Kindawn: The Parish Remembers

Detailed introduction. Interesting storyline. Puzzles in the game were constructed pretty well, not your regular type. It can get scary at times almost pissed myself lol. Solid atmosphere. Lockpicking mechanism reminds me of something. Overall a great game, recommend.

Сырая игра, интерес пропадает уже на моменте с деревней староверов. Ужасная боёвка, максимально скучная и непроработанная. Сюжет ещё как-то спасает игру, но уж больно упарывается в шизофрению и максимальную бесовщину по типу слэшеров нулевых. Куча багов, от недотриггеров, до слияния аудиодорожек. От некоторых моментов, например с фазой в проклятой деревне, банально хочется дропнуть игру и вернуть деньги. Оптимизации нет в помине, зато игра со своими посредственными текстурами нормально так нагружает систему. Общий вывод: хотите поддержать местный геймдев - милости прошу, но продукт оказался полной проходимщиной не стоящей своей цены.

Kindawn: The Parish Remembers is a first-person psychological horror game set in Yakutia in the early 2000s. You return to the town where you grew up and explore its post-Soviet ruins while uncovering what happened there and why coming back may have been a terrible idea. Pros ✔️ It ran - I am reaching here, but the game did in fact launch and allow me to play it. ✔️ They made a cutscene - There are actual sequences trying to establish what is happening even if they weren't great. ✔️ It is voice acted - Having the story fully performed is a nice idea for something this narrative-focused. Cons ❌ It glitched a LOT - Things regularly behaved strangely enough that it became difficult to tell what was intentional horror and what was simply broken as they clipped through random items. ❌️ The controls are poorly explained and unintuitive - The game gives you very little direction, and figuring out basic interactions became considerably more frustrating than it needed to be. ❌️ The voice recording is BAD - It genuinely sounds like some of these lines were recorded inside a soup can. Whatever atmosphere the performances were supposed to create was completely lost in the audio quality. C…

This game was interesting. I hated the lockpicking and sometimes I'd be reading subtitles and get attacked so I had no clue what was said due to having to fight the enemies. As someone who loves lore and storylines that really irritated me. But the voice acting is great. And having a map that indicates where to go is very helpful, especially when you miss subtitles sometimes. There is a lot of fetch-questing but some of the jumpscares got me very good. Overall I'd rate is a 6.5 out of 10.
