+ Beautiful sound design + Creepy atmosphere + Relatively challenging gameplay + Mind-blowing plot - Having to figure out everything for yourself without any cut-scenes or explanations may be considered as a flaw. On the other hand, that is exactly what makes the game engaging, difficult and demanding. SPOILER: Repeated phrase "Stop the water, start the fire" – actually hints at the main goal throughout the whole game!
Definately a solid title, but nothing amazing. I liked the atmosphere and the story was rather interesting. Sometimes the game got repetative, but that really only added to the atmosphere, in my opinion. The graphics were decent, and I thought the sound design was excellent. I can say that it isn't anything amazing or special, but if you're looking for a game that is definately scary and definately good.
If you like horror games this game is a must! Hektor is like a mix of Amnesia and The Stanley Parable. Amnesia because no weapons and you find items and it's like The Stanley Parable because you'll walk down a corridor to a dead end then turn around and find your path completely changed. One time I kept walking through a looping sequence and didn't know where to go so I decided to turn around and walk the other direction...only to find the path changed and was able to go to a new area! Another interesting fear factor to this game is that unlike most horror games that drive the fear and jump scares right from the beginning, Hektor sort of toys with you for a while. It leaves you wondering when it's going to do it. Dark corridors, lights blowing out, whispers in the dark...at one point I was nearly begging for the game to just come get me so I'd have some form of closure, LOL! Play this game at night with headphones on, if you dare! Pros Very creepy! Irregular paths, changing environment. Unpredictable scare moments. Find items to proceed - sense of quest. Things will come get you...but when? Cons No real storyline. Sometimes hard to figure out what to do to proceed. Ending - I was left scratching my head. Pills - you take them to keep your sanity but they don't seem to do very much. Sanity effect - as your character looses sanity the screen twists and changes color. The twisting and swaying is a bit too much and if you have motion sickness sensitivity that may be a big issue for some gamers. By default it's set to 100%. Do yourself a favor and turn it down in settings. Rare glitch - toward the end of the game I encountered a glitch where the area kept looping. Normally this can happen if you require an item but not in my case. There was no way out of this loop. If this occurs just restart the game and it should get back on track.
When I first time played the game, it was scary, no questions asked! But when you finish the game and start all over... well for me it has no replay value. Except maybe try to hunt for those achiements, but I'm not much of a ''achiement hunter''. Sometimes I do hunt those too :> but these days I don't have much time, nor do I care much of that stuff anymore. I was just looking for a good horror game. And it was at first, but after the first run, it stops being scary. Because it offers nothing new :/ For that reason I think 20 bucks for this game is a bit too much. I'd rather spend 5... When you see this at sales for 5 dollars, crab it! (Now there is also a demo for you to try, so try that first.)
