I like the game and had a good time with it. The Progression is well done and never too confusing. It is clearly a passion Project and I will play the full Game. however...... in my humble opinion.... I think the Story and Aesthetic, is a bit too much a Fan-Service for Silent Hill and Twin Peaks Fans. Don't get me wrong....I love both of these Things. But I wish it had more of his own Identity. I still recommend it though.

Uncover A Dark Mystery In Lake Haven On October 7th, at 9 PM the Kansas police department receives a call from an old woman called Marianne Lambert, who is acting out of concern for her younger friend Eleanor Robertson. According to Mrs Lambert, Eleanor hasn't picked up the phone in 13 days, and her letters have gone unanswered. Detective Zeke Reynold is called to investigate what he assumes will be another case he'll quickly forget, but what he finds will be sewn into the fabric of his existence forever. "Chrysalis" is the prologue chapter to the upcoming game "Lake Haven". It serves as a foreword to the mind-bending and surreal mystery that is to follow... Experience the story of Zeke Reynold as he becomes intrinsically bound to the shady happenings in Lake Haven. [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/ATReviews]Follow My Review Group Here! 💾Graphics - Lake Haven - Chrysalis does a great job recreating the classic PS1 horror aesthetic, with low-poly environments, fixed camera angles, fog, and gritty textures. The visuals give the game a strong nostalgic identity and help create its unsettling atmosphere. Some character models can look a little rough, but overall the retro presentation works extremely well. 🎮Gameplay - The gameplay focuses mostly on exploration, investigation, and puzzles. The puzzles are generally decent and fit the classic survival-horror style without becoming overly frustrating. The main weakness is the combat—the gun feels mostly useless and doesn't add much to the experience. The fixed-camera controls can also occasionally be awkward, but they fit the game's Silent Hill-inspired design. 📜Story - The mystery surrounding Eleanor and the strange events in Lake Haven is interesting and creates a strong Silent Hill-like vibe. However, the biggest issue is the length. The story is extremely short and feels more like a demo than a complete game, which makes the ending feel abrupt. I get it’s a prologue, but I would still like a bit more world building and story. Still, it does a good job of establishing an intriguing world that leaves you wanting more. 🕛Playtime - The game is very short. I got stuck on a puzzle and I still beat this game in little over an hour. 🎧Sound - The soundtrack is one of the game's strongest aspects. The music fits the eerie atmosphere extremely well and helps sell the feeling of classic psychological horror. The environmental sounds and unsettling audio effects also contribute to the Silent Hill-style atmosphere. Overall, the sound design gives the game much more personality than its short runtime might suggest. ❗Bugs❗- I experienced no bugs or glitches in this game. 🔅Performance - Performance is what you expect. It runs perfectly well and the game runs on a locked 60 fps. No crashes or stutters to report. ✔️Pro’s✔️ [*]Nice soundtrack [*]Classic PS1 style visuals [*]Decent puzzles to solve [*]Gives a Silent Hill vibe to it ❌Con’s❌ [*]Gun feels basically useless [*]Extremely short story (felt more like a demo) 🏆Rating - 7/10 This game is super cheap so full price is fine. 🔗Conclusion - Lake Haven - Chrysalis is a well-made PS1-style horror experience with great atmosphere, a nice soundtrack, decent puzzles, and a strong Silent Hill influence. Its biggest problems are the useless gun and extremely short story, which makes it feel more like a demo than a full game. Still, if you enjoy classic survival horror and retro visuals, there's a lot to appreciate here. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1696960/Lake_Haven__Chrysalis/

Very good. The vibes were on point. Sometimes the camera wasn't being helpful at all though. Hopefully the full game will get finished some day, because I'll certainly be buying it.

Lake Haven Chrysalis was an awesome experience from start to finish. If your a fan of the Silent Hill movies or games or classic Resident Evil games , you'll definitely love this. The game has that same tense, creepy atmosphere where your constantly on edge, solving puzzle's, and trying to survive 10/10.
