I have mixed feelings about that game— the story is, to be brutally honest, infantilely ridiculous. Moreover, the gameplay feels repetitive at some point and limited to traversing from point A to B.

Last 3 nights are a horrible choice of a game design— it is all the same, annoying process, throwed in the sake of forced “challenge” and, I presume, prolonging this short already digital story.

On the other hand, I adore the artistic touch applied in here. The cozy, yet tense atmosphere with consistency have been accomplished. The story looks interesting and it gave me subtle thrills in the first 3 nights.

After 3 hours I regret to say that I can not recommend this game.

The atmosphere of it is wonderful and the slow build up, the introduction of the monsters is incredible. Perfect from what I can tell. The difficulty of managing resources (well being of your kids - use the cookies wisely, the light allocation of the house, etc) is also spot on. It is a real challenge. You need to recognize rooms as well and have a good feeling for the layout of the house as it’s critical to later evenings.

But the interface is absolutely god awful, and I have gotten stuck in geometry requiring me to replay evenings. Clicking on nails has to be done several times, and rotating the screwdriver was fucking terrible. If I hadn’t watched a video of someone else playing (seeing that I had move the curse far, far away from it to rotate it) I would never have figured it out. So stupid. An example of this are the pill bottles - there’s no hint as to what you need to do to them (take off the cap using the mouse and cursor, click on the bottle to raise it high above your head, then tilt it to pour the pills out of the bottle and into your mouth).

Hollow Bliss

Hollow Bliss

Your experience in Hollow Bliss depends on your choices, deaths, and consequences. Take control of five high school friends who end up trapped within a dark home, its twisted residents out to get them. As you explore the house, the space changes around you, and how you interact with it and respond to its dangers will make an impact on your chances to make it out alive. Everyone can die, but more than that, the imprint they leave can either benefit or hurt the chances of the others also trying to survive. You’re in a horror scenario, it’s up to you to make your choices of how to get out of the situations you find yourself in.

After the death of his childhood best friend, Chris Lansan struggles to feel normal with his friends, old and new. There was a comic he and his deceased friend were working on before her unfortunate passing, but it was in her possession when she died. He goes with his group of friends; Dustin, Julia, Hailey, and Sarah, to ask his mother if he could take the comic as a memento. After strange hostility from the mother towards Chris, seeing how important this is to Chris, Dustin proposes they sneak in when the mother goes out to find and fetch the comic. When they do so however, they find themselves trapped within the home, and unfortunately not alone.

Hollow Bliss is a gut wrenching 2.5D horror narrative game experience that plays out differently depending on you.

FEATURES

  • You’re in control of a horror scenario, who lives and dies depends entirely on you.

  • 32 endings, with various alternate ways every scene in the game can play out.

  • Every character has a unique ability, which if they die, is lost to you.

  • The game remembers previous runs, the past may come back to haunt you.

  • Twisted and strange horrors that’ll leave you guessing and what could possibly come next.

  • An original soundtrack and positional 3D audio adds to a thick atmosphere, best experienced with headphones..

  • A cast of characters who have more to them than you may initially assume. They may win you over.

Pulling down the moon would be easier.

So far I’ve only made it to shutter mode but I adore this game, the overall atmosphere is so cool and creative & the gameplay is simple but rewarding. A+

edit: hi, about a year later and i wanted to add to my review! I still, amazingly, haven’t made it past living walls mode (not for lack of trying) but this is honestly one of my favorite games of all time, very special. It strikes the perfect balance of having very minimal mechanics while still being HARD and enjoyable in a way that u wanna keep working at it til u win. and honestly, what’s better than being chased down a hallway?

PLAY BY THEIR RULES OR DIE BY THEM.

This game has a way of slowly revealing its secrets to you. In a way a spiritual successor to Slender, It Steals drops you into each gamemode with very little information, and it’s up to you to infer what actions will let you survive and what will cost you. The gameplay is extremely tense, the AI will constantly keep you on edge in any of the available gamemodes, and the secrets will keep you coming back for more. It’s a steal of a price, and more content may be coming yet. 10/10.

Dr. Milo’s Revenge… what can I say.

Good game.

10/10.

Favorite game of all time.

Dr. Milo’s Revenge is a low effort troll comedy horror game. The gameplay consists of… finding things, avoiding a slow moving doctor cat thing and running when said doctor cat thing spots you. Revolutionary game mechanics I know.

You start off as a science person who is doing unknown research in a science facility in the middle of a snowy tundra. The power is off and it is up to you to turn on the generators to bring back power to your science facility. One of your fellow researchers “Dr. Milo” is also mysteriously missing. Dr. Milo being a cat doctor hybrid wielding a pipe? like weapon. Milo will try to stop you at each area where a generator is located. By stopping you, I mean, running at you very slowly while making a very loud earrape level sound, that is honestly the best thing about the game, it’s a fucking terrifying sound. When he catches you, Milo smacks you with his pipe. You can take multiple hits from his pipe so it’s not difficult to survive him.

Welcome to B67

What is your job: get to the 67th floor

Sounds easy, right? Well, there is a good houndreds of enemies in your way, counting in bosses.

