April 2025
This game reminds me a bit of Firewatch. While there’s is a little more to do than Firewatch, some running, some combat, some find key, open door sequences, The Shore is more of an interactive story that unfolds as you explore by walking around. If you’re really into Lovecraftian tales and the Cthulhu Mythos, it’s enjoyable. The story is interesting enough to keep moving forward. What I found frustrating about the game was there is no map system and it is sometimes difficult to figure out where to go or where you’ve been. It is also, at times, difficult to discern where you may walk and where you may not walk. Overall, an average game experience that I enjoyed, but others may not.

Overall not a bad experience, although a bit short. Had a similar vibe like the solus project. Pros: -Nice visuals -okay-ish story -fantastic sound design cons: -rather poor va, like a 4/10. -short If you're a fan of lovecraftian stufff it's worth playing it imo

The game is a little rough but I enjoyed my time with it. Only about 2 hours, and the second hour very quickly turns into a Tool music video, but I do like the atmosphere. I paid $1.67 CAD for this game, and I think that is a great price for it since it's definitely around the $5 mark.

The shore had been on my wishlist for forever before i finally decided to pull the trigger during the halloween sale. The first half of this game is amazing and i 100% enjoyed it. walking aorund, reading notes, collecting random things and just exploring is awesome and a really good way to present this mythos-inspired game. I loved the atmosphere, the lore, the statues you can find, walking along the shore and seeing all the creepy things.... The second half of the game I didn't quite like as much, it is filled with monsters you have to escape or fight and i often found myself getting frustrated with these sequences. I understand that it is probably intentional because you are meant to feel helpless against these creatures but it still wasn't a good gaming experience. I also often struggled to find the way i was meant to go and kinda fumbled my way through or had to look up a guide because i was so lost. The lack of direction is an issue throughout the whole game but it didn't bug me as much during the first half. I sadly experiences some sort of bug during the last few minutes of the game, the subtitles didn't work for everything that was said and i missed large chunks of the dialogues. Sometimes there were also multiple audiofiles playing at the same time. The story was pretty good and i liked the little twist in the end.
