Dolls everywhere you look.
Pacify currently offers a choice of three maps. Of course, a different map, a different story and a different killer. In the case of the first variant (Mansion), our adventure begins in front of a large manor house and the night and a heavy downpour with a storm work on the atmosphere. Upon entering the house, the player is not predictably surprised that many doors require a key. The search, collection and pursuit cycle therefore begins. The most important items to collect are dolls. Pacify offers exactly two versions - the “good” and the “bad” ones. There is no confusion, the bad dolls look as if Mattel has decided to do a special limited edition dedicated to black metal. In addition, these creatures giggle mischievously and try to run away from you. Your task is to find all the bad toys and burn them in the basement. Why? In them is the power of the hunting killer. On this map, a tragically deceased girl is guarding her territory, and her death is recorded in pieces on pieces of paper throughout the house. With each evil doll burned, the killer becomes more dangerous, faster, and how many times he seems to have learned to teleport.

Hide and Shriek
Let me dispel some common criticisms:
-Nobody plays this game anymore
This is a halloween-themed game, so yes, for those of you complaining in June that nobody plays this game, jump in around October and you’ll get plenty of games in.
-No updates
Fuck off, this game was perfect the first time and does not need “updates”, this isn’t League of Legends
-Only one map
See above. Also, this was meant to be picked up one time a year. One map is plenty. I have a feeling the people who complain about there only being one map are the same people who only play Final Destination on Smash.

tl;dr version: Is this the kind of game you’ll play for ages and have ranked tournaments with months from now? No. Is it $5 worth of Halloween entertainment for the next month or so? Absolutely!
Hide and Shriek is a very well balanced 1v1 scarematch game where you have to either outscore or outscare (or ideally both) your opponent. The fact that resources are randomly distributed - even the runes you use to craft spells are randomly chosen at the start of the match - means that there’s no one preferred location or ideal loadout you can use. Having to continually scramble about looking for resources and never quite having the right spell components in place keeps it from being too comfortable at any point. (It is admittedly true that sometimes the RNG blesses you with abundant resources of exactly the right kind for your strategy but you can never count on this being true.)

In Silence
Just a terrible game.
Playing as the monster is one of the most boring things I’ve ever done. You wander around waiting for something to pop up on your radar but nothing ever does, and you end up just chasing crows the whole game or randomly stumbling upon a survivor who also has no idea what’s going on, and I don’t mean “has no idea what’s going on” because my group and I don’t know how to play the game, we do, but it’s because the whole premise of “being silent” is flawed. If I don’t want to be found, all I have to do is crouch everywhere I go. This is incredibly slow and boring but I do it because it’s the optimal way to play. If I stand up and walk then the monster knows where I am on their radar and I get found. Now you COULD change the settings so that walking doesn’t make any sounds, but when you do that you give the monster even less things to do. So, if you play as the monster, prepare to walk around doing nothing until someone slips up by stepping on a squeaky toy or someone gets impatient and decides to run. If you play as survivor, your gameplay will be crouching around in the grass making it from one house to another, hoping that it hasn’t been cleared by your team already. Most of the time you’ll check houses that you yourself has already checked, because while the monster has extremely poor vision, they can easily spot out flashlights, so using one is a death sentence. Basically if you get tired of crouching around for 10 minutes and have only found 1 tire and decide to turn on your flashlight to find where the escape vehicle is because the darkness makes you lose all sense of direction… you lose. Any settings you choose to try to make it more fun for the monster ends up making it infinitely more unfair for the survivors. There is no counterplay when the monster finds you.

While it is still a Slenderman game at heart, White Noise 2 does a much better job at being a unique experience than its predecessors, White Noise: A Tale of Horror (Xbox 360 exclusive, delisted) and White Noise Online (delisted on Xbox 360, available on Steam).
The game is a multiplayer experience that can hold up to four Investigators who collect clues, such as tapes, around a dark map with only their flashlights, glowsticks, a compass that somehow points them towards the nearest clue, and their voices. After collecting all eight clues in a regular game, a spinning totem called The Artifact and green objects called Sigils will appear. The Investigators then need to break enough sigils (twice the number of Investigators in the match), which will destroy The Artifact. After it is destroyed, the Creature that has been hunting them down will be permanently banished from the Investigators' plane of existence, rendering mankind safe from that creature and making them victorious.

Deceit
As much fun as I’ve had with the game, I would not recommend it to anyone. This is toxicity at its finest. People grouped up in a discord call tend to just randomly kill you without you even being the infected. I’m guessing it’s because they feel powerful and I qoute ‘at least I have friends’. From a competitive side the matchmaker is really horrible. You get thrown into games with people who are teamed up, and I’m not talking teamed up as in infected teamed up. Literally you can play solo against a team of 5 people who are in a discord call, and your fate is in their hands they can do whatever they want to you. If I play solo , other people should play solo too. I’m saying this because it would avoid stat padding, and it defeats the reason of having stats, because people who ‘have friends’ are gonna have the best stats in this game. I don’t feel like it’s up to me as the end-user to have to record and send/e-mail evidence of toxicity to anyone. I want to have fun while playing a game, I don’t want to take the hassle of being an administrator and catching toxic players who stat pad with their friends through discord calls. Until you people(the developers) fix this issue, it’s not going to be a fun/competitive game, at least not for people who ‘don’t have friends’ and want to play this game solo. Believe me I have nothing against playing with friends, but make is so that it’s teams of people versus teams of other people, don’t make me suffer as a solo player because other people decided to play with their friends and communicate to each other who’s the infected and who’s the innocent through discord.

