The Pale Mimic

Nice Dog. Nice eerie atmosphere..... And thats it. Should be called Groundhog Day. Was hoping that if I waded through to the end I would atleast get an explanation of .. well .. anything. But nope. Like most reviews , I agree the game could have been so much more , As it is it just totally falls flat on its face.

Really enjoyed this little game. Plenty of tension and a dog to keep you company, what more can you ask for?

It's an okay narrative experience if it's on sale at least. There is an interesting narrative here and it kept me invested at least for an hour or so. It's not a good game however. It's extremely linear, to the point of almost being on rails. This removes any real agency or gameplay. The creature could have maybe made sounds and you had to ready for it's attack, but there were other sounds as well and you had to choose and defend against what sounded real by some kind of minor tell or something, or you could have had multiple objectives when going out not just one so you had to choose paths, some possible decision making of any kind really is what it lacks. It's also mostly just holding W and pressing the interact key every once in a while for the most part, half the run time is because of that the actual game if you didn't have to walk so far sometimes would probably be like 20 - 30 minutes at most if that. So yeah, if it's on sale or something, it's still a worthwhile experience for what it is.

Fun game! About 2-3 hours of gameplay. The game takes place in Southcentral Alaska; which means that given the mountainous setting it's got to be in the Chugach range outside of Anchorage. Being born and raised from a family that's been up here for 200 or so years, I won't lie and will admit I got a good laugh out of seeing or hearing about deer, mountain lions, and ticks being up here... [u]None[/u] of which are up here, and especially not in Southcentral. We [i]do[/i] have the other three, though. Game seem like it chugged in the last couple moments for me, but not terribly so. I had a fun time with it, and could recommend. [b]YOU CAN PET THE DOG![/b]

5.5/10 in general 6.5/10 in horror Great indie horror game, if you like short story driven horror with a thriller mystery esque cryptid element this is perfect. It's not the best game or scariest but if you're having that itch this game succeeds in fulfilling it. The gameplay can get repetitive but its used to drive the story forward in a good way. It's cheap and short so might as well give it a try if you're debating on it.

The graphics were incredible and super pretty! Had some pretty good jump scares as well and I love that we can pet Rocky lol
