It was alright. I did really enjoy the art. Some screens, especially in the extra chapter. Story was alright for these type of games. Some interesting puzzles though we had a minigame or two bug out on us, though they were able to be skipped so no big deal. Was a fun distraction, my friends and I got some laughs. So yeah, it’s fine.

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.

Insaniam
Story
You play as investigative journalist “Mr. Johnson” after receiving several tips of a government cover up at a recently abandoned psychiatric hospital. All reports suggest illegal experiments taking place on the patients of the facility- and supposedly a government cover up. Detective Johnson decided to go through with this one off-books and after just a few days of preparation he sets out to explore the abandoned facility in the middle of the night, to recover patient records.
2AM: You arrive at the scene, it is a gloomy and silent night. Rain is pouring, wind flows through the air as an unsetteling feeling kicks in. Something isn’t right here, but there is only one way to figure out what it is…
Gameplay
Insaniam is a first person survival horror game, your objective is to retrieve at least five patient records for the abandoned facility.
You’ll be forced to scavenge for batteries to keep your camcorder charged, utilize the night vision mode to explore the dark, use sanity pills or stay in the light to keep sane, avoid hallucinations, while something is lurking in the darkness and so much more.
Gameplay is based around a speed run mechanic where you’ll play for shortest time to escape or longest time survived. Randomized game mechanics keep this experience fresh and increases re-playablity.
The game is not story focused but there is underlying lore that is optional to explore through text, visuals or audio.
Silent Mansion : Part2
Hello, i have purchased this game for me and my wife. Have Valve Index and works great but i miss the option to save a game. The first day we completed the first stage and the second day we must to start from the scracth, no progress was saved so we had to start from the begining again…Perhaps i have missed the option to load a previous saved game?
Thanks in advance and keep on the good work!

Silent Mansion part 2 is a brilliant starter game for VR players who wish to have somewhat basic puzzle solving and light horror gameplay. Works well on Oculus Rift S. And if you have a friend who wish to get into VR, try this!
For -50% it’s a nice to have. I played the story in less than 2 hours. This included some glitching and solving bugs (like, dont drop the feathers in the toilet or just throw the amulet around the mansion entrance). The pre-boss fight in the not-so-spacious room was challenging, it took me longer to complete than the final boss fight.

A Place for the Unwilling
A Place for the Unwilling is an isometric story driven adventure game. I can recommend this game to players who have patience to read many dialogues and texts in a slow-paced world. The story is compelling to track from start to finish, but there are also missing pieces in the story. Depending on how you choose to progress in the game, the city player lives in changes and reacts differently. All characters introduced are vibrant, they all have stories to tell. They have the ability to manipulate player’s perspective in a direction based on your affinity to them. But the game doesn’t deliver its expected ending.

Solid exploratory adventure with deep, lyrical writing and time constraints.
The game’s aesthetics is absolutely delicious in its dark simplicity of the features, but lots of moving elements. It has the “cartoon Lovecraft” feel to it and the city streets simply beg to explore every nook and cranny. With all that beauty around, the controls are what dampens the overall fantastic first expression. Intuitive they are not. There is a mix of WASD and arrows involved, where every letter is not what you learned it to be from hundreds of previous games played… S acts like an “Enter” for example, and quite frequently you’d have to resort to “W – Arrow down – E” combinations which will result in lost money and/or some frustration. Since interaction of a character starts from him/her being turned to an object or a person in order to highlight them first, it’s also easy to imagine some annoying moments when you trying to angle your character just right. Perhaps, the only thing I’d want to lodge a complaint about.

Sanator: Scarlet Scarf
I originally downloaded the demo in its early days, and it was not a great start as the dialogue was wordy, too clever for its own good, and nonsensical in places. Its great to see how it has improved, as this was always a story to arouse one’s curiosity! The music and artwork set up the atmosphere for what, as others have said, is a world that could appear in further episodes. There is replayability in this VN, as its the only way to get some of the achievements, and it gives the opportunity to learn more about this medieval fantasy and the myths behind it. There are several different endings and so far I have found 3.

Sanator: Scarlet Scarf is a dark fantasy multiple choice Visual Novel written by Gilbert Brissen using a prose style that reflects the Period setting allowing the Reader to delve deep into the immersion of the Plague ridden town of Reustadt.
The Main Protagonist is a Sanator called Richard Murdoch who belongs to the Brotherhood of St Elmo that are tasked to ensure the safety of the town and to do battle against any Plague spirits. To be prepared, the Sanator wears protective clothing of: a beak shaped mask, a long cloak, a robe, deep gauntlet gloves and fisherman length boots making Murdoch appear, at least to me anyway, as a Medieval superhero who also has a ‘sidekick’ named Anga - a Shadow spirit he can call on when in danger.
