HorrorVale

I want you to ask yourself three questions. Do you love Halloween? Do you love RPG Maker ass RPG's? Do you love crepypastas, memes, and internet culture? Then don't worry about anything else. This game was made for you.

Very much a hidden gem. I originally picked up HorrorVale for the references thinking it would just be a small humerus game, what I got instead was a wonderful experience that never overstayed its welcome. While the game certainly has its fair share of references throughout it Horrorvale still does a wonderful job at making it feel organic, most that you see blend in with the rest of the world quite naturally. The game is chock full of spooky humor but still manages to keep a serious tone for the story when it's needed. The visuals and soundtrack are some of the most memorable I've encountered in an RPGMaker game in a long time, they both come together quite well to make the game really give that Halloween vibe to it. If you're a fan of Halloween themed things, Creepypastas, SCPS, or just general horror from the 2000s to early 2010s I really cannot recommend this game enough. Even if you're not a fan of those the game itself is a wonderful RPG that is an absolute steal for 16 dollars with the amount of content it has. I am greatly looking forward to Act:M, believe in the power of the Mothman!

Being real, this is probably the best RPG Maker game I've ever played in my whole entire life.

this game has ruined my fat chud life and all i did was get it gifted to me becausr zardy was in it. i love this game. every character is awesome. including the fact that zardy is in it. i played it 10 hours straight today

I'd go mixed if I could. Didn't complete the game yet, but I've seen enough to highlight some things. + Nice theme/lore + Fun characters, this is where most of the focus has been for the game + Good music (though so many fights that you'll hear some battle songs numerous times) + Many different companions (31) for party of four + Party XP, so no companion ever falls behind, allowing experimentation * Story is nothing special, it's mostly the character interactions that are entertaining * Many references to internet horror games like Sonic.exe or Ao Oni etc, as well as others. Personally I feel like game leans a bit too much into this as the world building could stand on its' own - Too easy. I am bored to death of numerous, numerous fights where no strategy is required of me and where I'm just going through the motions, I put animations to 2x speed but still feels slow. This is the main reason why I may not finish the game, as it requires nothing of me (apart from far and in-between secret bosses that take a little effort) - Many "minigames" and they all suck. Whether it's sloooooowly floating around a pit avoiding spikes, lever puzzle in a minecart level or shooting plast…

TL:DR This is one of my new favorite video games of all time and I wish I played it soon. You will also wish you played it sooner. Horrorvale is what happens when you combine Lisa and Undertale into one game and then give it a Nightmare Before Christmas makeover. What you end up with is one of the funniest, most charming and content deep Indie Games on the market. The characters and the world are very enthralling and you can get sucked right in. There are over 30 different party members to find, all with (mostly) their own stories. The gameplay is a standard turn based RPG. If you've played Lisa, Classic Final Fantasy or others, you'll get right into it. Its simple to get into but until the end nothing very challenging. If you're not a fan though its not all the game has going for it. There are no random encounters on the overworld and if you slay an enemy they are permanently gone from the overworld. Meaning its mostly not a chore unlike older games. There's also a lot of puzzles and, in my 60+ hour near 100% playthrough. There were only two whole puzzles I would call foul on. Anything else is pretty decent all things considered which help break up the standard turn…
