THE MUTE HOUSE

[h1]かなり怖いです[/h1] ラジコン操作のバイオなハザードなゲームです。 知り合いが行方不明になった洋館が舞台になっています。 ゲームは、行方不明になる前日譚からスタートします。 マップ無し、各所にある倉庫はつながっていません。 初期は、ハンドガンで近接はありません。（そもそも無い？） 固定視点のラジコン操作なので、操作には慣れが必要です。 初代を非常にリスペクトしたゲームで、背景や調度品の作りこみも 綺麗で良いゲームだと思いますが、ギミックがちょっと難しいのが 気になりました。 FURY（HARD）MODEでは、敵の数も多くなり弾薬が絶妙に厳しく 他にも制約が入ったので、これがノーマルでも良いと感じました。 次作（続編では無い？）も、開発中らしいのでそちらも期待したいです。

Si te gustaron los primeros Resident Evil clasicos, este titulo encaja perfecto con esa jugabilidad, The Mute House reune todas las caracteristicas de un survival horror de la vieja escuela y es uno de los pocos que podria emular esa epoca con graficos modernos, aunque ciertas cosas como su combate o interaccion sean medio clunky, en regla general es un juego bastante disfrutable. Siendo un fan acérrimo de este hermoso género, todo juego parecido a un Resident Evil me resulta una gozada, aunque no todo sea perfecto, hay juegos como éste, que no les tenia mucha expectativa y me terminaron gustando en el proceso. Lo recomiendo ampliamente sobre todo si lo tuyo son los survival horror old school clasicos como RE 1, 2 Y 3 originales, que tengan por ejemplo: camaras fijas, controles tipo tanque, movilidad e inventario limitado, diseño minimalista, puzzles de la epoca, etc. Nota: 7/10

Si les premières minutes de jeux peuvent tromper, il ne faut pas s'attendre à un "Resident Evil Indé". Très rapidement, le gameplay montre ses limites. Les environnements se répètent. Les boucles de jeux deviennent insupportables. Les morts gratuites se cumulent. Les aller-retours relous (pas comme dans RE) se répètent (notamment parce qu'il y a des coffres uniques, et non reliés). Et que dire de la fin ? Une honte. Evitez ce jeu.

Some spoilers. I absolutely loved this game at first and I still love some things about it, but it was too frustrating for no reason. The graphics, horror elements, map design, and sound design are all pretty great, although at one point you get completely cut off from one of the safe rooms that may have all your stuff in storage because... ♥♥♥♥ you. The camera angles especially are maybe the best I've ever seen, at least as good as any Resident Evil. There are some AI paintings, but honestly I didn't think it was too much to be noticeable or detract from the actual paintings or map design. It's used a tasteful amount. The story, voice acting, and notes are... serviceable. They're fine. The writing isn't crazy and there's some typos (even the shotgun description, for God's sake), but it works. The ending is meh. The puzzles are hit or miss. The tarot card seemed really interesting, but the note that hints how to solve it you CANNOT GO BACK TO because once you start the puzzle you're stuck in the screen until you solve it. I had to look up a solution. There's some stretches with no plausible saving, and then you can die on a puzzle and lose a half hour of progress. Because, again, ♥♥♥♥ you. I like the idea of writing down solutions or clues irl, or storage being per storage room, or no checkpoints, or restricted inventory, etc, but it crosses a few too many lines that just feel like bad QoL and make the whole thing a chore and artificially extend the playtime. No map seems fine (you have to learn the layout wow!) but I have a life and didn't play this nonstop. Taking a week off then resuming it and having to relearn what the heck is going on was annoying. I like the laser sight aiming, and the combat overall is okay, but the boss fights SUCK. The first one is literally just an ammo check with no mechanics. Dump enough bullets into it while it walks in a straight line towards you, and if it touches you, you die. That's it. The second one tries more, with an arena and some traps (with no tell of when they're gonna go off), and it's just a game of run in circles while you ammo check it. I ran out of ammo and had to try and lure it into traps for another 5 minutes. Not great, but whatever. The third boss fight I got trapped in a dead end, dumped my entire shotgun into him to try and get a stun or something where I could run past him, but he didn't stagger and there wasn't even enough room to squeeze by him. Instakilled. Fun. Final boss fight? You guessed it. Ammo check while he walks towards you. If he reaches you, you die. All the bosses instakill you, and so do some other enemies. Enemies start spawning that aren't worth the ammo to kill, but you also cannot physically get past them without getting hit. The blind enemies make things interesting, but otherwise your enemies variety is Zombie, Zombie With More Health, Zombie Boss That Instakills You. I appreciate the shot at a "classic survival horror experience", but it was just annoying. Some of these things could've been fixed after the launch (add a hallway to get rid of dead ends in boss fights, casual mode with a map and shared storage, allow players to exit a puzzle and come back, etc,etc,etc) but it's been out for a year plus, and the dev doesn't really seem to care about improving it. You get what you get. I'm still interested in seeing more from this guy and maybe get this one on a good sale, but man, this missed the mark. Or maybe I'm just getting old and don't have the patience anymore.