Asside from cheesy bit, the game is good, a bit rough around the edges in few parts, but still really good.

I personally kinda like the system of “leveling up” your knowledge of a weapon by using it. It’s not something robust, don’t expect attachments, the lvl up let’s you have more bullets in the magazine, some weapons really need to be well leveled to be usefull on later stages.

I would recommend this game if you enjoy playing top down shooters.

Compared to other games in this price-range, it has a good amount of game play, has some interesting game mechanics and I found it was challenging and addictive. You can expect to die many times before completing, but with each respawn you retain your upgrades, so each playthrough becomes a bit easier.

The graphics are in a pixelated “retro” style, so if you like high end graphics this may not be for you. There is also no difficulty setting, and it is challenging, so if you enjoy very easy shooter games this may also not be for you.

Dark Tales from México: Prelude. Just a Dream… with The Sack Man

Dark Tales from México: Prelude. Just a Dream… with The Sack Man

DARK TALES FROM MÉXICO

This is a saga of 9 short games and a prelude in a 3D survival horror style, based on tales from the real Mexican folklore in which every monster it´s originally a physical sculpture made and painted by hand and then 3D scanned using photogrammetry.

IN THIS EPISODE

You are a young girl who is sleeping and having a nightmare in the middle of which your grandmother appears giving you a key, then a black cat starts talking to you and tells you that if you want to wake up, you must recover, in less than an hour, a dagger that is inside a labyrinth where the Sack Man lives, the monster that steals children from that old legend that your grandmother also told and warns you that this labyrinth is alive, that it changes its shape and that it will protect the monster by showing you your own fears, and that if you fail, you will remain inside the labyrinth forever and you will never wake up again.

Affordable Cat, kinda sounds like something you’d type in the search engine for pet lovers. But anyhow, this dev came up with Martha (MRT) his first published game about a deranged granny hell bent on knocking your teeth out at intermittent intervals! Its price point (a buck cheaper on itch.io btw) and length reminded me of Chilla’s Art titles and stocked with a plethora of horror references to seal the deal! Finally, a person of culture!!

Real player with 3.1 hrs in game

I like the game, a few nice scares, overall spooky atmosphere, a few puzzles mixed in and with some combat here and there aswell. All in all a sweet little horror game, that all Indie horror game fans should enjoy, especially for this price.

I would however wish that i had a constant light source. I know.. Darkness is scary, But I also enjoy looking at my environment.

But that aside. Thanks for this little fun gem. Recommended.

Deadnaut: Signal Lost

Deadnaut: Signal Lost

From the developer of cult hits Deadnaut and Zafehouse Diaries comes Deadnaut: Signal Lost. In this slick, fast-paced roguelike you’ll take control of a single Deadnaut, unlock suit upgrades and abilities, fight cosmic horrors, and investigate drifting wrecks and abandoned moons. But remember: your Deadnaut is not a puppet – earn their trust, do your job well, and they might return the favour.

Equip your Deadnaut with a wide array of weapons and gear and lead them through a series of procedurally generated missions, fighting where you can – and running when you must.

Your Deadnaut may not like the idea of being torn apart by unknown horrors. Do what you can to complete your mission - pay bribes, make promises, turn them into a mindless space golem - but remember: everything has a price.

There are many ways to play, from weapons and sensors, to shields and hacking. Will you take the heavy duty Labour suit and slice your way through the ship, or will you slip through the shadows in the ghostly Sensor suit?

Encounter dozens of enemies types, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Avoid – or exploit – the security system in each level, from the Watchers that roam ships to the malfunctioning security Towers and Sentinels that guard settlements.

Tailor your armour and damage potential, and develop your Deadnaut with over 100 suit upgrades.

The cosmos is tearing itself apart. Wrecks are full of horrible, interdimensional creatures, the dead roam surfaces of moons, and you’re being hunted by technically advanced soldiers. Experience the world of Deadnaut up close.

FAQ

How does this relate to the original Deadnaut (2014)?

Deadnaut and Deadnaut: Signal Lost are both situated in the same universe and feature similar, mission-based gameplay in procedurally-generated locations. Furthermore, in both games you take on the role as a remote handler who controls the action ‘at a distance’ via a physical console. The Deadnaut also uses similar weapons and suits; battles against security systems; trades ‘knowledge’ for gear; and can be cloned upon dying.

Is this a sequel?

Deadnaut: Signal Lost is not a sequel. It is focused on a single Deadnaut, rather than a whole squad. The action is more intimate and tactical, and you can develop your Deadnaut with numerous suit upgrades and abilities. Furthermore, the gameplay is turn-based, not real-time, which helps focus the action.

How many levels are there?

Deadnaut: Signal Lost is designed to be fast, easy to pick up, and replayable. There are roughly 12 – 24 levels in a standard game. With five suits, special game modifiers, multiple difficulty levels, over 100 upgrades, loads of gear and procedurally generated campaigns, we think you’ll be occupied for a long time.

Isn’t everything ‘roguelike’ these days?

Deadnaut: Signal Lost has many genre-defining features, such as turn-by-turn tile-based movement, character progression, procedural generation and permadeath.
