Morbid Reviews

great game

Keybindings don't work, end of story. Don't buy if that is important to you.

This was a huge disappointment, honestly. It starts out well. I was super excited about it. I don't even care about the glitches. Sure, the game is early access but I've played free demos that lasted longer than this, which is all it is at this point - a $20 demo. I will absolutely be refunding this, but I will add it to my wishlist and follow for future updates and gameplay.

I really wanted to enjoy this game. I saw the created posted that there will be a patch update earlier today however, the game is missing fundamental how-to. Seems that you get caught up on doors so make sure to close them after opening not much of an inconvenience and just a game play function to get used to. It seems that I just cant figure out how to use items such as batteries and such after something like the flashlight dies. I tried my entire keyboard I think. I understand its in beta but there should be basic functions of a game that this is just missing. The creator did try really hard on the graphics. I love the feel that it initially give off and the old school vibe as nothing is just given to you. I really think that should be kept! Like an Amber's Journey Beyond feel. Has great potential but currently a broken game. ***UPDATE*** After digging, I have found that its the mouse scroll bar to select the items in the inventory. I give this demo a HUGE thumbs down on the review. For the amount of content in a demo and lack of understanding on how the controls should work, it is not worth the price. This is something you would find in a free demo to amp up a release. Don't expect much more than an hour of hunting down what your supposed to do. Still has potential but I expect more for $18. Biggest disappointment of the night and off to find another game. ***UPDATE 10-11-22*** I noticed a patch downloading when I jumped on today and decided to take a look. The menu feels much cleaner than before. The developer has added settings to change your control layout to make it much easier to navigate the game. Much needed! Glowsticks have been added and its harder to find a flashlight. The glowsticks IMO is a little OP but kinda nice during a beta. There are still glitches in the drawers upstairs on a few of the dressers and when you open cabinets it still has a hard time blocking you from walking and instead it glitches until you move back. Some new audio points have been added as well. On the actual gameplay itself, speed run through the finish and it still does not provide more content, however the developer did change up a few jumpscare moments. At the end, it did not give me the option to leave the game. I am not sure if there is a new menu button and did not pay attention to it on the control settings and just hit the windows key to escape. I still dont recommend the game at the price point but will continue to provide updates as long as the developer continues to provide patches. I would recommend announcements with patch updates on the game homepage to let anyone that maybe going along the journey know what to expect during the next run. In the long run though, the developer may actually have something here. Only time will tell... P.S. A patch a week would be nice at the very least :)

It looks interesting. Sadly it's not. :( The graphics look great, despite it being a standard asset pack where the rooms have been slightly altered. Opening cupboards doors, push you aside or on top of them - very annoying. The controls don't work properly, it says E is for interact, but it doesn't work, even assigning a different key for it, same results. I got stuck on opening the door upstairs, apparently you needed to right click, then left click for it to unlock. There's no sense in it whatsoever (usually games have 1 button to take an item then you left click it, or it unlocks as you leftclick). As a detective fan, finding clues is the biggest fun in games, but there was nothing in this game that remotely made me feel I was playing a detective. Just a pretty bad walking simulator. It could have potentional, but there needs to be more story involved, better optimalization of the key/controls and the surroundings not pushing you around. And if really going for the detective kind not just walking back and forth to places to find more keys to open more doors. I couldn't finish it due to the above things, and it got me so annoyed I had to close the game down. Do wanna say, do not give up. There is potentional, but don't bring out an early access game in this kind of state.
