About Acanthoceras

A Short wandering & running adventure inside of your own nightmare.
Everyone has already dreamed of being in an unknown place, strangely free in their movements, it was all fun and games... until "They" appears.

>_CONCEPT :
Acanthoceras is a fast-paced Horror/Parkour mixup where your only option is to repeat a cycle of fear, search, and run,
in the hope of escaping the nightmares chasing you.
The game lets you wandering in a abandoned hospital littered with puppet pieces.
A few papers on the floor are your only way to figure out what's going on.
You're free to move, run, jump, and slide...but will that be enough to escape?

Good luck and... Have fun.

"Welcome back old friend...
To come back here every night, did you miss us so much ?
Oh there is no need to answer...
You'd better start running don't you think ?"

Titled after something extinct, just like this game should be.1 found this helpful
Not recommended - extremely laggy even in 360p, worst jump controls ever, losing progress upon dying, relying on a dash move to cross impossibly long distances over laggy fire pits that is prone to dropping inputs. The wall-walk did not even work. All in all massive performance and control issues.1 found this helpful
so bad bro what is ts1 found this helpful
Okay so! Overall, I'd probably rate this game closer to a 6 or 7 out of 10 for a few reasons. Pros/things I liked: I liked the environment and the design of the game :) It was pretty enjoyable/fun to explore the map, and I liked the design of the doctor creature thing. Meh: The story from what I can gather is a bit bland/nothing special, but it's alright! What I didn't like: the camera movement feels too fast to me, and I definitely am grateful that you can turn down the sensitivity of the camera! That does help! But I also am not a huge fan of the playable character's movement speed, personally. It feels too fast. I also wasn't a huge fan of the spot you respawn at being the same lobby-esque area, but its nbd I suppose :) The game overall feels unpolished/unfinished, but I didn't really expect a finished/perfect product. The game is $2 without any sales, and I did purchase the game for two dimes.. It was nice, and definitely feels more like a small passion project to me :) I am worried about other reviews mentioning potential asset flipping / plagiarism, but I don't really have the know-how or skills to really notice or point out stuff like that, so I can't really comment on t…
this game is so dog poop that i had to create a cheat to beat without losing my sanity. Amaury Hyde, probably the worst game developer i heard.
