV games – the best examples are Dead Reset (incredibly good and must-have) or The Complex (very good actors and well produced) or Bloodshore (somehow funny and entertaining) . I wouldn't feel comfortable giving thies game a positive review. I just didn't enjoy it because somehow nothing about it feels right. I bought this game as part of a bundle and it only cost me about €1.70, it's not a big loss.

[h1]🧧 NEGATIVE STEAM REVIEW – Malaysian Aunty Style (Mangles Edition) 🧧 Game: Night Book[/h1] [b]Aiyo… this one ah… I thought horror game. End up… Zoom meeting simulator kena haunted. [h2]💻 FIRST IMPRESSION:[/h2] You open game, wah laptop screen only. Whole game is you watching one woman sit in front of computer like she doing Grab customer service night shift. I thought horror… but feels like overtime job with demon included free. [h2]🎮 GAMEPLAY (or lack of…):[/h2] This one say “interactive” ah. But actually… You click choice once every few minutes like replying WhatsApp. And even then, the choice like: - Be scared - Be slightly more scared Walao… binary choice until I feel like exam MCQ question. Critics also say the interactivity very weak and frustrating, like just for show only [h2]👻 HORROR:[/h2] Scary ah? Auntie answer honestly: No. The horror tropes all recycled like yesterday fried rice. - creepy video call - weird chanting - sudden loud noise Everything already overused until can predict faster than weather forecast. Even reviewers say the game rely on “tired horror tropes” and not thrilling at all [h2]🎭 ACTING:[/h2] Okay lah… some acting decent. But sometimes… feel like low budget drama from Astro at 3AM. Some scenes serious… but come out funny. Got one moment I laugh instead of scared. [h2]📖 STORY:[/h2] Story got potential — ancient book, demon, cursed reading… Sounds solid right? But execution ah… ike cook maggi but forget seasoning. Very predictable, very draggy, then suddenly end. Critics also say story is “paint-by-numbers” and nothing special [h2]⏱ LENGTH:[/h2] Finish one playthrough: less than 1 hour. Aiyo… I boil egg also longer. Yes got multiple endings… but difference so small like kopi ais vs kopi kurang ais. Even reviews say replay endings feel repetitive and not worth it [h2]🧠 EXPERIENCE:[/h2] Playing this game feels like: You join family Zoom call, internet lag, aunties shouting, someone say ghost story… then suddenly meeting end. That’s it. [h2]👍 PROS (Auntie trying to be kind):[/h2] ✔ Unique FMV concept ✔ Can play casually (no brain needed) ✔ Short (thankfully) [h2]👎 CONS (Auntie full complain mode):[/h2] ✖ Not really a game, more like YouTube video ✖ Choices useless like expired Tesco voucher ✖ Horror not scary, just cliché ✖ Story predictable ✖ Replay value fake one [h2]🧧 FINAL VERDICT:[/h2] Aiyo… this one ah… Not terrible until cannot play… but also not good until worth your time. It’s like: You order horror… get webinar. [h2]⭐ Auntie Rating:[/h2] 4.5 / 10 — “Can watch… but why not just watch Netflix?” If discount RM5 okay lah… play with friends, laugh at it. But if you expecting real horror + meaningful choice… [b]Auntie say: close laptop, go sleep better.[/b]

Night Book, interaktif film (FMV) tarzını sevenler için farklı bir deneyim sunuyor. ✅ İyi Yanları: Atmosfer ve gerilim hissi oldukça başarılı. Tek mekânda geçmesine rağmen ses tasarımı ve oyunculuklar sayesinde sürekli bir tedirginlik yaratıyor. Seçimlerin hikâyeyi etkilemesi, oyunu sadece izlemekten çıkarıp daha etkileşimli hâle getiriyor. ❌ Kötü Yanları: Oynanış neredeyse tamamen seçim yapmaktan ibaret olduğu için klasik oyun hissi arayanlar için yetersiz kalabilir. Hikâye bazı noktalarda yavaş ilerliyor ve tekrar oynanabilirlik bir süre sonra düşebiliyor. 🎯 Genel Değerlendirme: Kısa süreli, gerilim dolu bir interaktif film deneyimi arayanlar için denenebilir. Ancak daha fazla oynanış ve derinlik bekleyenler için sınırlı kalabilir.

整体很平淡，甚至可以说有些无聊。除了演员演技可圈可点之外，并无太多亮点。 作为一款恐怖题材的影游，本作采用摄像头视角来增加代入感。但可惜惊吓方式太过低级无趣，全靠一惊一乍的音效和不明所以的马赛克雪花屏。老实说，你还不如整点跳脸的Jump Scare，起码能吓到人。我建议本作导演可以去看一部叫《鬼影实录》的电影，同样是摄像头视角，学学人家是怎么营造恐怖氛围的。 剧情更是槽点满满：一位刚认识不到五分钟的商人，居然会因为一段传说，豪掷20W英镑帮助女主摆脱诅咒。该说是他傻呢，还是女主魅力大呢？还有一位同样遭受诅咒但已摆脱的人，前一秒还说自己不会帮助女主，下一秒就把摆脱诅咒的方法告诉了她，整的跟人格分裂似的，看得我一脸懵。 我不知道是剪辑的问题还是剧本本就如此，这种“前言不搭后语”的割裂感，对于一款影游来说无疑是致命的。

There's this old man who acted his heart out i couldn't stop laughing. it was unintentionally funny all the casts member acted sitting down on a desk most of the time.
