[quote][b]Note: Dead PvP game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content. There are no available servers and no player population. This game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] This was a multiplayer VR social deduction game (read: Werewolf/Mafia/Town of Salem etc) set within an asset flipped mansion. Players take on roles, with some secretly designated as killers. Gameplay involves searching for items or clues, attempting to identify the killers, or, as a killer, eliminating the other players before being caught. It died so hard, from the asset flipped backgrounds to the laughable quality junior high school tier character models, gamers avoided this AmongUs ripoff like the plague. So, Scary Buddies is a dead PvP game. Why did it fail? It's video game autopsy time! [i]Almost every PvP exclusive game on Steam fails.[/i] Only a tiny proportion of them "go viral". This game failed for many of the same reasons those others fail. The chief of which is the developer thinking that their game will "go viral" without actually creating any reason for it do so. Competition amongst PvP centric games is extreme, and there's only a finite player base to appeal to.…1 found this helpful
[h1]Before I played Scary Buddies, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]1 found this helpful
Игра "Scary Buddies" - это неожиданно увлекательная смесь жанров, сочетающая в себе элементы хоррора и юмора. Несмотря на нарочито мультяшный стиль рисовки, игра умудряется создавать напряженную атмосферу благодаря жутковатым звуковым эффектам и неожиданным скримерам. Игровой процесс, хоть и не самый инновационный, держит в приятном напряжении: нужно решать головоломки, прятаться от монстров и собирать предметы, необходимые для продвижения по сюжету. Особенно хочется отметить дизайн персонажей – "страшные друзья" получились запоминающимися и по-своему милыми, несмотря на их пугающие намерения. Сюжет, хотя и не отличается особой глубиной, вполне способен заинтересовать и мотивирует двигаться дальше, чтобы узнать, что же произойдет с главными героями. Конечно, в игре есть и недостатки. Управление иногда кажется немного неуклюжим, а головоломки порой излишне сложны и не всегда очевидны. Но, в целом, "Scary Buddies" - это достойный представитель жанра, который способен подарить несколько часов увлекательного геймплея. Любителям хоррор-игр с юмористическим уклоном однозначно стоит обратить на неё внимание. Рекомендую!
Don't even bother to play, the game does not work at all. Got 5 friends on vr to do a game session on this game for nothing because it literally does not work you can't start a game. Waste of time.
