Selene's Unbearable Night

A step up from [i]Unbearable[/i] in terms of overall gameplay; even if the maps are a lot more linear and the story feels largely even more abstract than in its predecessor, the combat does feel tighter, particularly with the added parry mechanic, and the cheevos for the hidden medallions, optimizing the boss runs and finding the secret ending do give it some replay value. ================================================== El gameplay en general es una mejoría a comparación con [i]Unbearable[/i]; aun cuando los mapas son mucho más lineares y la historia se siente bastante más abstracta incluso a comparación con su predecesor, las mecánicas de combate se sienten más firmes, en particular con la adición del bloqueo, y los logros de las medallas ocultas, optimizar los encuentros con los jefes y desentrañar el final secreto le dan algo de rejugabilidad.

Selene's Unbearable Night is an indie survival horror experience that clearly draws from classic genre traditions while attempting to modernize them through expanded combat options and narrative ambition. Developed and published by Farelas, the game places players in the role of Selene, a woman who awakens in a terrifying situation following her abduction, with little understanding of where she is or why she has been taken. What begins as a desperate attempt to escape quickly evolves into a deeper mystery, gradually revealing that the nightmare surrounding Selene is rooted in something far more disturbing than a simple crime. The game establishes its tone early through isolation, uncertainty, and a steady drip of unsettling revelations rather than immediate shock. The core gameplay loop revolves around exploration, puzzle solving, and survival-oriented decision making. Players navigate dimly lit environments filled with locked doors, hidden pathways, and environmental hazards that demand careful observation. Progression is often gated behind key items or logic-based puzzles, encouraging thorough exploration and attention to environmental storytelling. Rather than guiding the player directly, the game trusts them to piece together clues through notes, environmental details, and dialogue, reinforcing a sense of vulnerability and confusion that aligns well with the protagonist’s situation. This methodical pacing helps maintain tension, as every new area feels potentially dangerous and unpredictable. Combat in Selene’s Unbearable Night strikes a balance between empowerment and restraint. Unlike purely stealth-focused horror titles, the game allows players to engage enemies directly using both melee weapons and firearms, supplemented by mechanics such as dodging and parrying. These systems add a layer of skill-based interaction to encounters, allowing experienced players to handle threats more confidently while still punishing reckless behavior. Resources remain limited, however, ensuring that combat is never trivial and that avoidance is often the smarter option. While some encounters can feel rough around the edges, the overall design encourages players to adapt their approach based on available supplies and enemy behavior rather than relying on brute force alone. Narratively, the game unfolds through a combination of cutscenes, dialogue, and environmental clues, gradually expanding beyond Selene’s personal struggle to reveal a broader and more sinister context. The inclusion of a second playable character introduces an additional perspective, helping to flesh out the story and connect separate threads of the mystery. While the narrative follows familiar survival horror themes, it remains engaging through consistent pacing and a clear effort to build atmosphere and emotional weight. The story may not radically redefine the genre, but it succeeds in maintaining intrigue and giving players a reason to push forward despite the danger. Atmosphere is one of the game’s strongest elements. Environments are designed to feel oppressive and disorienting, using darkness, confined spaces, and unsettling sound design to keep players on edge. Subtle audio cues often signal danger before it becomes visible, encouraging cautious movement and heightening suspense. Visually, the game reflects its indie origins, with character models and animations that are functional rather than highly polished. While this can occasionally break immersion, the overall environmental design and lighting do much of the heavy lifting when it comes to sustaining tension. Technically, Selene’s Unbearable Night shows both ambition and limitation. Movement and combat can feel stiff at times, and occasional bugs or inconsistencies remind players that this is a small-scale production. That said, many of these issues are offset by the developer’s willingness to iterate and improve the experience through updates. The game’s scope is clearly defined, and within that scope it delivers a complete survival horror experience rather than a fragmented or unfinished one. Ultimately, Selene’s Unbearable Night is a passion-driven indie horror title that prioritizes atmosphere, classic survival mechanics, and narrative mystery over polish or spectacle. It is best suited for players who appreciate old-school survival horror design and are willing to tolerate some rough edges in exchange for tension, exploration, and a cohesive story. While it may not rival big-budget genre staples, it stands as a solid and earnest entry in the indie horror space, offering a grim and engaging journey that reflects both its inspirations and the developer’s commitment to delivering a full, unsettling experience. Rating: 7/10

Что ж .. это было весело.) даже очень. Супер дешовый, но в тоже время плавный веселый и кринжовый хорроро-боевик.) Играется плавно, приятно. (Что удивительно) По скидке, на вечер или два, если не понравился последний Реквием по Резаку.))))

Echte Trash Horror Game Perle mit massivem SOFT LOCK Potentzal. Steuerung, Grafik und dergleichen ist absoluter Trash, aber hey man erwartet auch nichts anderes für ein Trash Horror Game. Guter Trash Titel. Rätsel sind sehr gut gemacht, abwechslungsreich und vom Schwierigkeitsgrad her einfach. Story ist absoluter Trash Horror Müll. Shooter Gameplay passt auch ganz gut und der Schwierigkeitsgrad ist auch sehr gut. ABER und das bringt mich fast an den Daumen runter. SOFT LOCKS ohne Ende. Ich zum Beispiel bin in Kapitel 6 mit 25 Schuss Pistol, 20 Schuss Shotgun, 1 Pfeil, 30 Schuss Uzi. Ich muss aber 3 Laternen mit Pfeilen entzünden.... Ja, es sind keine Pfeile da. SOFT LOCK!! Es geht mit einem Neustart des Kapitels zwar weiter aber dann steht man mit 0 Munition da. Alles was man sich erspielt hat ist einfach weg. Weg. Ein Savegame laden? Ja, aber die letzte Uhr ist schon 30 Minuten her. Also auch das eher wertlos. Was das Game vor einem Daumen runter gerettet hat, ist einfach die Tatsache, dass man es dann auch nochmal von Null easy durchspielen kann. Trotzdem muss man sich vor dem Kauf bewusst sein, das ist schon ziemlich Müll was da an SOFT LOCKS geboten wird. Im Sale kann man zuschlagen, 12€ ist mit den ganzen SOFT LOCKS absolut nicht gerechtfertigt. Ist 5 € Wert im aktuellen Zustand.

An instant cult classic—literally! I absolutely loved this game. Think of it as a poor man’s Resident Evil, janky but with surprising features you wouldn’t expect from an indie title. Every minute was a joy to play. The save system is forgiving, and the story is intriguing. Enjoyed it from start to finish and never got bored.

вот нормальная игра! и загадки нормальные, не надо голову ломать, и сюжет, попа в джинсах вообще огонь! сравниваю с fobia hotel с ихними загадками что сам вассерман не разгадает!! претензия только что следкющую часть не руссифицировали!!!
