Retro Horror Story is a short, simple but relatively well made horror game where you must run from a monster while trapped inside a nightmare maze based video game. Pros + Decent Little Story/Dialogue + Intense Running Away From Monster + Not Frustrating To Play + Boss Fights Fun if Basic Cons - A little too generic but not bad for a small dev teams - Quite short Overall Retro Horror Story is a inoffensive horror game, with fun chases, simple puzzles and some good boss battles. For a small dev team it's a good effort 6/10 +

R.H.S. is a nostalgia trip through memory lane. A creepy, unsettling voyage to a PS1 era of gaming. Absolutely recommend if you love a short but concise game. If you want to check it for yourself, press the link below: https://youtu.be/6nuQFJZ_UnY

Nothing too fancy. Just a simple little horror game that doesn't take very long to complete and I like the art style. The game doesn't really have any setting and I had to unplug my second monitor because the cursor was still active, but it's whatever. Also it sounds like the monster is saying a certain slur whenever it attacks you so maybe keep that in mind.
