Very nice game that should receive better recognition, because it is totally worth it to play! The story is interesting, art is cool, and the soundtrack really good. Controls are very simple, puzzles not too hard to complete, and there are jumpscares and chasing scenes. I missed playing a game like this since I've played games like "The Witch's House", "Ib", and "Mad Father" ("House of Rules" actually reminds me of them).4 found this helpful
It's a decent game, but sadly, some levels are really hard to complete. Therefore, I couldn't complete it.3 found this helpful
Дуже дивно. Сюжет частково впізнаваний по ходу гри. Бісячі перепроходження. На локації з манекенами я померли буквально 12 разів. Кожні "прегони" змушують закрити гру і більше ніколи її не відкривати. Але я дограли на чистому інтересі. Рекомендую розробникам звернути увагу на те щоб будувати історію з самомго початку та давати її комусь на огляд, бо deux ex machina тут неймовірно виражена. Наприклад, що двері від підвалу чомусь знаходяться у дворецької в шафі. (як?) Мене порадували наявності кінцівок там де можна "просто піти", але мені не сподобалось НЕЙМОВІРНО - проходити і програвати знову і знову в перегонах. (бо фактично в тебе нема іншого вибору.) Також я знаю що це перша гра розробника та, будь ласка, не сприймайте критику цього твору як особисту критику. Він є суто чесним емоційним відгуком від гри. З гарних моментів також хочу зазначити піксельарт та флешбеки Джейн з кінця гри - вони зроблені неймовірно чудово та сінематично. Бажаю удачі в наступних творах!
我服了一上来就找工作，太真实了 需要的配置很低，轻松运行。可以顺便锻炼英语，不错 接受了不能用手柄，进来发现鼠标也不行，行吧，那为什么不支持手柄呢？算了都这个价格不计较了。
A little difficult but cool premise. I was hooked.
omg so good
