Gothic 1881

A story with a nice twist in the end, albeit it is short.

Utterly Pointless

Gothic 1881 is a very short (less than 2 hours) RPGMaker game that really fails to deliver anything meaningful. For less than $2, I did not expect much, but I have played games that are less than an hour long that have left more of an impact to me than this game does. The ideas are definitely there to be elaborated on, but the overall execution of the ideas is really lackluster and bland. If I had to be perfectly honest, this feels like someone’s college project.

Alright. Since this game got an update ,I deleted my old review and I’m gonna make a new one.

First things first: The game has a nice unique look that I like a lot. The music is pretty too and is fitting for the short cute story.

When I first played the game I ran into an issue I couldn’t fix. Meanwhile I also discovered that the game wouldn’t save if you quit it. I was very pleased when I saw, that the developer saw my review. The update improved the game and i liked the changes. I played the game again and finished it.

More interesting reviews on our Fenol Baron Approves Curator Page

I fell in love with Beyond the Sky literally in the first few minutes of the game. With all that I was somewhat wary of the appearance of the main character in the screenshots, the original graphics, but when the game started, it all became clear and correct at once. Wonderful and skillful presentation of the material, a very correct approach to the presentation of the “dark” fairy tale / The last time the fairy tale so fascinated me in “King’s Quest” Chapter 1, it is very noticeable that the developers are guided by the old-school style of plotting the fairy tale, by playing around in the new fashionable trends.

BRAVO! Wow, I thoroughly enjoyed this game. I just finished it and started to tear up at the end. The story, art, music and puzzles work marvelously together. I am so impressed by how well thought out the entire game was. The puzzles were logical and challenging. I loved that I had to write things down with a pen and paper and really use my brain! Thank you for this breath of fresh air, please make more games like this!!!

The Lost Souls

The Lost Souls

I don’t know where this bloody influx of FPS Creator titles has come from and, frankly, it doesn’t matter so long as we can assemble a team to burn it to the ground but, in the meantime, I sure hope you like your stages like an eight year old girl likes her bowling lanes: separated by GIANT CRASH BARRIERS.

Without fail, every area transition (of which there are only a merciful four) sent me hurtling back to the desktop with the gratingly familiar “FPSC has stopped working” taunt that is becoming far more familiar in my gaming pursuits than is acceptable. Occasionally you get a “root system error” when you try to save as well which I guess is the closest thing this abomination is going to get to variety.

2/10

… I have NO idea how, but this game managed to be worse than its predecessor. Which is quite surprising, given how the predecessor is by far not a good game.

The Lost Souls is the sequel to White Mirror. Supposedly, this time you’re playing with a different character, since the one from the first game seemingly managed to escape. Once again, the one good thing about the game is that it looks good. Everything else is just as bad: barely any challenge, barely any story, barely any sense, barely… Anything.

The Black Heart

The Black Heart

CHECKLIST

☑ A stabby, murderous child

☑ Grudge noises

☑ A tree that can, and will, kick fruit in your face

☑ An undying, genderswapping masochist

☑ A sexy spider lady

☑ A Lovecraftian worm creature that just-so-happens to be purple

The Black Heart features these six vastly different playable characters, each representing a different aspect of horror. They all mesh together into a smooth, satisfying fighting game that is wildly underrated in the mainstream FGC. The story and presentation are top-notch, as is the music and sound design.

A cool looking fighter game with horror and gore? sign me in!

At the time of writing this review I haven’t played the game a whole lot, but what little I did experience was very good!

…for the most part at least.

The only negatives I can think of are: the lack of content, and the lack of characters (although considering the price it’s no wonder that there isn’t as much content as in other fighting games). I understand that this might drive some people away from it. But if you happen to be brave enough I can guarantee that you won’t be dissapointed!

A Chair in a Room : Greenwater

A Chair in a Room : Greenwater

My oh my. This is what I am looking for. I am a big fan of the scare, creep, unsettling type of games. When I got the Vive I would thing to myself, “This would be a great platform for survival horror, overall story telling with a fear filled bend to it.”

This has arrived. This is the first to come along for me and with this quality title so soon in the lifecycle of VR I CANNOT WAIT to see what is in store for the future.

The sound, environments, story, and perfect placement of things that simply either creep you out, unsettle you, or straight up make you scream is superb. It does not beat you over the head with constant thing jumping in your face or anything like that. The creators of this game know the value of subtle well placed situations to make you tense and crazed.

Here it is (if you want it), one of the best games on the Vive to date. It’s roomscale perfection, and one of the fisrt/best titles that ‘scales’ to your playspace. If yours is too small, you are allowed teleportation, but I did not try that, and if you have no room, get a bigger apartment. It’s truly, certifiably, immersively scary. All the environments look great, it renders well. Of all the VR horror games, it surly is the most frightening, and suspenseful, and I am an advanced level 10 journeyman in Virtual Reality, so I should know. I will never forget the sound it makes after a jumpscare scene…

Dinner with an Owl

Saw it was an odd game, decided to stream it with some friends for a laugh.

Originally beat the game in nine in-game days and about 20 mins. Decided to fuck around after that point and see what happens… and see what happens we did, the game has quite a few scares an odd behaviors when you start breaking it and doing things at strange times. Quite some spooks and some laughs… and some glitches like the magic phantom knife… game loves calling you out on your bullshit when you start fucking around.

I absolutely LOVED this game! It’s a short and sweet point and click game with a wonderful little creepy story. Took me half an hour and 11 in-game days to complete! Not sure if you can do it in any less but it was super fun and I really did like it. The artwork was so lovely and it gave me some Rusty Lake vibes (without the puzzles!)

10/10 enjoyed, highly recommend to anybody that wants a nice little interactive story with some lovely music too!

Big props to the devs & co! Would love to see any more games you come out with!

Grotesque Beauty - A Horror Visual Novel

Grotesque Beauty - A Horror Visual Novel

It’s been a while I played any horror novels. It felt nice for a change. I used to be a great horror fan, watched all possible horror films I could only find. It is a bit nostalgic to dive into some scary, gruesome story once in a while. Thanks.

The novel is created in dark colors, visuals look simple but quite atmospheric. The story is short but it contains 30 endings. It’s amazing how many ways exist for you to die at just one night, at one house xD I applaud to the writer’s imagination. I mean the endings are quite diverse, you may survive if you choose right, plus there are some ‘open’ endings I personally enjoy a lot. It’s up to your interpretation to decide what kind of ending it is.

The game starts with a gloomy fog covering the screen, then the silence is disturbed by the vibration of an incoming phone call. It’s your friend Anita, ringing you to make sure that you’re still coming over to her house tonight. She says that she thought you might have changed your mind, but you assure her that you’re still coming over and that you aren’t far from her house.
