Probably one of my most favorite horror games of all time. While the gameplay mechanics can feel a bit clunky at times, the story and atmosphere MORE than make up for it! The twists and turns that the story takes keeps you on the edge of your seat, theorizing theory after theory as to what's going on, only to most likely crush them with a reveal just around the corner. I also absolutely ADORE the voice effects used for the Host, and it's amazing to hear with headphones! Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this game!

Spooky Spooks! Puzzles and scares as you discover your true self, what lies deep within you, something you'd never let people know. Plenty of endings to find for great eye-gouging replayability! https://youtu.be/3GzMU38Ek40

This game is amazing. It brings my favourite form of horror into my favourite style of horror game. Anyone interested in a twisted tale that will both turn your stomach and leave you wanting to know more should really play this game. As soon as I finished the free game I paid for the dlcs. Honestly I believe I've found my new favourite indie developer.

I feel like this could be a horror game gem, just like other RPG Maker horror-themed games like Yume Nikki and Ib. Close Your Eyes centers around a character who escapes from death row. As you play the game you will have to solve a few puzzles, and along the way, more and more of the story gets revealed as to who this character is and why they were to be executed. Accompanied by haunting visuals and a constant air of suspense, a pretty disturbing and creepy story unfolds The game has a unique art style, which seems 100% original instead of using RPG Maker's preset tiles, etc. It might not be highly detailed or not even to everyone's taste, but I felt like the childlike style of drawings and the even cutesy appearance of the main character just added to the scariness of the game. There are also multiple endings so your experience doesn't necessarily end once you finish the game the first time. People might underestimate the capabilites RPG Maker games have, but if done right, you can be as emersed in them as any triple A horror title. This game sets up the atmosphere excellently. The ambience and visual are done incredibly well - enough to give you the feeling of being on edge. And it does a great job of luring you into a sense of relaxation during parts that aren't so suspenseful. The sound is also great as well as the voice acting. The Host has some chilling dailogue that is only enhanced by his haunting voice. This game has jump scares, but they hardly ever felt cheap. A lot of the time they are built up to - you know they'll happen and thats what makes it worse. And there were hardly any parts too difficult that might break the atmosphere of the game (sans a chase scene that might get a little frustrating until you figure it out). Overall, I very highly recommend this game if you're looking for a unique horror experience. And best of all - it's free. If you are a fan, like me, of RPG Maker horror-themed games like Ib (which I feel this game is at least somewhat influenced by), Yume Nikki, .flow, Space Funeral, or even the Witch's House and Off, I urge you even more to give this game a try. And make sure to play with dim lighting, headphones, and in full screen or at least large windowed mode for best effect!

If you like silent hills and any other creepy game I recommend this. Very little jump scares, but a very deep story and excellent atmosphere. Tons of puzzles and different endings. You would love this game if you looking for those things.
