✦ AI summary

The Contact is a short horror walking simulator that players found visually decent and unsettling in atmosphere, though most felt it was too brief (15-30 minutes) and sparse in content to justify its price, with complaints about tedious backtracking, deliberately slow movement, and a lack of jump scares. While some found it enjoyable enough for a quick experience, the consensus suggests waiting for a sale rather than paying full price, given the limited gameplay and empty rooms that don't add to the experience.

Neat game! Sideways thumb for the price. Did I enjoy myself? Sure. Is it worth $2.99? Nope. Standard walking sim horror, so there is some tedious back tracking until you can find the trigger items. Luckily, the area is so small that it doesn't take too long. I was able to complete this experience in less than 30 minutes and I went slow, so I'm guessing the average person will probably take about 15-20 minutes. An interesting quirk is the astoundingly slow yet noisy walking. Everywhere you go, you're stomping so loud like you're working your butt off to take every step but you move at the speed of a limbless giraffe. XD Solid game, sorta interesting premise, slightly below average spoops but they're still in there! Because it's so short and very basic for a horror walking sim experience, I'd say to purchase it for at least 75% off. $2.99 is pretty steep for what it currently offers. Game on me hearties! AAARRRRRR!

Visually the game looks good however there is a lot of rooms that you can enter but there isn't anything inside of them besides the room where you need to find the phone. The game itself is unsettling since you don't know what to expect but there isn't any jump scares just creepy encounters with a ghost like being in the bathroom, the shadows of someone, and noises. If you went straight to the objectives providing that you know where they are you could probably beat this game in under 10 mins. it is very short and I felt like it could of been longer. Overall if you want a quick horror game then I guess it is ok just don't expect much https://youtu.be/tXlfwhAXh3c
