The Gap (2023)

You are a father looking for your daughter who has been trapped in a house. You arrive at the house and have to wander around hoping random jump scares trigger. Not much to the story and then suddenly the game is over. There isn't any dialogue beyond the introduction plot dump. PROS: * Couple of good jump scares * Decent spooky atmosphere * Creepy entities * Simplistic M&K controls CONS: * Hard to see. You have to turn on all the lights in the house, but even sometimes it's a bit too dark to see * Not fully sure what triggers the jump scares or story progression, so you're wandering around not knowing what to do * Only things you can interact with are doors, light switches and the TV * No Controller support * Story is lack luster * Very short game (it just kinda ended) https://www.seravium.com https://twitch.tv/seravium

Uh. Not sure what I've just played. You walk into a house. trigger some events by aimlessly wandering around, apparently looking for your long lost daughter. And that's about as much story as there is. There was one jumpscare that got me, but overall it was quite boring. The atmosphere was right. Dark rooms and corridors, creepy sounds, enough tries to spook you. But it all fell flat. And what was going on with the lighting? Objects lit by a lightsource don't go dark when you move away from the light. In here it did. Really weird. Also don't remember when or why I bought this. Guess there's some real horror in that.

Without a clear objective, I found myself wandering through a house that seemed random; the premise that protagonist's daughter was inside relied entirely on the protagonist's vague haunch, with absolutely no evidence to back him up. The sight of his daughter(s) simply standing near the living room sofa was far more startling than any sudden jump scare. My interest in the game began to wane once I went downstairs into the basement. Even though I was following the light source, I had no idea where I was going, and before I knew it, I was just walking in circles.

This game is VERY indie but I didn't mind it. It is a very short walking-simulator and the story is straight forward and just ends! The free roam mode makes zero sense with a random jumpscare thrown in. The only reason why I like this game is due to the atmosphere. I liked the sound design's tension. Paid like a dollar for it, so I can't complain too much!

I liked the game except the aimless wandering inside the house. If only there were objectives for the player, the story could've flown better. Good game though!

This was ok you basically walk around and trigger the jump scares.
