I can honestly see this game having a lot of potential if it was polished but in its current state I cant recommend it. The game starts in what I am assuming is Chinese but there isn’t a whole lot of options so its not hard to figure out how to switch it too English. Middle button on the home screen brings up options, button on the left in the options menu switches the game to English.

The controls are really hard to get a feel for. Jumping is incredibly delayed by about a second after pressing the spacebar which makes it very difficult to try to jump on anything. Running is slow and you can watch your character take 3 or 4 steps in place before moving forward so it always feels like you are walking through sand. The camera angle will sometimes bounce off of objects and other times it will clip through them so you are always dealing with a shaky camera. You cant fire your gun from the hip you always have to be zoomed in and while zoomed you not only move slower but you can no longer strafe. The biggest annoyance is the sound you make when you run which in my opinion is way to loud and repetitive and doesn’t sound like foot steps but more like someone knocking on wood.

Hello Neighbor

Hello Neighbor

Wow. What a wasted idea. This was a really good concept that just got botched nearly from top to bottom. I wanted to like this so much and was excited when it was in development, but…wow. It just utterly fails at everything it was trying to do. Instead of a stealth/horror game it is a puzzle game with poor physics, bad controls, and infuriating puzzles.

The controls are questionable at best. I couldn’t find a way to reliably map controls to certain keys like the arrows, numpad keys, etc. Maybe I missed something in the control mapping section but it just didn’t seem to work - whatever, I can deal with that. Regardless of key mappings, the actual movement and physics are just a hot mess. On more than one occasion I’d be running and I’d walk over a item like a piece of trash or a lamp and I’d just get thrown 20 feet in the air or across the map. Just utter physics failures on every level. Jumping is horrendous. If you hit the side of a wall or ledge you bounce off of it like a rubber ball. At least the same goes for the neighbor who jumps like a circus acrobat and frequently falls from heights because of the same ridiculous physics. All of this wouldn’t be much of a problem if the game wasn’t littered with jumping puzzles. Because nothing screams stealth/horror like jumping puzzles. Which brings me to…

Reviewing this game is somewhat difficult. The game has a bit of a complicated development history, with a Pre-Alpha, four Alphas, and two Betas, each completely different from each other, and I’m not even entirely sure where to start. There’s a lot to say, so I’ll try to separate things into categories.

Disclaimer: I followed this game, and its development, primarily from CaptainSauce’s YouTube playthrough. I decided to get the game myself because I wasn’t satisfied that he found all the answers. That being said, I had prior puzzle knowledge, which, from what I understand, is one of the largest complaints of the game. Keep that in mind as we move on.

I really enjoyed this take on a horror game. At least it has a story unlike others that just thrust you in with a flashlight and just run. Not spoiling but I enjoyed the ending as well. Came as a bit of a shock. The bosses were fun as well. Overall, thoroughly pleasant experience!

The Ghost - Task of the Ghost Hunters

The Ghost - Task of the Ghost Hunters

The Ghost - Task of the Ghost Hunters is a single player. Your task is to find the ghosts and solve puzzles. The puzzles will be an important part of The Ghost - Task of the Ghost Hunters game. There will be several levels and the levels will also have different sizes. There will be from small houses to larger multi-storey houses, which will also result in several puzzles to be solved.

Difficulty levels:

There will be 3 different levels of difficulty, which increase the realism of the game. If you are given tips every now and then with the difficulty level easy, you have to fight your way around the house alone and without tips with the difficulty level. The level of difficulty of the mind also depends on it. With an easier level of difficulty, you can hide from the ghost even more easily when the ghost is chasing you. If the level of difficulty is difficult, you will not be able to hide so easily any more and you will find the spirit more difficult.

  • Graphics: There will be a realistic graphic implementation

  • Levels: There are more than 5 levels in which you have to hunt the ghosts. There will be different houses in over 5 levels. There will be houses from small to large.

  • Puzzles: There will be more than 10 different puzzles to solve. The number of puzzles depends on the size of the house

  • Difficulty level: There are 3 different levels of difficulty (easy, medium, difficult). With each level of difficulty, the aggressiveness of the mind increases and the puzzles become more difficult to solve.

  • Ghosts: There will be more than 5 ghosts. Every mind has different abilities.

  • Sound: A realistic sound makes the horror experience more intense.

Death courier

Death courier

A brilliant take on Death Stranding but with a far more streamlined and coherent plot. A masterclass in story telling that puts Kojima’s comedy of concepts to bitter shame. If you look close enough, there’s beauty in monotony. Also, pleased to see the lack of obnoxious product placement.

Game sucks, no boobs. JK Fly AF LmAo

Dread X Collection 3

Dread X Collection 3

I really enjoyed the 2nd collection, but this one blows it away. 12 games plus the castle hub, and I can’t call a single one of them bad. Let’s get into some details:

The Castle

Bringing back the spooky-cute aesthetic of Spooky’s Jump Scare Mansion, Kira’s castle is an adorable little hub-world complete with it’s own inhabitants and puzzles. As you complete games, the castle gets spookier, but never reaching full horror. The music in the castle is great, too! This is also where we get to hear the overarching story, which does tie in to both other collections as well as to individual games from those collections.

If you’ve read my other Dread X reviews, you know the deal: I list each game and my thoughts as well as my favorite. Ratings are Very good, good, meh, bad, and horrible.

| Name | Dev(s) | Rating | Comments |

| Puzzle House | Dread XP | Good | It’s not as good as the one from the previous game. The previous game let you explore everything in one go, meaning you could finish all the puzzles and then play all the games back to back. In this one, you’re forced to play some games to make progress. Namely, the first game opens some doors, and the 10th game clears a pathway that’s inaccessible for most of the game, allowing you to get the candle to play the 12th game. I had to look up a walkthrough to figure this out, and it’s a good thing I did, cause otherwise I would have spent hours looking for the last candle. Take notes, Dread XP. Avoid limiting freedom of exploration, cause different people have different playstyles. Some like a story/gameplay lasagna, and some like to keep their peas and mashed potatoes separate so they can eat em one at a time. Yes, there’s free play mode, but I consider the overworld hub to be its own game and as such would also like to play that separately instead of interspersing its puzzles with the other games. Do the puzzles, play the games in a marathon, finish the story. The castle design itself is very pretty and atmospheric, according to the credits, it was made by Akuma Kira. You know, the guy who made Lost in Vivo? Epic. |

Z-Blood Mission

Z-Blood Mission

Edited after release 0.2.0

Finally! Controls are now customizable!

The game is improving rapidly! Now I don’t get stuck in strange places. The gameplay has become much more dynamic and fluid. It is much more fun to play with mouse aiming. Last time I wrote that the game lacks in-game tips and they were added in the following release. It is very gratifying that the developers listen so carefully to the players opinions. And a special thank for the extra kicks. Now it is not only a horror shooter, but also a bit of a fighting game. Amused the opportunity to kick zombies on the ground!

Real player with 16.0 hrs in game

Has the potential to be a fun Dreamcast-era-ish zombie game with some improvements.

My thoughts are:

  • Fix visual glitches

  • Iron out physics

  • Reduce HP of the miniboss enemies

  • Add at least 2 more levels

  • Offer an alternate creepy ost

  • Include controller support

  • Consider dropping the price to $5 until more levels are added and other issues sorted out
