Violent Horror Stories: anthology

was so excited to see NINAH demo in here after having played it and buying this without any idea. overall pretty incredible to play short games from super indie devs and designers in a collection like this. All Along The Toon Tower was the surprise hit for me, didn't expect to be so engaged by a game with such a simple interface but i got SUPER into it. all of the others were really unique and it just always feels amazing to get to interact with art people worked hard to make.

Randomizing and clearing my backlog - 45/343 Awful.... Besides the last game which became a real game, was such a waste of time.

A pretty fair-to-decent anthology pack. The Toon game was a good mix of puzzle and slight stressful thinking-on-your feet (but not too stressful), would like to see a full game like that or from the developers. The mechanics are easy to learn but could be harder to master based on different puzzle and defense mechanics. Sensation was ok, there was more begging to be shown. Very short and basic so far. Ate an Old Man's Liver is Brober Bro's typical style, I liked it but my bias for the devs is evident from following them for a while. And No, Im Not a Human was actually a surprise for me, didn't know the demo/prototype was in this anthology but it did solidify my cautious opinions about the full released game. Some things feel ambiguous/too hard to tell and almost too 'just gotta be lucky!(?)', but it's atmosphere and writing felt phenomenal. Was cautious on getting the full game for a while now, but after playing this demo, I actually do feel more confident to buy and play the full game even with the ambiguous/hard to tell 'tells' of who is a visitor

I will leave a review on each game as I play them. 8/10 No, I am not Human, I'm a ... I have played the demo for the full release game. The full release has a lot of updates so the characters are randomized in who is a visitor and who isn't. Adding to the replayablility of the updated game. This one is still a fun play. A very cool game with nice art work and music. Worth a play. 6/10 All Along the Toon Tower Side scrolling puzzle game. I wouldn't consider it a horror game. Even though it is not my kind of game but I thought it was good. Took be about 25 minuets to complete. 5/10 Sensation A interesting point and click game. I like the design of the game, but it feels quite incomplete. Only took about 10 minuets or so to finish. 6/10 I Ate Old Man's Liver, Now This B**** Is Mine Quick play, not exactly sure what is happening. I like this dev's other games.

“All along the toon tower” was particularly good, I have mixed feelings about the others. The “old man’s liver” one was, in my opinion, especially bad. I could see how some may love it, but it relies more on shock and absurdity than actually engaging content. As for the other two, they have both good and bad qualities. With all of that said, I would absolutely recommend this game collection for $3. You may find the games more entertaining than I did, and I again must say that the cartoon based game was fun and challenging.
