There are 15 nights in the game, and up until night 10 it was almost perfect for me—well-paced, with superb atmosphere. Starting from night 10, however, things get chaotic. In particular, night 10 and 14 (if I remember correctly) are the classic "survive x minutes" segments where the gameplay essentially reduces to a loop: 1. the monster spawns 2. it grabs one of your kids 3. you find the monster and drive it off 4. back to step 1. The repetition sets in quickly, and it becomes annoying because the monster snatches your kids far too often—sometimes just seconds after you've chased it away. To make matters worse, the monster is buggy (at least from my experience). It can hit you through walls or trap you inside furniture, among other odd things. These glitches kill any tension or fear, and I'd say this is the weakest part of the game. The final night deserves a mention too. It features a kind of "boss fight" that sounds cool in theory (you have to kill one monster while navigating around another), but in practice it feels underwhelming due to all the glitches. The monsters don't do anything particularly new or interesting either. If you can't beat it on the first try, your enjoyment will likely diminish with each subsequent attempt. Even though I've spent most of this review pointing out the game's flaws, I still like it and would recommend it to fans of the genre. In fact, I'd even go as far as to call it one of the best indie horror games I've ever played. It's wonky nature—while frustrating at times—is part of what makes this game unique and memorable. Kyle being a brat with the toy bricks is genuinely one of the funniest moments I've had in a game in a long while. A couple of practical tips: if you care about getting the "perfect ending" where both kids survive, I suggest you manually back up your save files starting from night 9, as the kids die permanently even if you quit and reload. Also, if you have trouble launching the game, check the discussion board for a thread titled "Can't open the game". Someone posted a line of code in the comments (many thanks to the person who shared it); paste it into the game's launch options and it should run. It worked for me.
The most corrupted thing that i saw in my entire life. Shtty graphics, corrupted textures, great story that you can't understand, locked to 30 fps, menu doesn't work, sounds are blasting as hell. At the end of the game two things happen, your eyes bleed and you cannot hear anymore. Overall... AWESOME GAME! 9/10
An absolutely brilliant horror game that completely exceeded my expectations and is one of the most memorable horror games I’ve ever played. The story is incredibly well written, and the way the gameplay builds on it is truly unique. Everything fits together perfectly and enhances the horror in a way you don’t see very often. The protagonist’s mental decline is so well done that you can understand every step she takes, even as she becomes more and more desperate. The art style is outstanding and the atmosphere stays nerve-wracking throughout the entire game. You’re not really afraid of dying, but rather of losing your own children, and that makes the horror even more intense. The permadeath mechanic also increases the pressure massively, as every mistake immediately feels like a complete catastrophe.
