Quantum Resonance

Visuals are great at combining PSX and half-life vibes and sounds are also quite good. Overall this game is better then most of psx slop and would recommend to play it just for aesthetics alone. However there's a lot of issues with it as a horror game and with its gameplay and below is heavy spoilers with constructive critique for the developer: [spoiler] 1. Game is too tedious in the beginning. First run through every room just to read instructions shoukd have been completely removed. 2. Game is very restrictive with its interactions, which is more or less fine for its legnth but it just doesn't feel good that I can't open some rooms before game decides that I need to or that I can't even go in some directions (during escape sequence) 3. Game would benefit greatly from less scripted and more roaming AI and it even could have more routine maintenance or stuff during escape sequence if it would be more sandboxy and non-linear. I greatly recommend playing Voice of the Void (as reference for routine work) and It Steals/Lethal Company (as reference for AI) for some inspiration in that regard. 4. Great stuff with optional password over radio but when I reached PC I just instinctively…

I actually had a lot of fun with it. It's a very suspenseful game. And while it doesn't have a lot of replay value, I would still recommend it, and I would say that it deserved much more popularity. It's kinda sad (and this is an advice to the developer) that this game wasn't advertised good enough, otherwise it could had been more successful and gotten a lot more reviews.

I'm a little torn on giving this a positive or negative review. Overall, I actually enjoyed the game quite a bit. However, there are definitely areas of improvement that can make the game even better. Let's start with the Strengths: [list] [*] The atmosphere and ambiance is fantastic. I enjoyed exploring the facility, checking out the different regions, and the visual aesthetic presented. The low-poly, Half-Life inspire art style and presentation is a treat and a welcomed love letter to the title. [*] The story, though simple and straightforward, isn't bad per say, though it isn't particularly complex. It's a standard 'ripping open a door to another reality and facing the consequences' story. [*] The controls are simple, easy to learn, and beginner friendly. The mini-games aren't overly complicated and will not frustrate the player. That being said, they are pretty simple. [*] The skill curve! When the game detects you struggling and dying repeatedly, it does you the favor of toning down the difficulty until you're able to get pass a particular section. This is great for first time players, and there are achievements based around this NOT happening for a bit of repeata…

Tedious and uses AI for voice acting.
