About Night in Riverager

✦ AI summary

Play as the Hunter navigating a haunting papercraft world on a desperate quest for medicine through the King's dangerous domain, solving puzzles and fleeing supernatural threats in this atmospheric prequel. This free short horror adventure offers a chilling introduction to a darker universe while standing as a spine-tingling story in its own right.

Will you complete your journey into the dark? Or will you become just another character in another’s story?

Join the Hunter on his journey now, then explore the world further in My Beautiful Paper Smile.

Gameplay:


A Night In Riverager is a short horror adventure and a prelude to the events of My Beautiful Paper Smile. Players will explore and puzzle their way through a new part of this eerie monochrome world.

I liked My friend is a raven. It had some meaning, and 4 different endings. But what the ♥♥♥♥ is this? U have inventory but u never use it. U have houses in your village that u can trigger but doors just closed. U have a coin to deliver but u never deliver it. Straight line story: wake up, read a reminder in the wall, talk to mother, go outside, go at the gate, walk to the left to lift a handle, go to the right to lift a handle, go straight in the house to lift a handle, cross the bridge, to towards the house on the left, lit a fire, go inside and sleep, see a nightmare, go up the stairs, die? U can't do even something differently. What is the point of inventory? What is the point of clickable doors in the houses in the village? What is the point of the coin in the inventory? What is the point of the knife in the inventory???? Full gameplay is in the trailer, i mean it. I understand it is a demo, prologue for another game but u could do it better. Sounds are nice.

Yea, this is a cool PT for My Beautiful Paper Smile (which I still need to play!)! I didn't realize it was a PT for the larger game which sometimes ends up being the case for "Free" to play games. Still a hidden gem but I'm pretty sure the main game is really well received & super popular. I released this for members first as part of my FTP Friday series, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9fErV0j_-E Quick & sweet lil playable trailer for M B P S. which did make me Wishlist it!

I love it's artwork, but... it's just a short demo for another game, completed in 17 minutes. Needed to play it in offline mode, because it crashes all the time, if you don't turn off your internet connection. Therefore no, I can't recommend it. Except if you want to buy that other game and think a little teaser could make it more interesting maybe?

The game is literally unplayable when you start the game it crashes after like a minute.
