The Crimping Reviews

It's a fun little jaunt, the platforming section at the end is terrible due to the jumps being inconsistent and floaty as well as the rocks basically sliding you if your off a little from the target jump After some more time int he floating platforming section this game is bad don't buy

Nice charming little horror game, good for the price!

This was fun and spooky. Enjoyed it a lot. Done in about 1 hr.

strange but fun game. set in a historic american haunted location, fully AI voice acted, not very long but has an achievement for fully listening to the entertainer be played on the piano. curio more than classic but still interesting.

This is a fun horror game with detailed graphics and a story line based on a real life event. The game's narrative is filled with surprises that keep you asking...what next.

I just played through this game! The graphics were beautiful and I loved the sounds, especially the rain. The voices are definitely weird because they are AI voices. But it was super nice not having to read anything. While there were some jump scares, I actually found some of the walking around the most spooky. It is cool that this is a story based on a real hotel. It would be fun to figure out what hotel it is based on. I wish it was a little longer of a game and I hope the developer expands on this game at some point. Great bit of fun for the low price point!

The game had a lot of fun and good parts, but the level design in the caves and mountain area was absolutely miserable. Just lost the entire time. Everything looked the same, the path wasn't clear, etc. Would have been REALLY fun if those sections didn't take away from the experience.

Alright so honest review time. - Graphics, great. It's nice to see a different aesthetic, and it seems it's all original artwork. At least I haven't seen these characters or surroundings in any other indie games that I've played so far. It kind of gave me walking dead vibes for the characters with the black outline. The hotel looked great as well. - Sounds and such, were all pretty good. Apart from the AI voice acting (and maybe the sounds the rabbit made), it was terrible. I know the reasoning behind it, I saw the tweet, but it would have been nice to have a toggle voices on or off. I think I would have had a much nicer experience just reading the lines out loud myself. - Jumpscares were pretty decent. They got me good a few times at least. - Story wise, I'm a little conflicted. I can see the direction where it was going, but the ending felt super hastened. The beginning and ending make sense and feel like one story (although not entirely either), but the in between was a bit "eh ok, makes perfect sense I guess". SPOILER DO NOT READ [spoiler] Especially the friend who just left with the pizza guy, I don't know why that was put in there. I think having done much more with the ghost story. More time/ puzzles in the hotel before the final room would open up already. More lore about the ghost haunting the hotel. The tunnels below the hotel I think it would have been awesome if it was more than just follow a ghost and eventually it pops up like that. I know it was directing us to an item, but the entire tunnel system felt a bit of a bummer [/spoiler]. It was a bit too short in my opinion and could have done more expanded storywise. - Puzzle wise I didn't really feel there were many puzzles in this game. All in all I would still recommend it and just compare it to a super short story that doesn't have too much depth in it. Feedback for the dev pure options wise: - Mouse sensitivity - Toggle voices on/ off I will definitively keep an eye out on the dev and future projects. :)

I had some fun with this, but I can't recommend it. most of the funny probably came from the AI voices (every voice in this game) pronouncing words weird and having weird voice inclinations. otherwise the game is just kinda meh. near the end of the game there's also a really dumb section where you have to climb a mountain where every path feels wrong because a) no path textures or like slightly brighter ground and also the terrain isn't like flattened very much so the cues are just bad, b) paths will look like they go down, but raise altitude around the corner and it's easy to take a dead end and think you have to make a jump or backtrack a bunch and it's bad, c) enemies are spawning constantly and from everywhere so you can't even use them as an indicator of where to go. they also have a platforming section which was kinda stinky. oh yeah, nothing in this game makes a sound effect that makes any sense. not even in like a funny way, just like a weird why did they use this sound effect for this enemy way. this gets especially annoying in the mountain zone. also characters will talk forever and you will get bored or just be like "I just got here, can you not exposition at me right away for fuck sakes" like make me give a shit or something cause I just could not care about the story at all and I was just like please do a spooky thing at me or something I beg you when character's talked. so yeah, pick this up if you want, but like it's ok, it's less than an hour, it's not gonna make you laugh that much, real mid, but it's your money and this only cost me 3 bucks so like whatever, can't be too mad at that, that's about right for what I got here.

Not sure what to think here, animations are weird, humor is just ermmm childish, and skeletons kill with 1 hit.. also stuck at 60 fps for what? The graphics are not that great to be fair the price is low but idk to me it is weird and not worth it
