CROWDED. FOLLOWED. Reviews

My experience in DbD is finally useful.

So I never saw a monster? Just some poor guy who had been shot but I've got better things to do.

it's fun, just be aware there's only 3 gameplay levels. they are very tense and fun, just don't expect more. the game creates tension in a number of ways that make sense and aren't too annoying, like your character has limited stamina because they have asthma and have to puff their inhaler every once in a while.

Remember the movie It Follows? Here's best game adaptation of it (at least for the first good part of the movie, the second part was kinda bad)!

Fun short game. VHS feel. Nice club music. Stays true to game title.

Very cool idea, not so great execution. The concept rocks, being followed relentlessly by a creature no one else can see in the crowd, but you can constantly hear the creature and tell exactly how far it is even if you can't directly see it, and it's too easy to juke once you do. I get the addition of the asthma mechanic to make It more of a potential threat to the player, but all that I feel like was achieved was making it into more of a game of resource management rather than ratcheting up tension. I was more annoyed to get caught than actually startled or anything. Imo, this needed the actual mechanics to be more fleshed out, to actually lean more into the "It could be anyone" vibe, but I also get development limitations and such come into play too. For what it is, it does a good job of building an atmosphere, especially love the nightclub. Horror is usually quiet and solitary, but horror being found in the presence of a crowd, who does their best to ignore you because society has deemed you a pariah while you are ruthlessly stalked and possibly killed? That rules. It's a solid piece and not bad for $6, but didn't really do it for me.

Nightmare fever dream. One of the most stress-inducing games you will ever play, especially if you play on hard difficulty. The game takes place in what looks like The End Times. There are riots, blackouts and end of the world parties. Some people are just too busy to realize the world is ending. The cops are cracking down on anyone who gets too close. No one cares about you. You are houseless and penniless. You are alone and always out of breath. You are fighting for every single second. The premise and the execution are just brilliant. The music, the oppressive visuals, sound crescendos, the foot steps, the insanity of it all. Bravo, Devs!
