Lakeview Valley Reviews

brain-damaged clown named butt butt or something beat my head in

I have no idea if it's a good game or not because it won't run. It crashes loading the opening cut scene. The only reason I haven't refunded it is because I made the mistake of not opening the game until 2 weeks after purchase so steam won't let me refund it, despite it being unplayable. According to other reviews, even if I could get into the game play, it would be full of bugs anyway.. Can't say I recommend.

I understand what the game is going for but honestly it doesn't do a good job into pushing you to kill people. i felt somewhat satisfied with the hell ending i got. reminds me of postal where the game is only as violent as you want to be.

Pretty good game and I enjoy it so far. Feels like an Animal Crossing-type game but with Lakeview Cabin elements mixed into it. You can make the town folk like you, get nosey and get your hands dirty into some weird mysteries, or allow your dark desires to consume you and become a serial killer yourself. The game only lasts about 7 days (in game) but don't let that short time fool you, there are many choices and routes to make in this game. This game has so much content and hidden bits of lore and mystery, you have to replay it several times to really get to know what this game keeps hidden away from you. Every night something weird happens, I once saw my scarecrow move on it's own and it creeped me out even though it's just a pixelated game. Sometimes you want to go to bed and sleep until the next day, only for the game to tell you "Can't sleep" and when you get out of bed to check what is happening, some weird figure lurks around your house. The game is a little bit forgiving when it comes to dying (which I'm glad). Even dying in this game can change the course of the story, you'll be revived and wake up in a hospital bed a few times the next day, just don't die too often or you may have to restart the day. The combat and stamina system feels quite a bit janky, I'm not really a fan of it. Defending yourself from a slasher is awfully difficult and you will die 9/10 times. It requires a lot of running around and perfectly timed attacks to successfully fend off an attacker, I wish that was changed/improved. Overall, I do really recommend the game. Honestly, I bought it because it was on discount, the 15 euro price tag (roughly 16 dollars) initially made me hesitate about buying it, but it's actually quite good.
