03.04 Reviews

OK. I really must say i am surprised by this game, it was a pretty decent game. Had a good 2-3 jumpscares, that really got me ahahha The atmosphere was good. The only problem i really had was music,i did not have any... almost, only sometimes it will pop up for i don't know 5-10 sec and again gone, and when i use the phone i only again have music for 1-2 sec. But not really a big problem at all. Really loved the story, that really surprised me, especially for like a small indie game. The ending had a good [spoiler]twist[/spoiler] i also did not expect that whatsoever, that blew my mind, for a game like this was really cool. Yea, overall decent game. Congrats DEVS <3

This is "cry of fear" with a new wrapper. If you liked that then you will like this. Small and neatly packed, the game has some good horror development but unfortunately suffers from the same thing as most small games..... limited enemies and puzzles. The atmosphere and story and fairly standard for a game like this (see "cry of fear"), however the feeling of the game as it is more polished comes across. The ditching of a HUD, the audio effects were just chilling. For a cheap little thriller, this is a good choice.

I look at the negative reviews and im like these guys need to chill this game is most likely made by 1-2 guys only i myself enjoyed this "experince " the story the twist of events the classic gunplay and game mechanics if one day youre wondering " hmm what should i play today " or " i dont have any games to play " pick this one up and enjoy the experince its a good short one

Alot of potential here. One of the better low-budget games I have played recently. Maybe a few more different enemies, and explain the story just a bit more. But for the rest I think this game was worth the money I paid for it.

03.04 is a Horror FPS about your death and suffering. You have to suffer your 3 sins, and while you do that, a guy messaging you to your phone to give instructions and tell what is going on. I have mixed feelings about this game. The game looks generic at the first place, but some effect are looks really good. There are a lot of deteails in the weapon models and the mechanics about it. Sounds are also okay, but it can be a bit boring. The music is really quiet, but I also liked it through out the game. Controlls are pretty easy to work with, but sometimes it not registering the ammo checks, which is weird a bit. The problem with the game for me it's the plot. At the first place it sounds good, and you have to move through different levels and you will start know what you did, which are pretty sick things. Sadly, some of the writings and other media elements in the game is in russian, so I couldn't quite catch those things. The plot has some weird elements, at the school maps about religion, and the end was kinda forced and the final twist wasn't that big of think, more like it expected. The gameplay it self is simple, do the objectives, kill things and search keys. It feels a bit repetitive and also I get sick of scripts and invisible walls in the game. That's why I really can't recommend it. Full of scripts and invisible walls, the story intresting at the first place, but really has no deep... it has some hard stuff, but for me it didn't worked. The arena gamemode is an intresting way to play it, but again it didn't made me intrested in. In your place, I wouldn't bother with this game, but if you got some cash and 1 and half hour free time, you can try it. For me, I didn't got excited about it.

If you're a fan of old school survival horror where resource management and combat were a challenge, this may be exactly what you're looking for. Admittedly, I am bad at all games. Even says so on my profile. :P I couldn't get all the way to the end in this just yet. This reminds me of the old horror survivor games where you had to restart a few times because you want to manage your bullets or health boosts better. The game gets more fun as you improve because it's really challenging. Have I mentioned the puzzles yet? There are puzzles that are a little tricky, but once you get used to how the game is played they get a lot easier. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the messages on the cell phone that would pop up. Sometimes they were helpful, other times they would make me roll my eyes. :P One day I will finish this game. But until then, all I can do is tell people how fun it is. And at a $2 price point(now on sale for $0.75) it's totally a steal.

