Wayward Harbor

[h2] The horror game that makes you feel like you're parking a car [/h2] [b] The game uses a surprisingly unique and clever mechanic: you must rely on a mirror to be able to see the enemy. The lore is almost inexistent, the real focus goes to the objective, the monster and the scenario. There's a lot of inspiration in H.P. Lovecraft's work, which is clear by the references to him in the environment. I can't say I did enjoy the way you open the doors, you gotta push them instead of pressing a button to open, which is kinda frustrating. The main objective is to get into a boat and escape. It's short, can be beaten in less than 30 minutes Overall, it’s a solid game with one of the most creative mechanics I’ve seen recently. It takes some practice to get used to it; once you do, the game becomes engaging, but if you don’t, it can feel more frustrating than rewarding.

10 minutes long ok free horror game.

This recommendation is because the game is free, and the use of a mirror is a cool idea for a game; however, I didn't love it. I found listening was more helpful than the mirror, so I ended up not really using it which was kind of the point. I was hoping the mirror would be useful for fighting, stunning, or delaying the monster somehow instead of just a run and hide game. I really expected it to help you find items like the keys... maybe a sparkle that you can see only with the mirror? My expectations may have been too high. TLDR; good idea, worth a try, but the demo was enough game time with this game for me.

I like the concept, but the monster is too hard to avoid. There's repeatedly pathways that if the moster feels like hanging out in, you just can't progress besides dieing and hopfully getting through the pathway. I could not get pass the moster at the top of the stair way after getting the boat battery thing because half way up the stairs there's a trigger to teleport the moster to the top of the stairs and there is just no way to get around him because he is teleported to right where you need to go. So I couldn't finish the game and a third of it is sitting in one spot hoping that the moster leaves where you need to go and then it just doesn't. Cool idea, gave me a bit of a headache. I'm not sure if the devloper played through the whole game because it was really frustrating an impossible at certain parts.

Yes.

Great little game. Absolutely loved the mirror mechanic!
