Devil in the Pines

𖤐𖤐 This is a very simple little indie horror in which you roam a wooded area with a crossbow in search of a key that randomly spawns on the ground somewhere. The goal is to avoid being killed by the 2 different types of enemies that can spawn, find the key and run back to the mineshaft it opens for the final little sequence. You can also find matches to start protective fires, medkits to heal yourself and batteries for your flashlight. Very short game with not a lot going on but I tend to enjoy these sort of "homemade" feeling indie titles and for less than $5 I can't really complain. I played it on all 3 difficulties and each run took me about 15-20 minutes. The different difficulties honestly didn't seem that much different. I wouldn't say it's a scary game but it does make you feel sort of on edge and nervous the whole time due to the fact that if you do get caught off guard by something and killed, you need to start your search all over again. That being said the scariest thing in the game is not the demons but rather the bear traps. Made me jump every time.

Used to watch Yt'ers play this back in the day and replaying it made me realize its enjoyable, only downside is its length too short tbh.

First impressions, the only real machanic it explains doesn't work at all. "Safe place - protects from demons!" then dies because i was standing near what it says is a safe place. The fire was placed a couple secconds before the arm even spawned it. It trapped me, i got free. then got killed by a different demon. this was my 2nd run. Also the 'run' thing as i didn't actually stop running. accendently turned my mouse to the side and when i turned it back i died. This was the first run. I was gifted this, and this feels like one of those quick idea demos. Not a game at all. I feel bad that a friend decided i should try this game and bought me it. Appolageze for bad spelling, steam doesn't allow the auto fixing of text. I just suck at spelling.

fun game but things pop out way to often when you have limited supplies

For just a few dollars, this is a pretty scary game. I recorded all 3 levels of difficulty cause why not, and there are some pretty interesting mechanics and scare tactics and the harder levels have added encounters it seems. It's very interesting and worth a look at. As far as replayability is concerned, I'm never going to touch it again since I've beaten all 3 modes, but I am still glad I checked it out to begin with. It's sort of more of a one off game, or if you do all 3 levels, a 3 off. Overall, it's decent.

Pretty neat, this should have more recognition.
