KOJOUJI

Kojouji - Biggest waste of 20$ I've played in a long time. (15$ as of steam release) The game looks good but it has basic horror elements that you can find in hundreds of free horror, the big problem comes from the game play and items. I call this genre the hide and seek ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ genre. The story is resident evil if someone tried to hire a private investigator to inspect the umbrella corporation. You spend the game wandering around a dark factory finding keys (Not always keys but items that work the same as keys),changing the batteries to your flash light, and replacing filters to your gas mask since the whole area is filled with deadly gas. Sound familiar? It is but the big change (Just kidding) is there is a super slow monster that is constantly following you as you back track around the map trying to remember which dark corner you got the key and which door its for. Oh and fyi, if you die you start over again from the beginning with none of your items. I only found three enemies while playing the game. Slow monster, Fast monster, and Quick time event monster. The slow monster is a worm that follows you around the map and kinda looks like a butt hole with teeth. They kill by e…

It's a really interesting game, the Gasmask and being killed restarting you really destroys the fun of it. Nothing less fun than getting decked by a giant sprinting monster to have to start again.

[i]Kojouji[/i] is an incredible ten minutes, and I'd recommend it to anyone if they're willing to pay for that; and if that's you, [b]I beg you to stop reading.[/b] Booting [i]Kojouji[/i] up for the first time is this incredible experience. You have no idea where you are, what you're doing at this factory site, and who you even are. The player character pulls out a gas mask and fits it over their face, and a letter from a distressed wife missing her husband pops up on screen. You start exploring your surroundings, ignoring a pop-up that asks if you want to leave, and instead pushing deeper into the factory, as the ground begins to squelch beneath your feet. Unfortunately, [i]Kojouji[/i] doesn't maintain the kind of unknown that it starts with. The setting melts away as you start hunting keys to doors, and avoiding not-venom and not-face-huggers. What becomes a spooky factory soon becomes a slog as you get lost, start backtracking, checking every door whether they're locked or unlocked, and dying. [b]You're reminded that the enemies are blind and rely on sound, so you start crouch walking. Not-venom can't kill you when you're crouching.[/b] As for graphics, there's that Unreal En…

Just finished the game and I got the A ending 👍 It was a good intense sci-fi horror game, but I gotta admit it was painfully confusing at first, you have no idea where you will go and what should be done inside the game, but it's a good thing that you're progress is saved if you died, so all you gotta do is explore the place until you memorize some key locations where you needed to go and find the key items that are scattered throughout the place, still it's not bad for a short horror game. Tips: crouch walking makes the man eating worms not detect you.

Kojouji is a good game with some major flaws that make it not a good game. I had fun playing this. I liked the mood and the creatures. I had a hard time trying to find my way because everything is too dark and it looked the same. As much as I wanted to play more it takes me almost an hour to get far before I die and have to restart from the begging. Update: Kojouji is MUCH better after the update fix for lighting, gas masks, and more. The implementation of a save system is splendid. I don't think the game should cost more than $5, but It's now a good indie horror game.
