It feels familiar and predictable rather than fresh, but it still offers a polished horror experience.14 found this helpful
WOW (some) SPOILERS AHEAD BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!!!!!! It starts well, then the plot starts developing and it's very predictable, the ambience sort of dies midway, has some of the goofiest scenes I've seen in a horror game (particularly the ones with the bird man, I could not stop laughing when I saw him playing the piano). It has some "interesting" puzzles, the hardest one being a morse code. That one was the best one and I say so because it's the only one I remember doing. Game is VERY, VERY short, literally took me less than 2 hours to complete and I wasn't even trying to speedrun or anything, literally a normal playthrough. Considering that in my region the game full price is around 5 dollars and 3 on discount, it's not that terrible, but I'd still advise you to buy it on sale. If you want to play something similar to this, but better in my humble opinion, get Layers of Fear, both are walking simulators and, actually both stories are kinda similar? But Layers of Fear kills it on ambience and art, also better puzzles. That's pretty much it, thanks for reading, have an amazing day/night!2 found this helpful
I Originally Started the CreepyShift Series First. I Can't Believe I missed such a Wild and Wonderful Game I Really Should Have Played This First! Amazing Game You Have Here!.
4/10
interesting enough game you can finish pretty quick. its got some very pretty settings!
I enjoyed this game. It was not predictable as I thought it was going to be and the last chunk of the story completely threw me off. Definitely recommend if you want a game you can experience in about 2 hours
