✦ AI summary

A Date in the Park is a free short horror adventure game that impresses players with its distinctive blend of pixel art and real photograph aesthetics, atmospheric worldbuilding, and a genuinely shocking narrative twist that contrasts sharply with its deceptively normal setup. Players consistently praise the well-paced storytelling, puzzles, and eerie ambiance, with several noting that understanding Portuguese adds an extra layer of discovery to the experience.

It's a *free* very short horror adventure game. Reminds me of old newgrounds horror flash games, very back and forth-y but the ambience is nice. It is also kinda delightfully frustrating if you actually read Portuguese, and that's not a common experience, so it's got that.

A short but really enjoyable mystery adventure with a great atmosphere and some unexpected twists. I loved the pixel art, especially how it was combined with real photographs of people, which gave the game a very distinctive feel. Simple, unusual, and nicely done!

Very fun. Short adventure with puzzles and an amusing story...about a date in the park. You can't go wrong with Cloak and Dagger Games

A short point-and-click horror game that starts off feeling surprisingly normal. You’re just exploring the park and talking to people, with nothing particularly alarming going on. The big reveal is genuinely shocking. The contrast between the normality of the setting and suddenly coming across something so horrible makes the moment much more effective. It’s also worth translating the gardener’s text if you don't speak Portuguese, as there’s more to what he says than you might expect. It’s not long, and completely free, but it manages to create a really unsettling atmosphere in that short time. Definitely worth playing if you enjoy short horror games with a darker story.

Great little game! I love the aesthetic so much; the pixel art is really pretty. It's short, well-paced, and a solid short story.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
