Disquiet Fields Reviews

NICE

Amusing creepy walking sim about plodding down a rural road, collecting skulls (for reasons?) and getting stalked by the creepy rural road monsters rustling around you. Shining your flashlight at them freezes them, unless they're too close then your only recourse is to run with your limited stamina. Feels appropriately spooky and plenty of jump scares though the actual game play felt limited. It really feels most like a game designed to be streamed so someone can make overly dramatic "OH MY GOD" noises to their viewers when a spooky-ass crawly thing comes out of the grass at you. Made in Unity and looks like most indie Unity-based horror games which is to say serviceable but generic. I don't know if it has staying power but I got my buck's worth of spookiness and jump scares out of it so I'll give it a thumbs up.

I have to say... for 0.99$ I got my fair share of jump scares. The concept of the game is simple, make your way down the path and avoid the dangers that come while searching for different skulls that are along the path and buildings that dot it. While several of the scare assets are reused, I was surprised to see how often they scared me, especially in conjunction with other scares, which lead to a few heart pounding moments. While I do find having to restart at the very beginning of the game to be a bit tedious, I see that it's a game of patience more than anything, if you're trying to win that is. I didn't beat it personally, but I do recommend the game for a fun half hour or so of scares, especially with friends, as well as a test for dedicated gamers.
