An unpleasant find in my Steam play history. [strike] Found with 5 minutes played.. It was barely worth completing all achievements~ [/strike]
[u] [b] Pros: [/b] [/u]
-If you haven't bought this game. You've won.
[u] [b] Cons: [/b] [/u]
-The game has deteriorated from the initial debut. [strike] Or at least the version of The Hatman that I once saw Markiplier praise. [/strike] Rooms and items around the building are repetitive. All walk-through were from 2014 and did not resemble the "end product".
-Game saves are easily corrupted. One game I returned to had an item that I had already collected appeared on the floor. When trying to pick up this item for a second time, it would display a message telling me that I can not collect an item already in my inventory. (Had to restart.) In another game the save plunged me into darkness, where I was unable to move and left to restart the play-through.
-Pressing a key may result in nothing. (Seriously) Trying to switch between item in your bag can take up to 12 button presses before anything happens. Imagine pressing space to jump and the character does nothing. Repeat and the character might jump, after 10 attempts. Maybe~
-Listening to advice from you journal does not help. It will advise you to hide, but the monster does not leave. [u] [i] The Hatman [/i] will wait outside the door for you. [/u] Turning off the flashlight does not make a difference.
-Playing the father or mother character offers little change. They offer different voices for each of the parents, but if you die as the father. You still get the mothers death scream.
[b] -May unaddressed bugs~ [/b]
-Often trapped by the one-hit monster with dead-ends. Tasks needing to be complete were not always clear.
[b] -Don't waste your time. [/b]
[u] Achievement Hunters [/u]
If you find yourself faced with this [spoiler] hot garbage. [/spoiler] I wish you the best.
(If you can get the jump button to work, you slide down stairs really fast.)
