Clown Camp

Cute little game. Short and doesn't overstay its welcome. Just engaging enough with an interesting enough premise.

It's a little above okay. It's genuinely charming. The price is totally fair. To note, these aren't "Playstation 1" graphics, they're "PSX" graphics. That may sound redundant to a lot of you, but the reality is that the itch.io-esque status of "PSX" really has lent itself to a Playstation-[i]inspired[/i] aesthetic, not one that actually follows the rules or honest appearance of the console [i]whatsoever[/i]. But that's fine, and we can tell from the trailers and screenshots. The game isn't so much scary as it is whimsical and weird. Combat was filler, which is par-the-course for survival horror games, but I will say I was still somewhat disappointed that [i]every[/i] encounter (without going into more details) operated in the exact same way, which was to stun-lock until you were low on stamina, then turn and walk to outpace the enemy (as the enemies can't attack and move simultaneously) before repeating. The saving system being kept in tents was okay in [i]retrospect[/i], but otherwise the uncertainty of if there was even a second save point at all in the game had me backtracking to the initial save point repeatedly, which scolded the pace of the game. I think this would have be…

Great

An absolute joy to play! There was some jank when I first played it but looking at all the recent updates it seems like most of it has been fixed so big kudos to the Devs! Ambience is pretty spooky, PSX graphics are spot on in my opinion and all of the items and upgrades you get are pretty fun! I didn't expect the story to be as good (and at times pretty funny!) as it is to be honest but I very much enjoyed it and can't wait for the sequel It's on the short side if you go straight to the finish line, but you can easily get 8 hours out of it if you go for 100%. Highly recommend if you're looking for a short but very sweet Indie Horror Gem!

I loved the aesthetic. I loved the idea for the story and in in what notes I could find, the story itself. I found it really frustrating that the start of the game gives you unlimited stamina only to take it away when an enemy shows up. From that point, you spend more of the game staring at the top left hand corner of the screen, ensuring your stamina never drops too low. I collected the oar, which is supposed to be a good weapon. Yet after 5 swings, the enemy did not die or stop. So essentially, there is no point to combat. My final gripe. WHERE DO I SAVE? Truly, I hope I did not miss it, but the death screen says to find a tape recorder to save. I could not find one, and died multiple times trying to save progress. I would be willing to stick with the game, even if I died many times. But the fact most of the gameplay is not explained an expected to figure out over multiple starting deaths is frustrating. I will probably return to the game, but overall disappointed. EDIT: Per the dev's comments I did just miss it. The note at the beginning does mention the tent, but getting up there made it look like it was just a prop and inaccessible. Regardless I am changing my review to p…

its really fun i like the atmosphere this game deserves more love and attention
