[h1] Short horror story with fisherman's biggest fear, NOT FISH... but levitating corpse. Hide under table and you're safe so don't worry about the monster. AI follows you but it's kinda easy to hide from it and the only risk taken is when searching. Grab necessary items and quickly get to the boat in order to escape. Gameplay is spooky, with good visuals but AI is breaking the whole experience. Check in the mirror to see what's behind you is cool but buggy nature leave nothing but levitating deadly corpse behind. You might wanna check it out if you like unusual horrors. [/h1]6 found this helpful
[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. Game rating: 6/10 [/b] [code][b]---- Check out my curator page to discover more horror games: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45837348/] The Horror Archives [/url] [/b][/code]4 found this helpful
10 minutes long ok free horror game.3 found this helpful
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.1 found this helpful
Yes.
Great little game. Absolutely loved the mirror mechanic!
