Obfuscation

I would have enjoyed it if it wasn't a plotless trigger hunt.

Now this is real slow burn horror done right. No overwhelming mechanics, not trying to be something that it isn't, not trying to stuff as many sequences into as few hours as possible or drawing things out for too long, no cheap jump scares or cheap tension tactics, and no hyper-contrived story that is impossible to understand. It's just a very straightforward indie horror walking sim with decent puzzles, a simple yet unraveling story, massive tension, and perfectly times scares. This is the kind of game that keeps indie horror walking sims alive. Double thumbs up!

This game is really good, the grapic and gameplay are really good

This game was very impressive. Purely psychological. A lot of walking around, if you don't like walking simulators this is not for you, however, I do like them even though it was slow burning and very explorative in an ever changing house. Just pure eeriness and the feeling of something breathing on you as you walk around. Jump scares were well timed and the intense atmosphere of it all kept me on edge. I still want to know if it was me in the trunk or driving the car? or my wife driving? lol. See my playthrough here: https://youtu.be/-JIM8kSd5N4

To call this a slow burn would suggest at some point this picks up and does something. It does not. This is possibly the most mild form of an indie horror game you can get. Walking sim is a bit generous as this is more of a meander sim. You kinda just wander around the house and stuff just kind of happens. Eventually there's a thread of logic to follow, but it never really executes a decent jumpscare. A few bad ones? Sure it has those, it's not the loud shrilly kind, just the weirdly timed ones that are just kind of there and telegraphed heavily. This is another horror game that excessively using strobing lights to create spooky atmosphere, which is a peeve for me. Constant, aggressive strobing lights isn't atmospheric, it's obnoxious. The story for the game is also just kind of...there. It's not much a mystery, there's not much drive behind the story and trying to figure out what's going on. So because of these short comings, it's really hard for me to recommend this game... BUT What makes this game so annoying is that it has lots and lots of potential to be something very special. Made in the Unity engine, but the photo realism and lighting make this visually pop. The tight ha…

So far... It feels like all the annoying parts of Visage, and almost none of the good parts. The house is cool. I'm a sucker for house games, but this one feels like a door trying simulator. The jump scares mean nothing. There's no evolving story or anything. If you like wandering and stumbling around through a shifting environment (which IS well made), then this is for you. But it doesn't feel like the payoff for the frustration is coming...
