Palmyra Orphanage

Decent game. About an hour. A few jumpscares but mostly atmospheric horror.

Really good game. Nice jumpscares. Perfect amount of lighter fluid so it's not frustrating. Good puzzles, and manageable escape from villain.

If you love horror games don't buy this. waste of money not fun or scary at all. also no objectives. run around the same spots forever. This is a real review not the weird fake ones or the received product for free ones. your welcome.

Palmyra Orphanage isn’t jump-out-of-your-chair scary, but it absolutely nails atmosphere and storytelling. From the very start, I was engaged, and by the end I was faced with a moral decision that genuinely affected how the story wrapped up — which I always appreciate. The game leans heavily into dark, oppressive environments and psychological tension. The jump scares are fairly obvious, but they didn’t feel cheap, and honestly, I wasn’t mad about them. What really got me was the anxiety — the kind where everything feels off, especially when the antagonist is nearby. You don’t see much of them up close until late in the game, but when they appear, reality starts to break down and you’re forced to hide and wait it out, which made for some genuinely stressful moments. There’s not a lot I can say without spoiling things, but for what it sets out to do, Palmyra Orphanage succeeds. I enjoyed my time with it, felt invested in the outcome, and walked away feeling like I got my money’s worth. Recommended.

hella solid scary game, a couple cheap scares, a lot of tension, super dark atmosphere (literally and metaphorically), and a sadly eerie story. I like it alot

The game runs very well, graphically it looks good, and the gameplay was easy to learn. However, the save system and the menu's were horrendous. Whenever you enter a new area of the game, it won't save. The player will need to replay 10-15 minutes all over again when they die in the game. And is you want to select anything from the inventory, scroll using the middle mouse button or the arrow keys on the keyboard is needed to select items. Those two things destroyed the immersion and the atmosphere that this game was trying to offer. I give Palmyra Orphanage a 2/5 My rating system: 1 = Horrible game. Don't even look at it. 2 = Bad game. 3 = Average. Its neither good nor bad. 4 = Worth Playing. 5 = Must play!
