The Lakeview Orb

What can I say... the game is freaking awesome. Without spoiling much, it has done something that most horror games are afraid of, which is to give you multiple scenarios and reward you for exploring them. While it may be short, the storytelling, horror, and atmosphere are damn well done and worth your time. You just gotta be smart and not go for the EXTREME obvious stuff, then you will get high satisfaction for your efforts. I got all the achievements and still wanted more! Recommended!

Once you read just a little bit of the lore, you immediately become interested in discovering all of the other endings. The atmosphere is totally its strongest feature, from the scenery to the sound design. Controls are easy to figure out. The dialogue is funny and it doesn't waste your time. Highly recommended!

I just finished the first ending and can't wait to discover the other possible endings.. The story had me HOOKED the whole time, very well done! And I love the graphics, they gave me 2013 horror games vibes, specifically reminded me of slenderman.
