The Shore

Pretty neat walking sim. The atmosphere is delicious, they really nailed it. There's some "combat" parts that are a bit confusing, and maybe even frustrating. However the majority is really cool and simple puzzles. Worth it when it's on sale for sure.

[h3]Two different games under one trench coat. First half of the game is a creepy, unsettling walking sim on a shore. The second half is a literal lovecraftian nightmare with escape horror scenes and shooting.[/h3] This game is very 50/50. It can't decide what it wants to be. The 3D art is absolutely fantastic and gorgeous, the scenes, the models the environments are excellently crafted. But the voice acting is mostly bad, the audio is awkward and the transitions from one score to the next are really grating, which detracts from the atmospheric experience. The story is not that strong either, and very predictable, I have seen this trope a dozen times... The puzzles are mostly creatively bankrupt, many seem to serve the purpose of padding the playtime out. The shooting mechanic with the artifact and the escape scenes get old real fast. Some respawn points are ridiculous, and the game crashed my PC at one point. As an art showcase, this was very nice. As a game, it doesn't work well. The takeaway: Ares is a very talented 3D artist, but he is mediocre at best in general game/puzzle design. Keep making atmospheric walking sims like Necrophosis, thats where your strengths are.

Great short Lovecraft game. Mostly a walking-simulator, but a very nice one.

The first half of the game was easily the strongest part for me. It barely needed to do anything to make me uncomfortable. The atmosphere, the environments and just walking around trying to figure out what was going on were creepy enough on their own. I really enjoyed that part. Unfortunately, it started to lose me later on. If you’re going for this kind of slow, atmospheric walking-simulator style of horror, I honestly think you’re better off sticking to that. Once the game starts introducing more action, it just doesn’t feel nearly as strong as the exploration and atmosphere that came before it. I also wasn’t a huge fan of how Cthulhu was portrayed here. Hard to explain without getting into spoilers, but it just didn’t really work for me. That being said, I still think it’s worth experiencing if you can get it cheap. The environments are great and the first half especially has some genuinely creepy moments. I just wish it had trusted its atmosphere all the way through instead of trying to become something else. Recommended on sale.

This one is... odd. I feel stuck between Steam's binary rating system because the idea in the first third of the game is what drew me to it, turn Dagon by H.P. Lovecraft into a mysterious walking sim. Great! Then it kinda runs away from that idea until we're playing H.P. Lovecraft's Outlast. So on average, I wouldn't recommend this game unless you get it on sale. Its a good effort by a small dev but it loses sight of its core premise too quickly for me to endorse it fully.