You may be wondering to yourself, what is 03.04? Well, quite simply... it's the day that you died. You are a sinner, an overall terrible person who spent their entire life cheating, lying, stealing, and murdering. Now in death, you must atone for your three biggest crimes, while facing your inner demons on a journey through purgatory. If successful, you just might have a chance at ascending to Heaven. However, if you fail, you're most assured to go to Hell for all eternity. So, with all that said it's important to point out that 03.04 is yet another indie Russian horror game, but this time it's actually one worth playing; it's not some 10-minute dumpster fire put together with stolen assets and a billion achievements. Don't expect some easy-to-understand story, though, as a good portion of the text is lost in translation. Much of it, however, can sort of be pieced together with some good guesses, and you'll end up getting the general gist of what's going on... mostly. The rough translation is honestly the biggest flaw of this title, but it's the dark, genuinely scary atmosphere that should keep you playing for its 2-3 hour duration. The atmosphere is actually really well done, despite the music either not being present or not wanting to work a good portion of the time. That flaw leaves the natural ambience to shine through and create a sense of tense, quiet dread, as no audible queues are present to let you know when an enemy might sneak up on you out of nowhere. Audio queues are the modern bane of most horror games, ensuring that you know when a scare is about to happen; this game follows the old rule that there is no "scare warning" courtesy, and it also doesn't rely on jump scares. The dark, sparse lighting also adds to the overall foreboding atmosphere, leaving you to rely on your flashlight to illuminate most nooks and crannies. It's very reminiscent of the amazing, simple-yet-chilling atmosphere found in Cry of Fear. The demons don't always make noise, either. Sometimes you'll cautiously wander into a room to find yourself face-to-face with a snarling beast, as you stumble backwards and try to either get your shotgun out or down the entity quickly with your pistol. There's a true sense of horror instilled because of this, and it forces you to slow down and check every corner of each room before pushing onward; especially since the slightest noise, such as a radio or TV suddenly coming on, can cause these foes to rise from their resting places and converge on you. The ammo and health pick-ups are also sparing enough to cause this game to be considered survival horror, especially if you're playing it on its Hardcore mode, which negates weapons and saving. With the good must also come the bad, but thankfully there isn't really that much to gripe about. First and foremost, aside from the previously mentioned awful translation, is the lack of rebindable controls. This wouldn't be so much of a problem if the controls weren't weirdly bound by default; L activates the flashlight (which should be F), F opens up doors and picks up items (which should be E), R reloads the weapon, Q checks the amount of ammo left in the weapon since there is no HUD for that (and it's a cool feature, honestly), Shift sprints, and CTRL crouches. It's not the most horrific control scheme on the market, and it's more akin to old-school FPS gameplay such as Counter-Strike, but it's still odd to have to get re-used to it. Personally, I never expect much from these cheap games, especially a title that only costs $2.29 CAD when it's not on sale. Surprisingly, 03.04 isn't like the majority of the other cheap titles, and it's actually good; it's shockingly good, in fact, especially for a debut release from a one-man development 'team'. However, by buying this release you may be supporting a weeb with a Nazi obsession, if going off of their public VK posts is any indication of their real personality and interests. There's also a really weird, out-of-place line about Islam in the game, but it's neither here nor there... at least not in the English translation. Overlooking all of that, it's still a really fun and scary indie horror game.

This game is ok, it does get a little repetitive when you fight the same monster 50 times but for the price it's fine. So if you want a ok horror expires then get it but it's not scary.

A reasonable length horror game depending on its achievement types. The game has story mode and survival both. So, recommended for achievement hunters who will like a bit challenge. During my play through I did not find any remarkable bug [spoiler](as long as you are not crossing the fog; or is it?)[/spoiler]. So, a bug free neat game. I recommend this highly to horror lovers also. Check my guide... https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2754324395

While this game may not be perfect, it's one of the better ones that's I've come across for such a low price. Despite the fact that Unity often gets written off when it comes to horror titles, it doesn't feel like this one was rushed together or cheaply made. The monster design is pretty well done, and it's nice to have a flash light that doesn't run out constantly. While the story isn't insanely orginal, it manages to carry the game well and give it a really haunting vibe. The only problem is that some of the translations aren't finished, and you won't be able to understand anything spoken yet. I hope the developer fixes this, but it's nothing that truly hinders the game. Really, I feel I'm getting my money's worth.
