Enthralled

Start at the door, walk into the desert, get caught by a monster, get sent back to the door, walk to the desert, get caught by a monster, repeat, repeat, repeat. Unable to continue, thus... Rating :0/10

"Enthralled" is more of a walking sim than anything else, a short and unambitious exercise in making a game that looks orangey-red everywhere. There's a couple of lame puzzles/jumpscarey monster avoidance things, but no real substance behind the "experience" of looking at stuff. Games need a bit more than just lame atmosphere to capture people's attention. What do you do in the game? Very little. Walk around, avoid some stuff, get teleported back to checkpoints a few times, yawn, uninstall. The game is really simple and unambitious in terms of implementation, more of a tech demo or one of those cases where an amateur developer spends $100 to publish something on Steam Direct to see if it's possible. Yes, obviously it's possible. A proof of concept, tech demo, or something that's less than a little blip on the radar isn't offering anything truly valuable to gamers. I'm not sure if this is an asset flip, but it's one of those cases where the assets just look much better than the rest of the quality of the game... a glaring inconsistency. There's no evidence, but as always, the biggest problem with asset flips besides the plagiarism is the deplorably low quality of the other…
