Lost Diskettes Vol.1 Reviews

A set of small horror games best savoured one at a time. Even without 'finishing' most of them, I still got a feel for what each of them was saying. I recommend this for people who like strange, atmospheric horror games - other people might not get as much out of it.

Interesting collection of PSX-style horror games. Some were weird, some were creepy, and some were random but I still enjoyed all of them regardless. Here's my simple rating for each game: Mimic: 7.5/10 - Simple but really creepy, gave me some goosebumps, fairly basic gameplay but worth playing. Fuel 37: 5/10 - The story was honestly weird and random, the ending made me really confused. It has some really random character design too, but still an interesting game with nice atmosphere. Bighead: 6.5/10 - Very weird but still enjoyable, it was pretty funny for some reason. Chocolate: 3/10 - This one was really boring, pure walking simulator with barely anything to do, my least favorite game in the collection. Chango: 6/10 - Very odd and creepy, the beginning cutscene was honestly unnecessary in my opinion, simple but effective scares. Mausoleum: 8/10 - My personal favorite, the atmosphere was really nice. The story is perfect and goes well with the endings. Very satisfied with this one. Again some were weird, creepy, and random but it was still worth playing especially the game's atmosphere. The main menu was really nice, it's simple (in a good way) but straightforward. It took me less than 2 hours to finish all six games in the collection. I bought this game when it was on sale ($1.79), so if you're unsure about buying this game you can wait until it's on sale.

This was one of the few indie games I was actually excited towards playing. It was unique and really fun. Despite the 6 stories being relatively short, they delivered their message well, and even made me jump a couple of times. I liked the tennis ball, in reference to the game, "CANINE". I did like the PSX style of the game, but it may have been a little over the top; it felt *too* low quality, something similar to Mouthwashing would've been perfect! The story was interesting as well, but the names are too common, they're all Hispanic names, perhaps a little bit of variety would do the game well. Overall, I really enjoyed it and the ideas it presented, can't wait for Volume 2!
