Of every horror game I have ever played, none of them have genuinely startled me. Until now. That was the bottom-of-the-nutsack-barrel jumpscare. The absolute epitome of bad jumpscares, just fucking ambushed by a chupacabra with a split second of a loud noise and it made me jump in my fucking seat like a 13-year-old girl who just saw an overgrown, uncircumcised penis for the first time. I cannot believe I actually just jumped at this Fear Of Nightmares assfest. I have played so many horror games - some of them good, some actual good horror games - but jumpscares have never been an effective means of startling me. You can usually predict them and they're just not startling for the most part. Until that one. I took my hand off the mouse for one second to scratch my eyebrow, and then all of a sudden I'm getting a fucking handshake from a werewolf and it's really loud. That was the absolute most basic jumpscare you could have, countless horror games have had that same thing, a fucking Google image and a loud sound of someone slamming a toilet seat down. But it never works. Except this one somehow. The perfect storm of horrible jumpscares, horrible game design, and just downright incompetence, but it came together and meshed into this beautiful and embarrassing moment where it actually fucking startled me really hard. I can't refund the game now, now it's earned the purchase, so I'm keeping that in my library, but I'm not playing it anymore, it's not a fun game. It's a fucking horrible game. But I am so incredibly embarrassed right now, wow.

You can climb any hill by repeatedly hitting the jump button. A werewolf occasionally appeared and murdered me, he even found me atop the highest mountains.

10/10 for the jumpscare, I can't really speak for the rest of the game.

Since my initital review, the developer has now added a splash screen, so at least new players can see what keys they need. He has also made a walkthrough video for the game. At least he shows willing to improve his game so this is to be commended.

Basically this game is an ugly mess. So the graphics, are for the most part subpar, with some extremely ugly environmentals and weird glowing yellow objects all over the place. The controls are also somewhat confusing. Right click to activate your lamp, and using T and Y to turn your cursor on and off?

Also you lamp only illuminates a small area around you, you might as well leave it off for all the differance it makes.

But most broken seems to be the AI - no matter what I tried the werewolf would instakill me. Each and every time. In fact I never made it out of the starting area, so never did see any of the lore that was promised.

The only positive was the interesting opening cutscene and inoffensive audio.

TLDR - even if this game is only 80pence there are better free horror games on steam. I rarely refund for such a low cost game, but this time I think I might take steam up on the offer.

The game is not bad at all, I enjoyed it and at .99 cents you can't beat that price. Also the Dev. is very active and very responsive.

Nice creepy outdoor atmosphere.
But i can't get out the first area because an "invisible" monster always instantly hits me.
Didn't try further what i'm supposed to do. There are video guides by the developer but i was to lazy to check them out yet.

Dear Mass Effect Andromeda Fan Base,

This game gave an erection that lasted longer than 4 hours. Worth every penny.

Greetings, it is I, the developer of this game. This game is a complete masterpiece in every single way, trust me on this. I have put brilliant symbolism everywhere in this game, from the flat tree leaves symbolizing this games 1 dimensional gameplay, to the suicide at the start of the game symbolizing what you will do after you play this game. I also happen to have a phd in theoretical physics, which is why the physics of the game is so kickass. You can go through beds and be blocked by a hat, because that always happens in real life. All of the fake news critics will never understand the grand spectacle I have created, please play this game and don't pirate it (hint hint) because I earned that one dollar from each one of you.

The most broken game I have ever played. There are only two difficulty levels easy and nightmare and don't bother with the last one as it will make the game unplayable once you have reached the third level. If you do reach to third level on easy, you won't be able to solve the amazing maze of the bugged white monsters as there is absolutely no mechanic or way to understand how to sneak past them. I have tried over 50 times to make past this level and got no further than a section where the monster is going around in tiny circles around a small opening which I guess is where the player has to go. From what I could tell from the game files it has 11 levels but they serve no purpose because you can't even get past the third one. Don't even bother using the lantern as it is useless because it attracts some of the monster types. Overall this game offers you nothing other than a good scare to pull on your friends if they are clueless about the game.

DUmbest game I have ever played. Not a single feature of interest. I felt brain cells escap[ing from my body whilst playing. I really liked the part when the fucking stupid loud bitch demon flew out of nowhere with no warning and made me shout ballsack on my family friendly stream. pressing charges, die, stop making games, and please delete. fuk

I will level with you. This is not a good game, but it is the best $0.99 you will ever spend. What will you buy with $0.99? A cup of coffee? Something out of a vending machine? Obviously the game is cheaply made and buggy, but I legitimately yelled at some of the jumpscares. Because the game is virtually a black hole with the only guide being a dev made video guide that is blocked on youtube it really adds to the experience. Just beat the game by jumping up the sides of mountains and using the 'R' key to see interactable items through walls.

I had to press Y to unlock my mouse so I could pick up a lantern. I then had to press T to lock my mouse to the center of the screen.

I asked for a refund of this game and I put this on my reason: "Bruh, what is this? I played this game then a god damn demon put his balls in my face screaming like he was going in labour. I'm not transophobic but jesus christ... Best jumpscare but worst horror game 1/10 and the 1 is because of the jumpscare"

Absolutely one of the greatest games of our time. This developer poured their heart and soul into this game. They took all all the other game devs of our time and raw dogged them. This game puts others to complete shame. Elden Ring, an amazing game, has now become dull to me as I have been blessed with this complete masterpiece. This game deserves every second of your time. For a mere $0.99 this game provides a person with the part in their soul that they have been missing. Nothing in today's world can compare to this work of art.
