Athemore

Pros: The voice acting was great in all aspects that I have ran into, the game was a ton of fun and the puzzles were simple yet good. Recommendation on some of the puzzles is there should be a randomization to what the code will be instead of the same code. Would definitely recommend playing again and will probably play more myself here soon. Visually the game was even better than expected and the sounds on point for plenty of tasteful jump scares when needed. Cons: So played through for one of the endings with the crystal ball, it ended up causing an infinite loops of the end game screen. with the new Halloween update had it to where when encountering pumpkin monster caused the game to completely be stuck in menus requiring a forced restart to play again loosing all progress. This happened twice in my play time.

Athemore ia dungeon crawler with a horror element game with great! Puzzles, traps, pits and enemies and some jumpscares bits many different areas to explore and objects of interest Some objects are collectable if you into dungeon crawler or horror games then have a go at this worth a play

If you're looking at the reviews to get an idea if the game's worth playing, I'll give a short review and then a more in-depth one after if you really want to know about the game, feel free to check out my video. Short review - If you enjoy horror games, with jumpscares and an intriguing story then play this game. It is alot of fun, the audio in particular is noteworthy compared to many other horror game's I've played. Just be warned, you'll have some hurtful things said about you by the bad guy (I've only just got over it). Just make sure you take time to make your choices as they really do alter the outcome of the game. Long review - This game builds on the first version from itch.io, adding new content and presumably fixing bugs from the previous version. It was just as much fun to play through the second time as it was the first. The jumpscares really got me, even one's that got me last time. The combination of the graphics and audio really does immerse you and makes you feel like you're in the castle, it's a haunting place. Now this is a balanced review and I do have some thoughts about the game in a constructive sense. My raw reaction can be seen at the end of the below v…

Great idea, mostly solid execution but just too buggy right now. Graphics look great, the sound design makes for a very tense atmosphere. It surprised me that it had voice acting and it's decent too. There are checkpoints before sections that could insta-kill you which I greatly appreciated. There are well-hidden secrets that feel great to find, lots of breakups that make things feel fresh and interesting, and several endings. The jumpscares got me every single time too. Sadly, I've encountered a lot of obvious bugs that soured my experience and I hope they get fixed. Also some of the settings dont seem to do anything after setting them and they revert to their previous state when restarting the game. All in all, the idea is solid, the atmosphere is very tense and the voice acting is well above and beyond what I had expected, I just wish this game had gotten the same amount of care in QA as it did in all the other aforementioned areas. It's such a shame that it didn't, makes me sad when I consider "what could have been". In its current state, I cannot, in good faith, recommend it. [b]Update: the developer has since added patched in fixes for a couple of bugs, added a warning ab…

Has a lot of problems with it, but it's a neat little experience. I do not recommend going for all the endings or achievements because it's a grueling and soul sucking process. But playing it once or twice is nice.

Full Disclaimer: I don't really go out of my way to play Horror games, but I thought I'd give Athemore a try since I'm voicing a character in Aces Games' upcoming game, Unaware. Athemore is a great little game that gets the Horror genre ingredients just right. The dungeon crawler style creates a fantastic ominous atmosphere where you wonder what's around the next corner. Adding to that atmosphere is your character's limited field of vision as most of your surroundings are in pitch black while you carry around a flaming torch. There are jump scares, but not too many and they're well spaced, so they aren't predictable. There are puzzles that are quite simple to work out. There's no combat, but your character can die in various ways. You can play through it in a couple of hours, but there are multiple endings, so you have some replay value. The glitches I encountered were very minor and the developer is already in the process of fixing them, so it's hardly worth mentioning. There was nothing even remotely close to game breaking. In fact, one or two proved to be quite amusing! Additionally, at a little over £7, Athemore is hardly going to break the bank, so with the replayability …
