The Coma 3: Bloodlines

The Coma series by Devespresso Games is a masterclass in indie-2D hand-drawn survival horror. Closer in play style to Clock Tower with a core game thread of sneaking, hiding, running, and solving puzzles to unravel a nut-bag story. Is nut bag hyphenated? Anyway, I played the entire series back-to-back because I have too much time and have a love for all things Korean culture and nut-baggary. The original is The Coma: Cutting Class (later re-released as The Coma: Recut), followed by a sequel, The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters, and a companion to the sequel called The Coma 2b: Catacombs. Coma 3: Bloodlines was released earlier this year. 
Devespresso Games does a great job on building on each game and adding much-needed elements to gameplay or fixes. While the first entry starts out slow, eventually the developers introduced resource management, minor crafting, and better health and stamina systems to the later games. I am unsure if there is any juice left to squeeze from this series, but the adventure was worth it. The Coma 3: Bloodlines is the latest in the series and shows up with a whole grocery bag of new additions. New abilities! New bosses! New reasons to scream into a pillow! …

Honestly, I have mixed feelings about this one. I’ve played the first two games, and while The Coma 3: Bloodlines does some things incredibly well, it falls short in a few other areas. First off, the graphics are a massive step up. The game looks so much better and more polished compared to the previous titles. But the absolute biggest deal for me was the Turkish language support. Huge thanks to the devs for including it! They also added some fresh mechanics that give the gameplay a really nice, different vibe, which I appreciated. But here is the downside: it’s just not that scary anymore. I honestly didn't feel the same tension or horror that I experienced in the first two games. I don't know if it's just me getting used to the series, but it really wasn't a nerve-wracking experience. It also felt way easier than the older games, which kind of killed the challenge. As for the story, it's just kinda "meh." It didn't grab me at all and felt pretty weak overall. At the end of the day, it's visually stunning and the new mechanics are fun, but if you're coming into this expecting the intense, challenging horror of the first two games, you might be a bit disappointed.

Well, not a bad game but not as great as the 2nd game. Finally we got the whole story and the finale. Mina looked better with short hair tho. It takes like 4-5 hours to beat. Got different endings depending on your actions. If you can not achieve the true ending then you do not get a satisfying finale and no info about the whole story so you should better manage it.

I loved the series as a whole, but I feel like every game was flawed in some way. Overall, I feel like there's too much focus on the monsters and chasing and too little on story and characters. This game is no exception when it comes to that. The other thing is, I think this game would have been better without the "multiple endings". For example, I made a bad choice due to a confusing wording in a dialog menu so I got a bad ending. But the "choices" leading to a certain ending or another are not elaborate enough to make you want to reload to an earlier save and go through everything again so that you can get a different ending - I personally just watched the good ending on YouTube.

10/10 game. Not much to say about it. Good conclusion to the series.

its an okay game, i do feel it took a step back from the previous game and they made the qtes worse somehow. Even with that it was a fine game. 7.5/10
