YONESAWARA HOSPITAL

I did not like this game. No cursor to indicate what can be interacted with. If there was one it is blinded by the flashlight. There is a mouse like thing that indicates an object can be interacted with or taken but it doesn't have an exact spot. You have to play with it. Also there is no mention that there is something that will chase you. I hate games like this and would not have purchased it if I had known. Unfortunately I played just over tow hours before encountering a creature so no refund for me. Be aware, if you do not enjoy games where you die or are being chased, avoid this like the plague. No pun intended.

Yonesawara Hospital plays it safe with a tried and tested formula, but the team still managed to make me feel unsafe with some excellent soundscape work and worldbuilding. Tell me if this sounds at all familiar. You play as an investigator who receives a tip about the mysterious disappearance of the hospital director of Yonesawara Hospital 10 years ago. After the portentous phone call, you feel compelled to step foot into a creepy, abandoned clinic armed with nothing but a flashlight! If your mind doesn’t immediately jump to Outlast and the plethora of clones inspired by it, then invite me over some time to the rock you’ve been living under and I’ll tell you all about the world of indie survival horror! Though the setup of Yonesawara Hospital is nothing original, the team does some really good work with the carcass of this bludgeoned horse. For starters, the environment of the hospital is so well thought out. Not only is it creepy as hell due to the fact that the only light source is your wimpy flashlight, but the team also stuck to a cohesive, specific theme that puts the conspicuously absent hospital director unnervingly front and center throughout your entire exploration. What …

I love this game! Not exactly a walking simulator, not exactly survival horror, but I was still really engaged and immersed in the atmosphere and story. The backstory of what was happening in the hospital actually freaked me out a lot. I love that there is no music during your playthrough because the audio design of the game creeped me out in a subtle way. Not counting the chase sequences, the scares were few and far-between but that's what made them so effective. Always happy to recommend a short, atmospheric, well-made first person horror game like this.

very addictive game, successful atmosphere, successful enemy chasing phases. If there is a flaw, it is perhaps the game's lighting, which focuses a little too much on low light, perhaps also to cover the not exactly very detailed graphics. To have the two endings, 4 hours of play are enough, given the price, this aspect is also fine. gioco molto coinvolgente, atmosfera ben riuscita, fasi di chasing del nemico ben riuscite. Se c'è una pecca è forse l'illuminazione del gioco, che punta un po' troppo sulla scarsa luminosità, forse anche per coprire la grafica non proprio dettagliatissima. Per avere i due finali bastano 4 ore di gioco, visto il prezzo, va bene anche questo aspetto.

Plot's pretty good- some slight grammatical errors but otherwise, really enjoyed this one :D

A solid atmosphere, some misses on the translations but the biggest grievance I have is with the monster design. Overall i'd say it's worth $15 CAD but could use improvements. [spoiler] When you finally get killed by the monster it loses all the horror atmosphere the game built up because the monster looks too funny. [/spoiler]