[EDIT]
I had since been unbanned from when I wrote this review and was incredibly excited for the Halloween update, however I am still going to have to downvote this game once again as the newest update is horrid. Here are my thoughts regarding the update:
Upon reading these patch notes, I will be quitting Deceit for good.
Making ranked pay2play (you must own 3 of 4 terrors to queue up, meaning you have to buy the Werewolf or Vampire to even play ranked) is the most unbelievably stupid thing I have ever read as it is the only real way to experience this game, normals are filled with brand new players and people who don’t talk on microphone which defeats the purpose of the game. I say this as someone who owns the Vampire DLC, however I refuse to support a model that prohibits any and all players from being included in the REAL game.

White Noise Online
White Noise Online is multiplayer-based Slender-type game, by which I mean it’s a horror game where you go around collecting eight randomly placed objects while avoiding a monster that’s hunting you. Slenderman isn’t actually involved here, and there’s some twists to the formula here to keep it interesting, but the baseline is that this is an online co-op Slender-type game, and that fact will either sell you or turn you away from the game.
You play as one of over 20 characters in some very dark environment collecting cassettes. Strange statues line the environments, and a strange glowing monster chases you through the depths of darkness, with an intent to kill. However, the story here is rather non-existent, with the only narrative coming from an opening scene before the title screen, and the audio content that plays on the cassettes themselves when you pick them up.

The concept of the game is decent. You wander around with friends and try to find the tapes before the monster kills you all off. But, the execution is pretty terrible.
First off, I’ll share my personal wackiest moment in the game. We were traveling around the map, over half way done. I go through a door, but alas it was trapped door. The game bugged and I got stuck. I spun around looking helplessly while a friend came over to inspect what was going on. I see the monster coming on the other side! Oh no! Then I start sinking into the ground to where I’m about face level with my friend’s shoes. Then… CATAPULT into the ceiling. I’m free! I take off running and the monster was apparently stunned by the remarkable stunt and didn’t instant kill me. However, other two friends get loss in that area and we go back to get them. I get stuck in the same spot. The monster didn’t have much mercy this time and reduced me to whatever he turns you into rather fast. My friend calmy walks through the doorway stepping on my body without issue. GG Doorway of anti-blonde Shaggy motives.

Damned
Really good and fresh (at least to me) idea.
I spent A LOT of time playing this game, BUT it has some downsides that will be explained later in this review.
The rough idea is being a 1 vs 4 cat and mouse gameplay that’s terrifying.
The 4 survivors can’t defend themselves with weapons, but with caution, quick reaction and coordination. Their goal is to reach the safe room which is locked down. In order to unlock it you have to find the silver key that spawned in a random location on the map. So your ultimate task is to find the silver key!

I’m writing this now, still a little stressed and in the throws of an adrenaline high caused by my friends. First and foremost, play this game with a group of friends who are bad at the game along side you and can get better with you. Playing with randoms online will not help you learn in this HIGH stress environment and the current how-to guides online are only so helpful.
Here’s what you get:
You’re one of the survivors in the haunted hotel/asylum/hospital, and your on a scavenger hunt for keys to open the various locked doors on the map. As you creep around, you deal with randomly generated hauntings that do aweful things like make the dark screen darker, mysterious spooky noises play in your ear, or keyboard keys can even be disabled. All temporary.

Rake
Okay, so the concept of the game is pretty straight forward; You are a biologist with an invested interest in the unknown, hunting a supernatural monster known as the “Rake”.
Overral & Single Player Pros:
ONE: More often that not, you’ll be jump-scared by the pigs during the day and by the Rake at night.
TWO: The enviroment in which you are hunting the Rake is overabundant with flora (The vegetation), and it is incredibly easy to get lost, especially at night.
THREE: There are certain locations throughout the Rake’s World where you can loot extra ammuntion, health packs and weapons, ie, fiearms and bear traps. These locations are tricky to locate, especially in multiplayer as it is night time 24/7.

Prepare for the longest review I will probably ever write. Mostly because I can, it’s an enjoyable foray, but needs serious work.
[Warning; sailor talk and potential (minor) spoilers below]
(As of 10/20/2015,) I’m giving this project a very tentative yes and thumbs up. As has been said before, and I completely agree, this game has a lot of positive elements going for it right from the start. For so little content, the idea is extremely fetching, and the replay value is surprisingly high, even WITH the ending being what it is (without bothering with detailed spoilers, beating the game in its' current state should result in a chuckle, smirk, or at least a raised eyebrow).
