A copy paste of cry of fear and It's not that great. Even though I did not like that much cry of fear I still appreciated some stuff but with this game I only like the OST other than that there's nothing unique and original about it. Enemies are bland really bad design I understand that they're burned but It's bad and they just punch you that's it and you just left click them you can't even dodge their attacks I mean you kinda can by sprinting and moving back, and there's no healing items you don't have health you recover like in COD. It's missing survival horror elements like puzzles and resources. Its fine to take inspirations from other games but don't make it look the same, doing the same things as another game. I thought this would be good but when I started playing I knew this was going to be like cry of fear but worse.1 found this helpful
Fantastic horror game! It was so much fun that I got 100% of achievements! It's short which is quite unfortunate due to how much I enjoyed it. For anyone who is a fan of "Cry of Fear" give this game a shot! It has a very similar feel to it!
Super. Funguje skvěle na GE-protonu (linux)
This ♥♥♥♥ was soo peak made me cry. 10/10 Would get every achievement.
Good game 7/10. //SPOILERS BELOW// I get that it was inspired by cry of fear and you can see a lot of inspiration throughout the game. However, it failed to realize what made cry of fear special. It does some things well. I think it had a better visual than cry of fear. I really loved the car scene. Also, the puzzles here, although basic, were significantly better than cry of fear's. However, my biggest issue is with the story. The story and theme kinda sucks. The combat is also mediocre. One of the things that made cry of fear effective was its resource management, and how you had to decide what to keep and what to leave behind. In this game there really isn't much resource management. With that, I believe this game is worth it if it is on sale. It is a short game, there are some good areas. As mentioned I loved the car chase area, I also loved the forest and the burning hospital area. IMO This game needed more time to cook. I also cannot be too critical since for a game made by a solo developer.
pretty solid game, good lore and decent combat. love it and i definitely recommend it to anyone looking to play a game thats similar to cry of fear.
