Forgotten Reviews

Ok I played the game got the bad ending (I always do) I really like it going to try and get the good ending. Very affordable price and very well made and scary. https://youtu.be/KRWoIHqGSek

Paid 79 cents, on sale from 1.99. Hardware: i5 3570k, GTX 1070, Win 10x64, 16MB memory. Loaded fine, no crashes, played well on my 3440x1440 ultra-wide. I enjoyed this. It's a pixel-graphic side-view horror adventure, as the videos show. What they don't show is that it's very much like the old Atari 2600 game, [i]Adventure[/i]. Remember that one? You moved "Hero" through a series of rooms in which the various objects you needed to solve puzzles and escape the maze were scattered randomly about. You could only carry one object at a time. There were three roaming dragons that would chase and kill you, and a bat that flew around picking up random items. If the bat saw you, it would chase you to steal your item and give you whatever it was carrying, which was sometimes one of the live dragons (that really sucked. I still remember running from that damn bat 40 years later). This is largely similar in that you're in a house with multiple connected rooms, levels, and even sewers underneath. There are multiple objects scattered throughout that will enable you to open doors and solve other puzzles so you can progress through the maze. There's a monster roaming about who will chase you on sight and kill you if it catches you; you can escape by getting to a nearby exit or hiding place and using it. When you go back to the previous room, the monster won't necessarily be there (I can't say yet if he roams or if he's scripted to be in a room and then not be there on a subsequent visit). Winning will require some trial and error to learn the layout of the rooms, and where the objects are placed. There are some minor jump scares, in addition to when the monster sees you. There are also some clever scene shifts. My only criticisms are minor: the "story" that gets you into the mansion is a bit silly, and the game overall needs better English localization, done by someone who is a native speaker. However, the story isn't important and could easily be re-done with the same opening cinematic (you driving, you crashing, you waking up in the house), and there really isn't much writing in the game; it's not really important to enjoy the experience. Definitely worth a play. The description doesn't do it justice.
