027 Reviews

I'm playing Steam games in alphabetical order, and you can watch my review here: https://youtu.be/geYUJp0cE-Y Prefer to read? 027 is a horror/puzzle game, with a loose narrative that ties set pieces together. The game is poorly optimized, so expect some frame rate issues on the higher settings. The plot is threadbare, but there's enough to link areas together. A lot of areas feel empty as they are lacking general ambience, and the directions are sometimes a bit unclear, but there are a few areas that clearly had more work put into them and shine. The basement, clothing store and mall were great areas, with a couple of well thought-out puzzles. Sadly, the horror elements don't quite stick the landing, and there is one section that is an unnecessary FNAF clone, and the game would be better off without this. Overall, it's hard to recommend the game, especially for the steep asking price. That said, the dev deserves credit for being quick to fix the bugs that I experienced. So although I can't recommend the game, I do thank them. Best of luck with your next game! Edit: The dev has now made the game free - it's still unpolished in many areas, so I will leave the review as Not Recommended, but I'd suggest giving it a go if you're curious.
