Temple of the Green Moon: Prologue

Some really good jump scare in this one. Looking forward to trying the full version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yS_FB5CASY8

Nice graphics, maybe in the future this game will be interesting. But for now, just the cave, old style monsters.

Not sure how much percentage wise but the AI slop smell is strong in certain parts of this. The main character is a coward and a moron who's dumb enough to follow her partner into a death cave and then when the partner goes to get help and is clearly dead she spends the rest of the demo talking ♥♥♥♥ about them (admittedly justified to some extent but come on at least pretend to grieve). Also the partner's name changes from Ivan to Vanya? Great work. Objectively the game does awful feeling things, like making you wait and press prompts at indeterminate timings to turn a wheel consistently instead of just... letting you hold the button down? Imagine climbing a ladder in first person but you have to distinctly press up every rung you climb instead of just holding up or even mashing it to climb, that's what I mean. It's not great. Subjectively the game isn't scary and lacks any atmosphere because the character doesn't shut up and the ghosts are just random dudes in rags with smoke around them you shine a flash light on. There's no lore or reason why any of the things you find are there - meaning it feels thoughtless and random so why would anyone get invested? Oh yeah and file size i…

For a demo, this was very well made. Good scares and atmosphere, I look forward to playing the full version.

Temple of the Green Moon: Prologue is a short first person horror game that throws me straight into a cave system in the Zhigulyov Mountains. I play as Alyona, a tourist who ends up trapped underground with strange creatures nearby, and my main goal is simply getting out alive. I have a flashlight, a few things to figure out and a lot of dark places that I probably do not want to walk into. The whole thing is pretty straightforward, but I like how quickly it gets to the point. I am not spending ages learning complicated systems before the horror actually starts. The atmosphere is easily the best part for me. The caves are dark, quiet and cramped, and the limited view from the flashlight makes me pay much more attention to what is around me. I never really feel comfortable while exploring because I know something can appear when I least expect it. The setting also gives the game a nice sense of mystery, especially because it is connected to the larger Temple of the Green Moon story and the strange legends surrounding the mountains. Even though this is only a prologue, I do get enough of that atmosphere to understand what kind of horror the full game is aiming for. The flashlight m…
