✦ AI summary
Players consistently praise the game's atmospheric design, ambient sound, and monster/death scene visuals, but are divided on whether it succeeds as horror—some find it genuinely unsettling while others find the main character's voice acting unintentionally comedic and distracting. The primary complaint is that despite being named after Carcosa, the game barely features this iconic location from its source material, and the voice acting throughout undermines the intended scares with poor delivery and over-reliance on crude dialogue.
For a game with Carcosa in the name, it certainly features less of it than the short mention it's based on in the book by Chambers... It would have been acceptable weren't for the aforementioned place not being in the game or barely seen, although I understand it wouldn't have been easy for an indie team to depict Carcosa in a game, whatever it may have looked like in Chambers head if at all, but then again, they chose the name and considering that The Yellow King is a prominent book here, I do believe that this was the intention. The voice acting is, in my opinion, one of the worst offenders, with dialogue that makes no sense and a character that insists on shouting every 20 seconds. There's a huge rely on crude language and crude imagery spread throughout the building in the form of graphity and I admit that every time I see any kind of emojis, smiley faces, crude language painted on walls, in any game, I pray that Hastur himself comes and rips my soul out of my body. These things are technics to make the game seem more "mature" and they fail, every single time and always will, but, back to the voice acting; the game would have been perfect without it, and without the constant u…2 found this helpful
Spoopy: 7/10 Overall: 8/10 Good: * Atmosphere and Map Design were fantastic. I recommend looking up at times so you don't miss anything. * Ambient Sound was also fantastic. The game did not rely heavily on loud Music. * The "monsters" were designed really well. * The death scenes were also really great. * Graphics were good. * Had complete Sound Sliders which was nice. * Graphic settings were limited but at least it had a few. * Was voice acted. * Overall the story is good. * Enjoyed the Ending. Bad: * Main characters voice acting was very poor. It took away from the scariness of the game. The main characters voice acting was unintentionally comical. * Some parts of the story remain unexplained. The overall story is easy to understand though. * Game is not overly expensive for what it is, but still slightly overpriced. * Puzzles weren't inherently bad but repetitive. Majority of the puzzles were to figure out a set of numbers. Would of liked more puzzle variety. * Not a huge variety of "monsters". Would recommend this game, especially if it is more than 25% off.1 found this helpful
