REVEIL Reviews

This is a horror/puzzle game. There are puzzles that must be solved to progress through the horror parts. Ran game on a Steam Deck and it looks and runs well. However, one of the early puzzles was broken, which stopped progress. The puzzle was to retrieve a marble from a machine, but the marbles had already dropped and could not be retrieved. This blocked solving another puzzle, which basically stopped the game. Puzzles (the ones I encountered) require moving around the environment and looking for an indicator so you can click and interact with the environment. If you approach the items from the wrong angle or don't crouch, the puzzle won't work. The game needs to be tested and fied before I can recommend it.

Not a very long game, but thoroughly enjoyed the story-telling aspect of the game.

Overall a good game. The puzzles were a bit annoying tho. Sometimes you were caught up with the story, moving quickly through the chapters, then a puzzle would kill the mood and halt the pace. Story was solid. It's worth a buy. However...the protagonist talking 24/7 throughout the game almost made me rate this negatively. He is pointing the most obvious stuff, talking non sense, and just pissing you off. You are sometimes running for your life and you hear this guy casually saying: "I think I'm in a nightmare...Yeah, this can't be right" Bro, just shut the f up and let me enjoy the game and immerse myself in the creepy atmosphere.

Interesting game, sort of reminded me of Pools, but I liked the story. I do wish the story was a bit longer it took me only 3 hours but I loved it overall.

It's definitely unique. Minor spoilers ahead. I was almost ready to quit half-way because the game gave a pretty skillful impression of silent hill 2 but with weirdly middle-class-sounding carnies, child labor violations, and zero action. There's a twist that makes the whole thing kind of work if you don't think about it too much. It's not a masterpiece and it was at times slow. There are a few challenging puzzles but all the challenge is due to pixel hunting. So, more of an "experience" than a "game". But, it's pretty short and does things I hadn't seen in games before so I'd say worth checking out as a piece of art at the very least.

MUST PLAY!!! One of the "BEST" games I have ever played. It truly is a masterpiece in all aspects of gaming. Mystery, intrigue, horror, spooky theme park elements, futuristic fear, mind control, etc. It's just a must play in every way.
