The 9th Gate

You play the role of Kim, a paranormal investigator. After a young girl goes missing and the police find no clues to her disappearance, you come to see if your gifts can help find her. You go to an abandoned apartment where the girl was last seen to start your investigation. The night is dark and stormy, thunder and lightning awaken the night sky as you make your way into the apartment. You enter, your mind flashes and you go blank! You wake up inside a nightmare in the building; you seem to be trapped. What has brought you here and why? How do you find the missing girl and escape? Your phone suddenly rings; there is a woman on the other end saying she is there to help you. You have no choice but to follow along. The 9th Gate is the first release on Steam by Developer, Spacepup Entertainment, and is self- published. Released on Oct 17, 2018, it is an Indie Action Horror Title. You will find many creatures of the Netherworld that haunt the apartment with its tainted history; from Toyol’s and Saka’s to Langsuir’s, these spirits are not the friendly sort. They all possess different abilities and must be dealt with in different ways. You must use your wits & psychic powers to avoid th…

Oh boy. Where to begin? I really wanted to enjoy this game. It looks pretty interesting and had some positive reviews so I gave it a whirl. The voice acting was pretty painful to listen to. The lady was overly dramatic with the way she spoke and it really ruined any kind of horror aspect since it wasn't scary, it just annoyed me. Let me give you a quick run-through of my playtime thus far: I start the game and I'm excited to see all the settings I can change since a lot of the indie games I play really only have an option for screen resolution or whether or not it is windowed. I'm a little worried about the rocking horse sound since it's a bit choppy, but I ignore it and continue with the game. Opening doors is ridiculously hard and glitchy. You need to hold your mouse button along with W or S (up and down) to use doors. This only works half the time so most of my game time was spent struggling to click and drag doors open. It was like they weighed 500 lbs and were too heavy to move. I try to ignore this and keep playing even though there is some lady(the same terrible voice actress from the beginning) who keeps calling you on the phone and being overly dramatic to the p…

Fun enough little horror which doesn't quite do enough to justify the price but on sale it could be a worth a look in. There's a brief prologue to get you used to the controls and mechanics and then you're let loose in an incredibly dark, sprawling 3-story building. Your goal is to track down 9 dolls (in order mind you, you can't shortcut by taking any old doll back) and return them to your magical circle home base, and this unlocks finding and rescuing the lost child to complete the game. And for each doll you only have a certain time limit to do so, otherwise you die and you have to hunt for it again. It's not very punishing though, any failure from timeout/monster catching you only sets you back to homebase, your current progress/saved dolls are still saved. Which does take the tension out of it a bit. How you find the right doll is to use your phone recorder. Where you put it to your ear, and hunt down the sounds of crying. If you don't hear any crying at all you have to go to another floor. At first it's pretty difficult as you bumble about, and have no sense of where anything is, and get stuck on furniture. But over time you quickly learn. As you go about you can l…
