Charon's Staircase

For $2? Cool. For $20? Absolutely not. I was honestly ok with this game until I saw that it was released 2022. 2-0-2-2. I thought it was somewhere around 2015, graphics and jankiness wise. The UI and scaling is not up to par with widescreen requirements (the game is fine, but the menus seem stretched and the character archive you can look at is basically unusable). There were shelves missing in the library, just books floating, and halfway through some of the documents stopped being translated into English. The translation, when it is there, sometimes feels like a really bad google translator copy paste. Like "Feed: Professional Nurse and Synthetic Materials." Were they feeding them nurses?? Though the theme fits, I have a feeling that's not what it was trying to say, as nothing else in the story hinted to that. The graphics themselves are quite dated looking. The spanish voice actor was lovely. That and the final story reveal were the upside of the game. Some of the jumpscares spooked me, but it seemed like they were kind of just crammed in everywhere (but at least they all worked, no glitching). Also, why can't they escape over a closed iron gate?

Amazing game!! There's about three hours of gameplay, not five - I left mine paused for a long time lol. This is a VERY creepy game. I made it about 80% through and chickened out - I watched Gab Smolders play the rest on Youtube. The plot of this game was amazing. If you like horror (especially more sci-fi horror, because this isn't paranormal) this game is for you!

Very few puzzles, quite simple but always poorly worded or obnoxious... it's more of a walking simulator, pass on this one.

This game is good

I really enjoyed this game, amazing graphics and perfectly timed jump scares. Also great puzzles and just an all round great game.

If you make your game this dark, then at least add highlighting on items, you can't see a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing.
