Palmyra Orphanage

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.

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.

3/10

Amazing game. Full of dread. Great lighting. Immersive and freaky. And great lore that wraps things up. This actually scared me all the way through. Haven't been caught this off guard for a while. Holy. You can tell the people behind this game have passion in this work. Absolutely worth a play!

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.
