The Dive

The Dive

My recommendation of this game is limited to people who enjoy playing experimental indie titles. The Dive is not a good horror game, but it is certainly an interesting experience.

Approach it as if you were to approach a bizarre interactive art house film rather than an indie horror game. The game is cheap and short, but it is rich on emotions.

The game begins with an exposition: there is a submarine sending a distress signal. The submarine most likely belongs to deep sea miners of a very rare, very expensive mineral. The main character is an opportunist who plans to dive, find the submarine, get those minerals, and escape before a proper rescue crew arrives to the distress signal. He arms himself with a speargun and a diving compass.

Rather silly and too short, but the atmosphere is great. However, I’m a little biased because I love underwater horror games. The first section of might take a few tries to complete (you’ll know when you get there), but overall it was an enjoyable game. I hope the dev will make another underwater horror game in the future with a bit more depth (pun intended).

This felt more like a proof of concept than a fleshed out game, but as a proof of concept, it wasn’t too interesting. The game amounted to two escape-related challenges, the first setting up the second. I can imagine this being part of a larger stealth horror experience, but I’d recommend the developers brainstorm more novel or unique gameplay experiences, set up with a stronger storyline in mind. I’m sure I will eventually recommend the game, but not in its current state.

This felt more like a teaser demo to introduce something larger in the future. Sadly it’s not but props that developer does warn it’s a short experience of 15 minutes. I opted to refund but would recommend on sale for .49 cents.

Food for thought.

  • Walking was loud with no option to adjust.

  • Crouching to get into hiding places was super slow.

Hidden Shelter

Hidden Shelter

My full playthrough is here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GB9VkOjgjQA

I am giving a thumbs up for the effort. Out of the huge amount of really bad scary games out there, and the tons of games that just flip the same assets over and over; White Vortex does “try” to make a good game. It has some scares and the graphics are good. Yet, I can’t say it is all that original in terms of find a LOT of keys and read a LOT of notes in the dark.

In terms of game stability. BUGS BUGS BUG CRASHES AND BUGS! There are a bunch. I have an unedited playthrough here for reference. I had so many problems toward the end I was raging.

This game is the embodiment of cheap indie horror. Here you are presented with poor visuals, clumsy controls, generic sound effects and music, terrible voice acting, stupid jump scares that often are out of place, annoying chase sequences and the story that is so stupid, bland and banal that it makes one constantly facepalm.

Some effort was definitely put into this amateur project. Unfortunately, the result of this effort is atrocious like in the case of many other indie horror games of similar nature. Should be free to play.

Languish

Languish

This game is an evil PT clone. Let’s rip this sucker open. A common fear in the horror gaming industry is where the ethical line is drawn. “Languish” crosses that line and turns around to spit on it. This “game” flat out uses photos and audio from news broadcasts about an actual murder and the victims. It includes things such as the male involved in the crime trying to obstruct justice by misleading police to believe he has nothing to do with the case, all the way to actual relatives of the people involved being questioned by news outlets and being ripped straight into the game. This is a disgusting practice that in no way should be encouraged or even allowed on the Steam storefront. Do not give this developer your money, instead report the game to steam and have them deal with it. This entire game is a mockery at best and a downright disrespectful shit post at worst.

I really liked this game and would recommend it. For $3 it gave some pretty good jump scares. If you want to watch me play through it check out the video below:

No Cure 2

No Cure 2

Set one year after the events of the first game, step back into the shoes of Jon and battle a new kind of zombie that switches back and forth from human.

The horror is real and the switchers are hiding in plain sight infecting people… They must be stopped… Your old squad is back to help in the action and the stakes get even higher as one of the main detectives goes missing.

No Cure 2 is a follow-up sequel to the first game. It has a unique art style and focuses on storytelling and challenging action set pieces featuring many zombies…

Nox Terrorem: Lost Souls

A slender game in 2021? Really? Anyways, it’s hideous. A set of paths which all look the same and you have no idea where to go. Slender just kills you randomly at a distance. A buggy and boring mess.

for me, nothing worked, if I used left mouse it went to desktop. I couldn’t pick up any documents so never got past the house. running made me feel sick and the overall experience was horrible. no menu for controls so not only could you not adjust the mouse sensitivity (which was far too high for me) but there’s no way to know what keys do what. refunded it. and for CDN $ 9.19 it’s just not worth it

  • Use a Ouija board to communicate with the dead

  • Interact with fully voiced NPCs to hear about their final moments

Pretty good game for the price. And like it says, the game has a lot of puzzles which can get a bit frustrating at times. But, once you know what to do it’s not bad. And the game gives you enough time to try and figure it out. Overall, I’d recommend it if you’re a fan of horror and puzzle games.

It not a bad game but just a bit rough. I enjoyed the puzzles till I got stuck on one. It wasn’t a very hard one I’m just an idiot but it did make the rest of the play through a little less enjoyable. The main issue I have with this game is the audio. The sound is already maxed in the game and you still have to turn it up in order to hear anything. Then when a scare happens your ears get blown out because of how loud that part is. Overall for the price and the content I think it’s worth trying out. If you want to see some game play you can check out my play through above.
