Withered Haven

UHH I LIKE BORITOS MORE THAN TACOS. Overall not bad for the game itself, nsfw model is in game but no genitalia visible. not bad for the price and has multiple endings. a little convoluted but it ok

Withered Haven! One of my first Demos completed on my Youtube channel, so it has a big of... nostalgia? Withered Haven is a game where you play a man who arrived home one day to find his wife and child missing, and he has to navigate life not knowing what happened to them. Needless to say, he isn't doing very well, especially when he harbors guilt for spending so much time in the office. About the game itself, I'll list off the positives and negatives. Negatives: - I don't feel like the character models of the wife and kid fit the setting. Perhaps more of a cartoonish/anime style of graphics? - The story went by a bit too fast. You were in the office, then home, then office, then on the way to your car, then forest. Just felt like the game went by really quickly rather than slowing down and being a slow burn. - I'd like to know more about the motivation behind the wife's actions, and the throwback areas where you're in the house together don't really explain that much. Positives: - Even though I felt the character models didn't fit the graphics of the game, they were models that aren't used in every single indie horror you play, ever. That gives this a uniqueness that a lot of games are lacking. - The story is interesting. (SPOILERS) A story where a mans family goes missing and he has to navigate figuring out what to do without them, then finds out that his wife completed a demonic ritual to keep herself alive longer isn't a typical indie horror story. I was curious to learn more about where she figured out how to do this and what lead up to it. - The story left me wanting to know more in general, and wondering if there will be a second that possibly explains the origin of this demon ritual thing and how she could have gotten her hands on it, or at least have another family where it explains all that. - Creepy child stalking you is creepy. - Hot goth wife is hot? Thank you to the devs! I leave reviews that are always honest and sincere, regardless of free keys or not.
