Close Contact

Nice exploration game with poorly executed puzzles. Thumbs up if you like walking sims or exploration games but get it on sale. If you get stuck watch below (spoilers): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cr-jzRMAizw

If you're a fan of short but sweet, tense horror games, Close Contact is well worth your time. The game takes place in an eerie underground base, with a short section on a dense alien world. Close Contact has a clever mechanic whereby you have to close your eyes with the left mouse button to avoid being hunted by a genuinely scary creature. Of course, this makes navigation tricky, and can lead to some heart-stopping jump scares. All of this is complemented by an excellent, atmospheric soundtrack. Of course, being primarily developed by one person, there are a few rough edges. But overall Close Contact is a great little game at a fantastic price point that never outstays its welcome, and shouldn't be missed by fans of sci-fi horror games like Soma.

I am a new gamer and enjoyed this game. The beginning has you floating in space which was fun. Then getting to explore the lab area has been enjoyable so far. Looking forward to playing more of this game and others from this team.

buggy mess, playing on top hardware and it keeps stuttering, shame as the game looks cool but its unplayable. ryzen 7 5700x nvidia geforce rtx 4060ti 32GB DDR4 ram.

Short game, but was interesting to play. Has a few good puzzles that took me a bit to figure out. A bit of trial and error when getting away or past some enemies. I think this is fair price for a short game.
