Horror Story: Hallowseed

game bricked on me. monster spawns in wrong spot. tried to reinstall the game and still same issue. please avoid this game at all cost. i never write a review and this is my first one, which should tell you how upset i am at this game.

Horror Story: Hallowseed suffers from aimlessness where you literally walk around for 7 - 10 minutes within an area with no way to progress until the game decides that it's time for you to move forward and opens a random door for you. Rinse and repeat and that's the game. By that time though, the horror aesthetic has already grown dull and when something remotely scary actually triggers it falls flat. Some other glaring issues are the max sensitivity still feeling far too slow, no way to turn off the awful motion blur when you get too close to walls, the forced nauseating screen shake during horror sequences (Both of which cannot be turned off) and the game turning your character so fast it breaks the camera for a second or two...

So bad

i actually liked this short game! gave me some small heart attacks .

If you took the story out of this game and made it into a novel/novella, I believe you could have a really solid product here. As a video game, though, unfortunately, I could not recommend this to my friends. The biggest problem for me was the constant up-and-down of the camera while the main character walked and ran...I had to play this game in two different sittings because basic movement in this game gives me motion sickness. I have played horror video games my entire life, and never once has any of them given me the motion sickness this game did. It was hard to appreciate the story when I was feeling nauseous. The enemy spawns are also awful. They aren't scary at all, and they spawn so close to the player that they are impossible to dodge if you don't know they are coming. The seven pages search was also a hard to take seriously; Slender did the page-search task the best, and every version of it created in the hundreds of video games since feel like a lazy knockoff at best. If proper character development occurred and if the gameplay was more refined, I could give this game a thumbs up. In it's current state, however, I cannot. Maybe I'll revisit this game after a f…

At first, it was really good. The graphics were decent, and the story unfolded well. However, once I got inside the house, the game became bogged down with tedious, trivial tasks, and it stopped being fun. Lighting matches, in particular, was a real hassle. In the end, I had no choice but to stop playing altogether. It might be fun once you go through the whole process, but I don't want to waste even another second finding that out.
