Horror Tycoon Reviews

I spent over two hours fighting through bugs and issues in this game, and now I can’t even return it. The whole experience was frustrating from start to finish. The building mechanics are downright awful. There’s no clear snapping function, so trying to get anything to line up is a pain. Adding floors actually broke the ability to add walls, so I just said "F" it. I wanted to create something with a bit of style, but it was such a hassle that I gave up and threw together some particle board walls to make a maze. It wasn’t pretty, but at least it worked. Then there’s the power system, which is a complete nightmare. You can’t place anything that requires power unless you already have power running—makes no sense. And the generators burn through gas in about 10 seconds, so you’re constantly refueling and going broke. I tried switching to windmills, which helped a little, but they would constantly break down. On top of that, the starting line for the haunted house is ridiculously far away, so by the time guests reached it, the generator was already out of fuel, leaving everything shut down. Repairing items was straight up broken. Replacement parts cost more than just buying a new item, but even then, clicking “repair” didn’t do anything. I bought a maintenance desk hoping it would solve the problem, but the staff just stood around talking about how creepy the place was instead of fixing anything. I also hired a cleanup crew and the guy wouldn't even enter the haunted house. Guests entered just fine, so I'm not sure why he wouldn't. I added the crushing walls to amp up the fear factor and it literally broke the haunted house. All the bodies just piled up at the crushing walls and everyone got stuck in the house. I had to delete the crushing walls and everyone finally actually "died" and I was able to collect their bones and such. The game progression was just as broken. In the first two rounds, I didn’t hit the quota, but nothing happened, so I assumed that was normal. Then, on the third round, I finally met the quota—and still, nothing happened. It felt like I was playing with no clear goal or reward. I checked on the community hub and folks were talking about a pass/fail score. So obviously I should have had some kind of notification? To top it all off, guests kept getting stuck in their cars. If you pause the game, it stops cars that are already on the road, but new ones keep spawning, causing a massive traffic jam that traps everyone. I really wanted to like this game, but the bugs, poor mechanics, and lack of direction made it impossible to enjoy. It’s frustrating because there’s potential here, but right now, it’s just not worth the time or money. It's literally not ready to be played. It was in development forever and it's been out for over 2 years now. Sure, it's early access, but it's hard to even access it. I never return games and I never leave scathing reviews, but this was beyond broken.

game devs go months with no word and leave the game almost unplayable. dont spend your money on this until its finished, it does have potential when its done

I am afraid that I will give a "Not-Recommend" to this game, I experienced this game much and I hope I could give this game "Thumb-Up", but in fact I cannot The first point I must mention is, this game runs very slow. My computer configuration is not bad at all. But when I move my camera, change the angle of view etc, it doesn't run very smoothly. The second thing is, this game doesn't have Chinese version. I cannot understand this game very well The final thing I must mention is, the reations of visiters being scared are not vivid and don't seem real at all. I cannot see the reactions, such as scream and escape, as it should be. I think the most people, who play games like this, want to experience such reactions. But in fact there are not If the developers could optimize those three points, I am glad to change my comment to "Recommend", but at least now I cannot! 很遗憾，体验这款游戏那么久，我给出的评价还是“不推荐” （我是强忍着下列缺点体验了很久，实在找不出可以给推荐的理由。一般来说，对于扮鬼吓人/鬼屋模拟这个题材的游戏，我一向是很宽容的，只要真有闪光点，即使游戏必须用Cheat Engine才能玩得下去，我都不介意给好评的那种。但是这款游戏我是真没法给好评） 首先是这款游戏优化很差，我电脑配置并不差，但是运行这款游戏很卡，随便移动位置、转换视角都很卡 与之相对的，隔壁“开张啦！恐怖屋”虽然也有很多缺点，但是至少运行起来不卡 其次让我给不推荐的点是没有中文，很多东西只能连蒙带猜 最后一点，是游戏里鬼屋游客被吓到时的反应一点也不生动，被我们吓人道具吓到时应有的尖叫声、仓皇逃窜等反应完全没有——玩鬼屋模拟类游戏的玩家，不说所有，但是很大一部分，难道不就是冲着人们被吓到的反应而来玩之类游戏的吗？ 如果开发者愿意优化我说的上述问题，我很乐意改好评，但是至少目前为止我还不能给出“推荐”的评价
