Bump in the Night (2024)

I really want to like [b]Bump in the Night[/b]. [i]I really do[/i]. This little horror game has a very simple but compelling premise, a tried and true gameplay hook (while fully acknowledging which game it was inspired from; the game being [b]The Exit 8[/b]), intentionally dated 3D visuals, and made by an indie developer to boot; which I always love seeing. All for the [i]low low price of three dollars![/i] wowiee! this just sounds perfect for the casual horror fan, right?[i]....well, as a proud member of that demographic[/i], [b]I didn't like it[/b]. Now, I don't want anyone to get the idea that I'm an overly negative critic or anything, so let me start by telling you what I did like about [b]Bump in the Night[/b]! [i]uhhh..... hmmm... how about....[/i] I'm just messing with you. (*ahem*) while a haunted house is certainly not the most original horror game setting, the house itself is really detailed. Books line the shelves, pictures and family portraits adorn the walls, toys litter the floor; giving a real sense that people actually live here. I also really like Peanut, your stuffed rabbit toy and best friend; and the game's mascot (well, something like that). He perfectly strad…

Very cute but very short spot the difference horror game.

A great intro into Observation horror games.

It's alright.

The visual style for the game is not a great idea for an anomaly game. It's not as fleshed out as other anomaly games and doesn't feel as fun.

I played this game for 25 minutes with a chat watching and nobody understood the game. in the middle I learned I was looking for differences in the level, but I never understood how to win. Maybe some more instructions would go a long way. Gameplay https://youtu.be/SnGvMnBcf18?t=4904
