Black River

RPG Maker strikes again! Black River is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer. The point can be made that the intention of RPG Maker is to make demos and small games to pass around friends, and shouldn't be used for "professional" game development. This time Andorlea/Warfare/SimProse/whatever other shell account this guy uses to try hide his identity has once more stamped out a painfully generic copy + paste RPG Maker asset flip. There's a lame "horror" theme tacked onto this one, but it makes no difference really, the "developer" here just dumps these out every couple of weeks with slightly different RPG Maker st…

Black River is a compact, narrative-driven horror RPG that leans more on atmosphere and unease than on mechanical complexity or innovation. Developed and published by Thorne Games, it places players in the role of Leah, a young woman who finds herself trapped in a strange, decaying village with no clear memory of how she arrived. From the outset, the game establishes a tone of isolation and dread, suggesting that the town itself is not merely a setting but a central force in the story—something deeply wrong that must be confronted rather than escaped. This framing gives the experience a sense of purpose, even as the details of the mystery unfold slowly through exploration. The gameplay follows a familiar top-down RPG structure, with players navigating interconnected areas, interacting with objects, and progressing through a sequence of events that gradually reveal the truth behind the village. Movement and interaction are straightforward, allowing players to focus on uncovering clues and piecing together the narrative. The pacing is deliberately measured, often prioritizing tension over action. Quiet stretches of exploration are punctuated by moments of danger, creating a rhythm t…

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…

I played this game for 9 minutes and Bobby has killed me 20+ times. Bobby, stop. Please. ---------------------------- Originally I couldn't progress as theres no prompt to tell you to run when Bobby the bear is ordered to attack you, so I ended up perpetually stuck fighting him on 1 hp, the game doesn't end when he kills you, its an endless loop and eventually I got curious and walked around with the bear following, I realised eventually I could leave the Inn to progress.. this needed better prompting as I almost totally gave up playing. The story is pretty confusing so far, something with witches and wizards, zombies and a strange village/town with murder?.. It seems very random currently and as you go through its honestly difficult to know where to go or what to do at several points, you end up having to just wander randomly and hope for the best. I've written a guide but honestly this game is buggy, doesn't help you find where you need to go and the achievements are broken. I can't recommend this game.
