Try to Wake Up : The Legend of Trevis

Changes the loop anomaly a bit, but not exactly for the better. The game opens with a car wreck as something jumps onto the road and you attempt to dodge it. The accident puts you in a coma. However, this is not a regular coma since there is an urban legend that someone named Trevis would steal your soul unless you find a way out and wake up. The legend turns out to be true. Although this appears to be a regular horror indie game, it is actually a game with anomalies. If you are new to this type of game, the rules are simple. All you need to do is go through multiple rooms and look for anomalies, often known as differences. The first room is always the default one, and all subsequent rooms must be compared to it.

It took me about two hours to finish the game and get all the achievements. The game has a slightly horror/scary vibe, but it doesn’t rely on jump scares, which I appreciated. Instead, the tension comes from eerie details (sounds, room effects, voices, objects)—especially the mannequins that watch you with unblinking gazes, their heads and eyes always tracking your movements. It’s a clever use of atmosphere that adds to the game’s psychological horror. One note of caution: my girlfriend, who played a bit, experienced some motion sickness from the lighting effect. The rooms are often dark and the focused lighting can feel intense against the darker surroundings, so be aware of this if you’re prone to motion sensitivity. Overall, this indie title was a pleasant surprise. I…
