Tunnels of Despair

a quite adequate survival game for this low price! still... it has it's own serious problems :D not a suprise it has mixed reviews :) for a start: it's not really a horror game, because after about 10 minutes you will forget everything about creepy darkness, zombies, flashlight, stealth etc. and instead you will run constantly from - no, not zombies, monsters or ghosts... but hunger. in short, that's all the game is about. unless you find the gas mask first (you won't) as it helps a lot with hunger you know... well, you will understand :D my main gameplay issues: 1) the game is short, so it was made random! i mean, your success is totally random... every critical item can spawn in a random place... so you will run through all the halls and rooms like crazy to find everything you need before you die of hunger. it's pure luck it seems. 2) you can't finish the game, if you miss any of the notes. you must gather ALL of them but actually you wouldn't need any (or one) to escape. again, the game is short, so you better love notes. kinda stupid if you ask me, but... 3) imho the hunger system is what really kills this game's fun... slowly (or fastly, depends on your luck) you will get hungry so you are forced to progress, yeah yeah i get it. so, if the "hunger-fog" comes, you must either have a gas mask ready or get in the safe room with the bed fast or have a sh*tload of food with you. easy? nooope. the gas mask can be found only later in the game, sleeping increases hunger by a lot, and there aren't enough food around anyway. so what you actually need is: the gas mask, and fast. oh did i say it's random? 4) and finally, the stealth part... it could be some much fun to sneak around in these halls... but it's ruined completly by the hunger too =( trying to sneak around is almost pointless and a huge waste of time in this game. you really shouldn't do that... and what about the zombies attracted by your flashlight? oh forget about them, just keep it on. the batteries are forever... yeah... so as i said, it has issues. but it's fairly cheap, has quite nice graphics, and a good ominous atmosphere... maybe it only needs some tweaks here and there to support other kind if gameplay stlyes and it would be much better...

Никогда не думала, что скажу это, но рандом убивает, причём очень быстро и беспощадно в прямом смысле этого слова, самое опасное, что в принципе есть в этой игре, это рандом, ну и как бы больше опасностей никаких нет.

A decent game it must be said. There's a good 4-5 hours of gameplay here as you piece together what you need to do to escape. As you explore there's batteries/gears/passwords that must be collected for respective generators to power up/doors to unlock/computer to login to, which helps unlock more of the area. There's no real combat in the game. There's 3 types of enemy: a harmless shambling zombie who is easily maneuvered around, and a handful of speedy zombies which provide the main threat. And then a third surprise monster which I will not spoil as it appears at the very end. The only time you'll swing your crowbar is if a shambling zombie is blocking a stairwell. The game curtails your ability to save and introduces a hunger/thirst meter which ensures you keep moving constantly and really helps build that sense of tension. As you go round the sizable sprawling level you'll find food and water sources to keep you going. While initially the game is slightly creepy and scary this wanes as the game goes on and repetition sets in. However that tension that is built in keeps you invested and determined to puzzle out how to escape. Recommended to tide a solid evening.

мне понравиласЬ, классная

这个游戏我终于通关了。首先没有bug，你必须收集所有的物品和纸条才能通关，其次根据你拿到的物品可以选择通关方式，还有就是别睡觉，非常来毒气的时候你没有防毒面具。

I REALLY wanted to like this game but there is just no redeeming qualities. More hit detection and as much as you want to....there's just no ignoring the poor quality overall :/
