About The Summoning

The Summoning


This experience can be classified as a psychological and atmospheric horror game.
However...
This isn't a game...
It looks like a game, but it's as real as it gets...
Remember all of the urban legends from your childhood?
Bloody Mary, Candy Man, even the modern day Slender Man?
Imagine if it was all real, but we just weren't performing the right rituals to summon these beings from another realm...
What if our childhood nightmares were all real, we just weren't ready to bring them into our world?

Well, for those willing, brave, or foolish enough, The Summoning presents the possibility for you to do just that...
This experience is not for the faint of heart.
You will need access to a few things, such as a writing utensil, paper, a dark room, and a mirror.

Can you get through all of the tasks in the game and perform them aloud?
Can you manage to survive this experience alone?
You may bring a friend if you wish, or dare a friend to do this experience, but be warned...
This is a once in a lifetime experience... It must be done properly and instructions followed precisely for it to work...
But it does in fact work...
Good luck to all who are brave enough to endure this nightmare.
I'm sorry to all who are not prepared but just don't realize it yet...


Features:


  • Perform Tasks Aloud for the ultimate atmospheric horror...
  • The only game of its kind...
  • It's not virtual-reality, it's ACTUAL reality...
  • Tried, tested, proven to scare you if you dare to follow all of the tasks presented...
  • Perform written and oral tasks aloud to bring nightmares to life...
  • Short experience that offers memories that will last a lifetime...
  • Experience this on your own or with multiple friends in the same room...
  • All for the low, low cost of your sanity...

Gives a lot more background to one of the characters in The Twins, so I'd recommend it if for nothing but that. Nice short horror game. I'd recommend this publishers titles if you're into stuff that's interactive but immersive for oneself.

I had some trouble deciding to up or downvote this one as a neutral score doesn't exist. There was some atmosphere here, definitely. For me it was too wordy for what it was though and I started skipping stuff which obviously took away from the experience. I was still intigued enough because I wanted to know the ending. I really liked the ending in The Test, the only other Randumb game I've played. I was disappointed here. Didn't feel like anything happened at all nor did anything I wrote on the paper have any meaning to it apparently. It was just some random stuff. I still don't know where the marker and the mirror should have come into play. I kinda feel like I didn't even finish the game even though I clearly did, the game said so and I saw the credits roll. I don't know. Can't recommend it unless you're really into the occult maybe.

Reminds me back in the olden days of cursed chain emails... Can't hurt to play (as long as you keep playing and follow the instructions)... right? 3/10

A fun little ritual game, me and my cat ghost did all the rituals but she fell asleep during the mind door one and now won't tell me what objects she found... probably just treats and squeaky squirrels. Also guys this is a psychological horror game, if you have mental health issues that would be exacerbated by a psychological horror game you might not want to play this. Also I'm not informing Jeff Bezos that he needs to do the rituals, for some reason that's who the mind goblins chose and we want him to be haunted

Simple, more of an interactive experience but it's understandable since it's the first of many to come. Since I already experienced the others before this one, my bias about the interactivity is a little higher than what this game provides. Yet, again since it's the first of many I'll let my critique slid. But the reason I give it a no is because it's an encouragement in a certain direction of spiritual interaction, even though it's a game. It's a fun experience and defiantly eerie. However the fact that it follows a process to similar rituals I can't recommend it to others.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
