逃离梦魇(Escape from the nightmare)

⠀

逃离梦魇(Escape from the nightmare) is a pretty simple 3D action adventure game, but I enjoyed the strange journey it takes me on. I start in the real world before being pulled into another world filled with monsters, and my main goal is to get stronger, survive the journey and eventually find a way back out.

Quite an accomplishment. It's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. There's no initial download price, but the developer was charging $1 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It seems like a nice gesture for the game to have no up-front cost anymore, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. This is also a bi…
