About Captive

✦ AI summary

Captive is a horror escape-the-room game where you must solve puzzles and survive deadly wounds while uncovering the mystery of your imprisonment in a gruesome cell. Featuring atmospheric dread, permadeath stakes, and multiple endings, this bite-sized experience challenges you to think fast before your injuries become fatal.

Summary

"Captive" tells the story of a woman who awakens badly hurt in an unknown cell, without any memories about herself.

This bite size gem was worth the time. Short but creepy and worth the replay for the different endings. I usually get frustrated with slow movement, but I felt like it added to the sense of urgency that the game initially sets and adds to the experience rather than distracting from it. Kinda wish there was a way to bring the background sounds back hitting wrong buttons, but i didn't really look for a resolution, so that may be on me.

Not my cup of tea. But I understand why people would like this, the timer is neat and the art style is super cute yet grim :)

A great title in RPGMaker horror, especially for the tiny price tag. I did not see that story coming. I won't spoil it for any readers, but it caught me out of left field. Granted, the movement in this game was a bit jank, but it's workable. Definitely worth picking up and playing for $2.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

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.