Ich habe **The Mute House** zuerst bei **Brugaar als Let’s Play** gesehen. So ungefähr 30 Minuten lang. Dann hat mein Gehirn plötzlich geschrien: 🧠 *„ABBRUCH! SPOILER! SPOILER ÜBERALL!“* Also Video aus, Steam an, Spiel gekauft. Finanziell fragwürdig, emotional absolut richtig. Erster kleiner Schock: **Keine deutsche Übersetzung.** Und ja… ich bin dieser Mensch. Der Typ, der sagt: 👉 *„Also ohne deutsche Texte kann ich mich nicht richtig IMMERSEN!!!1!“* Steinigt mich bitte geordnet, ich stelle mich hinten an. 🪨 ABER siehe da: Nach kurzer innerer Panik und leichtem Googeln funktioniert Englisch plötzlich doch. Ich habe ganze Sätze verstanden. Mama wäre stolz. Zum Spiel selbst: **Atmosphäre? 10/10** **Feste Kamerawinkel? Chef’s Kiss 👌** **Grafik? Hübscher als meine Zukunftspläne** Das komplette Spiel schreit **Resident Evil alte Schule** – aber nicht so „billig von Wish bestellt“, sondern eher so: *„Resi, aber mit Respekt und Können.“* Die Rätsel sind spannend, clever und bringen einen genau auf das richtige Maß zwischen 🤔 *„Oh cool!“* und 😡 *„WARUM BIN ICH SO DUMM?!“* Das Gegnerdesign ist herrlich unangenehm. Genau diese Sorte „Ich mag das nicht, bitte mehr davon“. Kurzfassung für Lesefaule: 👉 **Seid ihr Fans von klassischem Resident Evil?** Dann hört auf zu lesen. Wirklich. Warum lest ihr noch? **KAUFEN. SPIELEN. LEIDEN. FREUEN.** Viel Spaß. 😈 **PS:** Die paar Euro tun nicht weh. Ihr habt schon Geld für sehr viel dümmere Sachen ausgegeben. Wir wissen beide, dass das stimmt. 😉

It was a generally fun old school Resident Evil like game. Only gripes are, A: Stash in safe rooms isn't linked, you gotta run stuff around the map. and B: Last boss is a one shot and the run back is lame. Other than that it was fun. Worth a playthrough. Took me about 5 hours to beat, my Steam record didn't record my playtime properly so ignore my time played.

This game is a great reminiscent of original Resident Evil games (1, 2, 3... the 90's). fixed camera angles, inventory management, classic survival horror and somewhat a very engaging story. The amount of love and work went into making this game is so obvious, but it is also quite clear that the dev team was a very a small one. Puzzles are very good, game is quite scary and has a lot of jump scares. game is give or take about 6 hours long. 8/10 i would be happier if the game had a map. but my biggest problem is the controls... they are bad and laggy. as a matter of fact they are so bad i had to use mouse and keyboard for the last boss. apart from that, it is a solid game! cannot wait for the sequel. Well done guys!!

I tried REALLY hard to enjoy the campy indie vibe, but there's just so much rushed and poorly thought out in this game, that it's hard to find the replay value.
