5/10 It's not good, but it's also not bad. Very janky at times which has it's pros and cons. I enjoyed it as a Devour fan but can't say i'd recommend it.1 found this helpful
Quite basic but honestly not bad. The Watchers is about 2 siblings who need to bring 10 cursed items to a central altar in order to solve the mystery of their mother's disappearance. Each cursed item has its own unique area and stealth puzzle, where you have to avoid cultists who are following predictive pathing (and sometimes just staring at a wall,) pick up the item, bring it back to the central room and hear a corny one-liner. Surprisingly tense and fun when you figure out the intended path. Though it has a few bugs, for such a measly price its certainly worth it.
not my cup of tea, feels like cheap stealth game
Lowkey, not even that bad lmao
A fun little coop game to play with your duo! I see a lot of reviews complaining about puzzles, but they're not really all that bad. It took us a little bit to figure out some of them but we eventually figured out strategies for them all. They definitely require you to think outside the box a bit sometimes.
Fun culty-vibes two player co-op game! Some of the puzzles were a lot trickier than I had expected and took a while to figure out but it was a great story-line and I like the architecture of the house lol. My brother and I played this together and there were points in the game where both of us couldn't figure out how to evade the watchers and needed to consult the web but honestly I give the developers such props for creating the puzzles! They were all quite unique and memorable! The watcher growls are iconic as well haha. 10/10 would recommend
