Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise the game's creepy atmosphere, colorful environments, and engaging horror premise centered around exploring a haunted house and circus. However, the experience is significantly hampered by technical issues including game-breaking bugs in the diary/mission log system that prevent progression, puzzle inconsistencies, poor optimization causing CPU lock-ups and frame rate drops, and an overall sense that the game feels unfinished for its price point. While some players found it fun and scary despite minor bugs, the severity of these problems has led many to recommend against purchasi
Just beat the game, a fun horror game where you walk around your haunted house and a circus where a pale little girl ghost haunts. The rooms and levels were super brilliant and colorful, gameplay is cool and i enjoyed playing1 found this helpful
Unfortunately I can't reccommend this one. I came across game breaking bugs that just made me give up on the game. Pros: + Gives the look of a game that could be good + Definitely nails the creepy atmosphere Cons: - The diary doesn't seem to update properly so I got stuck not knowing what to do - There is a puzzle where you must go through the right doors in a room to proceed but from what I mapped out the right doors didn't always work - The diary or mission log didn't update at all in chapter 2 so I couldn't proceed, even restarting didn't help and at that point I didn't want to restart the whole game Steam Curator Page: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/10995314-Szamer's-Collection/1 found this helpful
its a little bit buggy and fellls not Finish The Game , 4,99€ a little bit to much. But Funny . 4/10
Had some bugs with the tasks not changing. Overall a good game and im hoping they add more to the story.
from what I played it was really good and scary I kinda got a little stuck but it keeps you on your toes
Streaming this game was a nightmare. Whatever it was doing in the background it would lock up my CPU to the point that whenever I transition scenes on OBS, I would need to alt+tab out of the game in order to do so. Unreal Engine 5 was not optimized to run this game. The frame rate in most areas dropped to below 20 making it difficult to continue on. Also, the gameplay aspects of The Familiar Stranger was boring and the story was simply a person who was bullied as a child who got their revenge as an adult on the one's doing them wrong. That's it! This game should've been free. I give this game a 1/5 My rating system: 1 = Horrible game. Don't even look at it. 2 = Bad game. 3 = Average. Its neither good nor bad. 4 = Worth Playing. 5 = Must play!
