Noctem

Okay lets be honest, I wouldn't recommend buying this game (at a max get it from sale). And simply put the reason being that it's extremely tedious and time consuming, without you feeling that you're making any kind of progress. Basically your only guides are using common sense to search the house multiple times over and over again, and the VERY "helpful" checklist in your inventory. The game hugely suffers from lack of guidance in short. The story itself doesn't get explained that much IMO, sure you get some sort of "backstory" when starting, however that gets really abruptly ended with the word "but.." and that's it, then the MC keeps talking about probably her dad... "my dad this" "my dad that", and already being frustrated with the game, I couldn't care less about the "Story". The game also suffers from very "cheap" and not that well put together animations. When the [spoiler]monster that chases you, gets you, you literally stare at the monster aannd.... you select what save you wanna keep continuing from...[/spoiler] It's really lazy. And then the [spoiler] monster's AI itself is totally boring. It either roams in the second or first floor. But however, if you manage to not …

The house itself is attractive, but the alternate dimension looks sloppy. The creatures that pursue you are annoying more than anything. The puzzles are sometimes nonsensical. Not a particularly great game and too short for the price point.

Stranger Things meets every indi horror game you've ever played. Cool concepts and ideas but a little slow a little dull. I played on stream for 3 1/2 hrs and was nearing the end but womp womp much like the girl in the game, I couldn't do it anymore. Not the worst but not the best.

I don't recommend this. The game started out being kind of interesting and creepy but it ended up feeling tedious and mediocre. It also feels very generic, like there's nothing truly unique about it. There are also no interesting characters even though the game has voice acting. There was a monster but it didn't make the game better, it made it worse. The puzzles were tedious. And the ending... Oh my God. I wish I could take back the time I spent playing this. Fun fact: when a game starts and the first thing that they ask you to do is to find a hidden key to open the house door; there's a very high probability that the game will suck. I remember 3 other games that started just like that and they were all bad, and now I found this one to add to the list.

Noctem is a great first-person horror experience. Throughtout the game, the player investigates a mystery about the protagonist's family, while revisiting their old home. I really enjoyed exploring the home and every room had a story to tell. Although there are some annoyances that may put your pace to a halt, the environmental storytelling and atmosphere of Noctem make up for it. It's a game that can be played from start to finish in about 3-5 hours, making it a solid choice for a horror night.

No clear instructions on anything the monster was lacklustre as well as the story, ending made no sense most of the notes were all saying the same thing definitely not worth the asking price just to walk around for nothing .
