✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's atmospheric horror design, sound quality, and striking visuals enhanced by the VHS filter, with the opening sequence and immersive elements earning particular appreciation. However, common complaints include the game being too short, confusing story elements especially toward the end, technical issues like poor performance and crashes, slow walking speed, overly high mouse sensitivity without proper settings, and insufficient sound design in some areas. While some find it worth experiencing as a brief indie horror experience, others feel disappointed by how the second

This is a decent short scary game. The atmosphere is amazing, but I am a little confused with the story, especially with one of the endings. The sound design and models are really good. The real complaints I have are that the game is a little too short and the player's walking speed is a but too slow. Also, the game runs poorly sometimes and occasionally crashes. Other than that, pretty solid game.

I really love horror games, but the atmosphere in this one is out of this world. Of course, I will not post any spoilers because you can get a really good taste of it from the trailer. I definitely recommend this if you are on the lookout for a great horror game. :)

Cooking Class First Course is a walking simulator that starts out really great, but by the end I was just confused and disappointed. The first half of the game is really cool! I like how at the beginning your vision is blurry and you have to put on your glasses to see clearly. It's a really great start to a game like this where immersion is important(although the UI is also blurry, which is a bad idea considering it's the first thing the player sees and has to interact with). The other half of this game is just weird, if not just plain stupid (I won't spoil it). The visual style is probably the best part of this game, even with some less impressive models the game looks amazing with the VHS filter! But even with some serious flaws I still recommend this game. It's really worth a try (especially for that price!). Just play it! I also love how interactive and personal the end credits are. I hope that the dev will improves his storytelling and gamedev skills so he can create another hidden gem!

The storytelling is intriguing and I love the tension it creates throughout the game. It's a nice indie gem!

A very short and inexpensive indie-horror/walking-simulator set in Canada and also set in a recycled Unity house that's been used a million times. There are a few choices to make before ending the game but they don't really lead anywhere since two of them are just leaving your house and another is getting caught. Yes this is a prologue but it could have left more to be desired. My two main complaints is the mouse sensitivity is ridiculously high without any settings and still highly when I lower my DPI a lot. The other complaint is the lack of sound design. The game is way too quiet and could have used background ambience like the lightning storm? Or footsteps? All-in-all it's a very short and average walking-simulator and I give it thumbs up because of the price tag.
Not recommended Aug 7, 2024
Unfortunately this was just unplayable for me. Whatever is in that backyard/fog area absolutely destroyed my stream and started lagging everything on my PC. It's way too heavy to render even though I can play literally anything else on my current setup.
