The Dreaded Hut

Allow me to preface all of what I'm going to say with this: This game is clearly made with love, and for a studio cracking into horror like this, I'm genuinely impressed with this first game, any criticism I give is purely meant to be taken constructively! I will do my best to avoid spoilers for the game as well, but there will be some! Pros: Excellent design of models. The hair and faces of the main characters are well made and very realistically designed and I can tell a lot of energy went into them, although the facial animations are a little lacking. The monsters are also horrifying to look at and even hold up upon close inspection. Well done! Atmosphere: This part is excellent, the fog and mists really contribute to the feeling of dread in the main world and do well to obscure without totally blinding the player! Story: The story itself is relatively passable. I found myself engaged in the world and honestly curious what came next! Cons: Lack of clear direction: After certain segments of the game it can be unclear where exactly you are meant to go, especial because the fog can make areas blend together. A cursor or toggleable compos of some kind would have been very help…

The Dreaded Hut is an impressive Filipino survival horror game with great visuals, environments, characters, and a surprisingly expansive world. I really appreciated how strongly it incorporates Filipino culture. Unfortunately, I encountered quite a few bugs during my playthrough, some of which affected my experience and progression. The developers have already released patches addressing several issues, which is great to see, but there are still some technical problems that need attention. The gameplay itself is straightforward survival horror with exploration, item collecting, notes, and combat. The pacing is a little slow at first, but the game gradually opens up as you progress. Considering it was developed in around six months, the scope is genuinely impressive. I also really appreciate how involved the developers are with their community. One of them even joined my stream and helped me troubleshoot some of the issues I encountered. Despite the bugs, I enjoyed the game and believe it has a lot of potential. I’d currently give it a 6.8/10. I would recommend it, but I’d suggest waiting for a few more updates so the developers have time to polish and fix the remaining issues…

game is kinda a banger, ngl. it's definitely indie and budget, but i feel like it works. like old horror games on ps3 or something. the facial animation on the characters is sweet too, probably better than aaa games. only got like an hour into it, seems fun so far. not that hard, almost like a walking simulator with action. filipino silent hill right here

cool atmosphere, loved the jail sequence

You can really see how much heart and passion the devs put into this game. The graphics are outstanding and the story-telling is gripping. I haven't been able to finish the entire game as of now, but from what I've played so far, I can tell you will like this game a lot if you enjoy challenging PvE combat combined with puzzles and lore exploration. One recommendation I do have to further improve the game is to have difficulty selection. The current state of the game feels like an Intermediate level, but as a Beginner gamer, I'd love to be able to explore the story & lore without dying fifty times because I significantly lack combat skills LOL. But otherwise, it's overall a GREAT game and I did get hooked! I plan on playing it even more to get past the enemies and discover the mysteries of Sitio Malig. It's a great game to get lost in after a long day. Very immersive and attention-grabbing at every point and there's never a dull moment.
