Paranormal

Game review

I really wanted to like this game, it's such a brilliant idea, maybe so brilliant that it's a little hard to pull off. Now I'll be the 1st to admit that this review is a little bias in the sense that I only played a few variations of the old beta builds. However those builds were all so similar in the way they played, the scares, the sound design and level design that I kinda figured that that's what they want the game to be. While I respect that, I will say it wasn't scary... which kinda defeats the purpose. Was it a total fail? No, it made me uneasy a few times, but it's basically the same effect as watching a Salad Fingers episode while tired. The whole setup for those of you who are yet to play is that you aimlessly meander around your tiny house and stuff just sort of happens around you, what kind of stuff you ask? Well it ranges from pieces of furniature moving in the dark where you can't see it moving, little wooden dolls getting in your way and trapping you until the game decides to let you move again, stuff happening behind you and yes everyones favourite; cheap jump scares. I feel kind of let down, like this idea had so much more it could give and instead I got to walk around some guys house waiting for the next thing to shout boo at me. Maybe the newer versions have a little more to give, but I'm not paying to find out. By all means go and check out the beta builds that you can find free on google but I make no promise that you'll like what you find.

2/10 Disappointing at best
