Halloween Mysteries

[h1] Bad controls with bad flows. [/h1]

Rotten camera, rotten visibility, rotten controls, rotten checkpoints, no respawns, no healing, not even when leveling/raising HPs... It's supposed to be a simple Hack n' Slash little toy, but even that low a bar was too high for these devs, who only managed to come up with a clunky grinder.

This game tricks you into thinking it's a warm and cozy little Halloweeny treat, then it tosses in some absurd bosses and the worst platforming level ever created. ONE MINUTE REVIEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp3_OPleY5U

It's almost as if the controls and camera hate you.

Halloween Mysteries Steam Review- 4-21-25 ------------------------------------------------- This game is atrocious. I'd ask for my money back, but I'm afraid the dev would have to take my dollar out of it's frame on the wall to give it back. -- The camera is wildly disconnected from your character, and zooms in and out enough times in a few seconds to make you seasick on land. -- The writing is terrible. The pronunciation is terrible. The "music" is just pops and clicks. The sound effects are just more pops and clicks (yeah, my sound is working just fine, it's the game that sucks). -- Playing on mouse and keyboard, and I let the game know that, but I still get "bumper" and "trigger" control prompts. NOTHING is re-mappable. -- Why do I have a monster 4K TV and a monster 4K GPU if 1080 is the highest rez? Why, God? -- I have no idea if my game saved or not. I really don't care, because I won't be playing this game again, so it doesn't matter in the slightest. -- Halloween is my favorite holiday and time of the year, and this game just kicked my love for October 31st in the mini- pumpkins. Ouch. -- I hate being mean (no, I don't), knowing that someone poured nearly 1…

visuals are nice enough with that fun halloween spookieness, but the rest is a disaster. controlling the camera with the mouse feels janky the game constantly eats your inputs when trying to fight enemies just home in on you and wail on you or spam projectiles at you, which also results in sound glitches unavoidable homing projectiles are fired at you from off screen your lock on for your ranged attack only works whenever it wants to it's repetitive shlock stay away from this game
