Nightzoid Reviews

Great game and great storyline.

WARNING! DO NOT BUY! GAME CRASHES ALL THE TIME. WHEN THE GAME CRASHES, STEAM.EXE TOO! DEVELOPER HAS NO PLANS TO FIX THE ISSUE! Review is irrelevant at this point.. The task of even playing the game has become difficult due to bug making it crash. ___ The distortion effect seems a lost more aggressive than in the screen shots, makes it hard to read some of the writings / numbers that are needed for solving puzzles. The monsters collision box is massive and you cannot pass through him. This means if you go into a room without another exit and the monster comes behind you then you just have to let it slowly kill you. You are trapped in the bathroom and you cannot get out, you are trapped in the closet and you cannot escape. A cheap game over. Does not appear the monster can be stunned nor staggered. Player bubble of light is somewhat small. I'd even say the screenshots appear to have a wider light effect than when I played the game. Stupid achievements for completing each of the endings 5 times or collecting each key item 10 times. One of them wants you to beat the game 77 times. Is this game worth spending that much time in it? Without the monster, perhaps. It could be a fun puzzle / escape type game. As it plays right now its just too frustrating having the monster there. I've accidentally ended runs before by going into the Ending F1 area multiple times. It activates a door close meaning you are stuck there. A huge waste of time when you run into dead ends that kill or trap you. The only way to know they are there is to find them first. I suggest not collecting the coins because you will only die and have to start all over again next time, the coins collected are not saved and it only seems to waste time as they are not very useful in the game. There is no Save... I imagine the better endings are going to require you to play for 2 hours straight to reach. There are no checkpoints and it feels like you are playing the poor game over and over with little difference in outcome or ending. Very simple game over messages. Oh and the game crashes approx. every 2 hours give or take, alluding to an issue with memory allocation. I attempted to play the game on my SteamDeck as well, and I highly recommend against it. It is almost like a virus when it happens and I am not sure if it causes damage but it shuts down the entire console. The games basically unplayable for long durations.
