Rise of Insanity

absolute cinema !! blurred the line between determination and obstinacy. love love love the graphics and story progression as well.

Rise of Insanity starts off well. It is even kind of unnerving in the beginning. Until you realize it is just a walking sim with predictable jump scares where nothing can hurt you unless you intentionally walk into very clearly telegraphed kill fields. Visually, the game has a clean aesthetic that works, but I wish it would not alternate pitch black areas with blinding white spotlights. So called puzzles are basically the player finding an item required to proceed in very small enclosed environments, usually limited to two or three rooms. But the real letdown is the story. What makes or breaks a walking simulator is the story and unfortunately Rise of Insanity's is really dumb. I can't really elaborate without spoiling the whole thing, but let's just say there is a somewhat predictable plot twist that makes the entire construct nonsensical because as it turns out the wife knew about it beforehand. So basically, the entire story that the game spent two hours constructing gets obliterated in one weird detail that should have just been omitted. And yes, it only takes around two to three hours to beat, including combing each area for collectibles. Honestly, this feels more like a free Prologue to something better than a finished game.

Atmosphärischer Psycho-Horror-Walking-Sim. Das Spiel hat ein paar Rätselchen. Tatsächliche Gefahrensituationen, wo man sterben kann, gibt es nicht. Grafik geht klar. Zu VR kann ich nichts sagen. Durch seine Kürze ein ideales Game für einen ungemütlichen Herbstabend.

Short interesting game with light puzzles and some jumpscares it is worth it on sale if you are looking for something to kill time or short horror

nice game! pretty short even if you try to unlock every achievement (would say around 2 hours, took me little less than that). i like the graphics, it looks good and has really good lightning. good little details. only downside to me is that the story is overall predictable, therefore it makes the tension in the plot less interesting. would still give it a solid 7/10 i think, it's a nice experience into someone's troubled mind and the scary job was well done. not everything has to be deeply unpredictable to be enjoyable

in one word: unimpressed. this game bombards the player with the cheapest, stupidest, opposite-to-scary jumpscares which makes it so boring. it tries so desperately to scare you, at one point I thought about gasping (if anything) just to make it feel a bit better for its efforts. but gosh just think... if you make a game where EVERYTHING is 'scary', nothing is. as expected, the woman is reduced to being a male's wife, a male's mother, a murder victim (in the hands of a male). the full combo. I don't know what the hell the point of the fortune teller is. Would the term 'toxic father-son relation' would really be used in the 70s? Yet another story of a man murdering his family and painting him as the victim of something greater. If you don't see the twist coming, you were either paying no attention or you were gaslighting yourself. The trial scene makes absolutely no sense when you know the nature of Edward. Hell, it doesn't make sense that Edward's last name is an FBI-protected secret. Final note: I'm so tired of males using horrible mental illneses for their cheap 'horror' stories, especially using them as a vehicle of male violence against women. y'all have been murdering women since the dawn of time and never needed an excuse other than to lie to yourselves and keep believing you're heroes when you are the reason the world is on fire.

7/10
