A brief horror game in which you are tasked by 'The Church' with investigating a derelict research station and retrieving the artifact that its mysteriously disappeared crew recently obtained. This can only end well... Strap in for some zero-G graverobbing!2 found this helpful
Really great short horror game made more fun by the zero gravity controls. Great atmosphere and the overall design of the space station is so cool. Well worth the price - full play through took me about 40 minutes.1 found this helpful
This was better than I expected overall. The atmosphere and setting are pretty good. It mixes religion and sci fi fairly well for such a small indie experience. For some issues... There is a room you can't enter in one segment of the ship that is thankfully not needed, but looks fully open. You're blocked by an invisible wall. No other area in the game does this, so I assume it's a bug. The sound design is mixed. The voice acting is pretty poor to the point where it throws off the mood the game is trying to set, and the audio is strangely low quality. There is this weird 'spooky' sound que that seems to play on occasion, when absolutely nothing is happening. I have no clue what that's about. Other than that weird sound que, everything else about the 'horror' is pretty good and surprisingly subtle in a lot of places. I enjoyed the experience.
interesting and unique playthrough. Great short horror indie game.
What can I say about BURN after playing it? I'm really 50/50 here on it. PROS: - it's inexpensive, and even less expensive on sale - it's short ... I took my time and it took 77 minutes to finish. - Pixely graphics (if you like that) CONS: - wonky controls and control set-up - confusing and not well explained - pixely graphics (I don;t like them) - didn't find the atmosphere scary .. just confusing - got stuck in several places (adding time to play) - no replayability factors - no real story, just snippets of something that happened - disappointing, confusing ending Overall, I was really kinda disappointed, and was considering refunding.... but I won't refund. For me, the poor graphics quality, wonky controls, lack of coherent story, and lack of any real replayability factor really were the most disappointing aspects of the game. I feel like ... if you took DEAD SPACE, removed the necromorphs, removed all story except a few snippets from chapters 2, 7, & 10, then made it first person in zero-g, and converted it to lo-res pixel graphics, you'd have BURN. Overall, I have to give BURN 2 out of 5 lit candles with a column of smoke from one smoldering candle... or 2.5/5.0 Altman…
Delightful
