Chores in the Night Reviews

[h1] A Spooky, but Flawed, Horror Short [/h1] [i] Mom is gone for the night. She gave me a list of chores to complete before she gets home in the morning. I'll have to rush given everything that needs to be done. But something is wrong...there's noises all throughout the house, and I could have sworn I saw something move out of the corner of my eye... [/i] Chores in the NIght is a short and simple horror game with a simple premise: Your mom wants you to pick up trash, mop up stains, and do the dishes while she's gone. However, something appears to be haunting you while you do your chores, leading to you having to balance your work while trying to stay safe until dawn. Pros: -Some genuinely good scares: This game did spook me a couple of times, and I genuinely adored some of the creepiness with some of them, such as the creature in the toilet! Cons: -A bit too easy: If you do enough exploring, you'll quickly find a particular item that makes the entire run a cakewalk [spoiler] (Book on your desk that the character says makes him think about banishing aliens with his mind) [/spoiler] as long as you make sure to touch that item every so often. After I found that, it became a bit too boring because it didn't seem to have any limit to number of uses or anything. -Only a few scares: Overall, I can only think of about 4 total scares that happened throughout the game. While that's not too terrible for a short game, it does get very repetitive very quickly. -Very short: My run took only about 20 minutes. If I wanted to go back to get all achievements, it'd probably be another 20 to do so. There's also not a lot of replayability to it. Overall I'd still recommend the title with the caveat that you're paying for a game with limited replayability. If you're okay with something for a quick scare session, then definitely give this a try!

I did everything I could, mom still beat me. It seems realistic enough to me

Actually terrible. This game uses basic Unity skins on everything, has no resolution settings, no keybinding settings, no flashlight, and all the assets look like a mishmash of random free stuff. The creature that eventually shows up has virtually no animations, and there is no indicator that you take damage from it until you finally die (and also no indicator of what to do once it shows up.) Gameplay consists of walking around the house and picking up one plate or can at a time, bringing them to the kitchen, and repeating it. And the whole game is less than 20 minutes long.
