Nightmare Of Melanie Reviews

If you don't know Chinese (like me) I cannot recommend the game. The translation is garbage. The grammar and spelling is messed up in some places, some parts aren't even translated, and other parts have the text continue off-screen making it unreadable. The controls are also a pain. And if you want to close the game you have to do it from the actual playing part of the game not the title screen. Which means opening the menu, clicking exit and then choosing from three options in Chinese. If you want to close from the title screen your options are to enter the game then close or use alt+f4. The title screen, only the start and load buttons actually do anything for me. The puzzles themselves are also often pretty confusing. There's even puzzles where you have to do the same action multiple times in order to actually get it to work with slightly different flavor text each click. I have also only found one save point and it is static meaning you have to keep running back and forth to it which is fine, until the difficult chase scene on the other side of the house where I keep dying and needing to reload and run all the way back to that point... Not that big of an issue, but when combined with the other frustrating elements is enough of one to warrant mentioning. On the plus side, the story itself is fairly interesting and there're some very well done horror elements and scares in the game. This leaves me at a loss as it is interesting enough for me to want to complete it, but so frustratingly created (or well translated) that I'm not sure if I ever will.

nightmare of playing.... but tbf the horror and creepy aspects of this game are well done, that's the only good thing tho,....
