Nice little FREE game to play. Lasts about 30 minutes. Its like reading a short story but you're playing it and learning it at the same time.

Fingerbones is a short albeit effective little mood piece, and is one of the earlier works by David Szymanski. While the game explores concepts that aren't exactly new or exciting, the presentation and simplistic nature left my skin crawling as I played through it. While I wouldn't recommend it as one's first foray into Szymanski's work, I found it to still be novel in it's own way and enjoyed the time I spent with it. If you're familiar with Szymanski's work, the graphics will be what you expect; low fidelity yet charming in their own right. I found the music and sound design to be the weakest point of the game personally, as the soundtrack is basically an ambient drone playing at different pitches, and the sounds sound like they'd have come from a 'horror atmos' sample pack meant to be used in student level film or similar. I'll return to this game in the future and play through it again in time. If you're looking for a bone-chilling way to spend a small portion of your day, give this a shot.

The door that exits the game looks the same as all the other doors and I clicked it by mistake 3 times. There is no save function. This wasted like ten minutes of time all together. There isn't much to see here, though it's a testament to Szymanski's skill at producing a dreadful atmosphere with some very simple tools.

More of a mood piece than an actual game. There is a story you can piece together from notes left behind and they grow more uncomfortable as you proceed, giving you insight into a disturbed mind with the horror of finding out what that person did coming closer with every bit of progress you make. It's creepy enough to warrant a playthrough, but I think it kind of wastes its potential as there was more to the setting and idea that would've allowed for a more complex game and narrative this concept could've been developed into. The visuals are "low tech" or whatever you want to call it, but really well done with lighting, dust and gritty surfaces creating a style and atmosphere fit for a horror game and the audio supports the feeling of unease.

A dark little game with an eerie atmosphere that draws you in deeper. Was a little disappointed by the dated graphics, as they were a little low res for my liking. If you are a fan of psychological, and escape room style games, then this is worth checking out. Plus it is FREE. Full Disclosure: I did not do that great at it. Don't take my word for it, and check out my video by clicking on the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rJq1v04bPI
