My review of Shadows Peak is pretty mixed. At first, the game seemed quite interesting, but the story ended up being a bit confusing. First, there was some kind of demon summoned inside the house, and then aliens appeared, abducted people, and started terrorizing the Earth. I was even abducted several times during the game. In the end, the reason behind the abductions was explained, so the story was okay overall. What really annoyed me, though, was that the game crashed several times while I was recording my Let’s Play. Because of that, I lost footage that I could not recover. On top of that, the game does not have a function to reload older save files, which made the whole experience even more frustrating. So in the end, my opinion on Shadows Peak is 50/50.

This games plot is WILD. Its so particular and weird that it is...good and bad at the same time. It has its moments but overall it does leave an odd impression. After all Andrii crafted what he knows best, a damn immersive and atmospheric world. Interesting exploration, no handholding and cool points of interest. Im coming from both Witch Hunt and Skinwalker Hunt to check his older entries and i really enjoyed having a sort of clear story to follow instead of being thrown into an open world with a single hunt objective. Its a very short game so i definitely recommend a sale here, if you like his new games youre gonna like Shadows Peak too, otherwise you might wanna check some minutes of a walkthrough on YT before you purchase.

Had a good time and thanks for doing your thing! Love the style.

Esse jogo....Eu não sei oque exatamente ele quer. O ritmo é constantemente interrompido pela necessidade constante de se situar e explorar um mapa que parece ser feito em blocos que se conectam miseravelmente. Cansativo. Além disso, que plot maluco? Assim, Gua tem ótimos jogos. Witch Hunter é muito divertido e merece muito a chance pra quem quiser jogar, mas Shadows Peak...Bom, deveria ficar na sombra realmente.

Уж простите разработчики такой прекрасной игры как "Witch Hunt", но я не могу поставить данному проекту положительный отзыв, была бы возможность, поставил бы что-то нейтральное, но не положительное точно. Игра получилась очень нудной, скучной, не особо интересной и даже не страшной, меня не напугал ни один скример и ни одна побегушка от существ...

[h3] Осторожно, возможны спойлеры[/h3]

Данную игру я бы разделил на 2 части, в первой мы бродим с ножиком по лесу и исследуем местности, типа пугаемся скримеров, звуков и прочей фигни и бегаем от чертовых призраков, которые никак не пугают, а лишь раздражают - их много, очень много, их нельзя убить, от них нельзя избавиться, а некоторые бегут за тобой 5 киллометров и не хотят останавливаться, в общем ошибка добавлять их в таком количестве и не давать способа борьбы с ними. Задача же найти 3 души из трупов. По интересности я бы оценил первую часть игры на 4/10

Во второй же части нам во владение дают полноценную винтовку и игра вообще теряет весь страх, ведь все отстреливаются налево и направо, даже финальный босс это тупо стрельба в него пока не попадешь раз 30, вообще скукота и неинтересно, глупо и странно. Цель во второй части убить 3 животных, а затем убить главного зверя, я бы описал вторую часть как длительные побегушки туда-обратно и так раза 3-4, это ужас, очень нудно. Здесь врагами выступают....инопланетяне.....мда....Здесь интерес я бы оценил на 2/10.

По сравнению с вышеупомянутой Wich Hunt, данный проект очень скучный, не страшный, не атмосферный и неинтересный.
Вывод: если очень сильно хочется, то по скидке за 77 рублей взять можно, этих денег на эту игру я не жалею, хоть и не очень интересно (ещё мягко сказано), но вспомнить вайбы Witch Hunt было приятно, но большего к сожалению она не заслуживает.

- Very nice game taken account that only one independent developer made because got two such a large open world areas etc.. many do only some short 30-40min mostly boring horror games with very small game world.

- But if not taken that account game world feels sometimes little bit boring especially part two when you need run over the same area again and again and do boring fps stylish shooting with crappy enemy animations/AI

- Controls/game play sometimes are very janky/annoying example get stuck easily places and when you need to run got annoying delay before character starts to run and boss battle is very annoying because sometimes beast bites you partly through the stone pillar etc or you get stuck inside the beast..

- Also animations are very poor and game crashes sometimes after exiting the cave in first part often and one time freezes when the end cut scene need to be roll and game end but it got stuck here and it`s very annoying if you try no save crystals achievement run and game crashes game still luckily saves some parts so not a whole game again still so not very big problem and sometimes game freezes my computer after exiting so i need to log out.

- Nice thing that got two open world areas and those are nice to explore mostly and enemies are different stylish no same always and story is okay. atmosphere is sometimes nice/scary too.

- Nice to play through but nothing special, ok game so maybe 6/10 on this because got it goodly discounted price, in full price maybe 5/10 or 4/10 game in my opinion.

Es ist nicht alles schlecht an dem Spiel. Die Atmosphäre ist über weite Strecken solide und auch das Erkunden der Insel ist so weit ganz nett. Leider ist der Rest sehr unterdurchschnittlich.
Die Gegner sind einfach nur nervige Schießbudenfiguren, die auch hätten raus bleiben können. Wie so oft in Horror Games mach die das Spiel ehr schlechter. Es waren auch einfach viel zu viele. Die Endgegner sind an Dummheit kaum noch zu überbieten. Der zweite ist einfach nur ein dämlicher Bullitsponge.
Die Quests gehen auch nicht "über suche dies und bringe es dahin" hinaus. Das ist manchmal auf der etwas zu großen Karte und der ständigen Dunkelheit aber auch nicht so einfach. Das Spiel sagt einem auch so wenig wie möglich. Auf der Karte ist rein gar nichts eingezeichnet und die war für mich völlig nutzlos.
Wobei das auch manchmal gut sein kann. Das Spie nimmt einen null an die Hand. Es heißt finde Benzin. Aber es gibt keine Tankstelle und nichts hier. Also muss man überlegen. Das ist etwas, das viele Games halt nicht mehr machen. Und dafür gibt es hier auch noch mal Pluspunkte.
Gäbe es hier nicht auch noch technische Probleme, hätte ich wohl auch gerade noch einen Daumen nach oben geben können. Aber insgesamt hatte ich 2 Abstürze im Game und als ich es beendet habe auch noch einen, wo ich den Rechner neu starten musste.

TLDR; Game's confused on what it should be- but I had fun playing it.

Spoilers ahead

Part 1: [spoiler]It started out extremely strong. You and your fiance went to an island, you two are split up under mysterious circumstances. It was like an investigative horror game where you'd enter multiple scenes of people dead, dying, or you being responsible for their death. Once you collected all 4 souls you can visit your fiance on the pier- and then a giant alien saucer abducts the both of you. Then you play as a character locked away in a lighthouse on the same island, see the corpse of your sister. Then you play as the character who locked himself in a trailer for the first part of the game.[/spoiler]

Part 2: [spoiler]So the character you played as right at the end of part 1 is a hunter and went out to go hunt some creature in a hunting ground area or something like that. Super simplified; you kill 3 animals, inject their body with some sleeping medicine, go back to see if the creature ate their body, follow the creature, and kill it in a cave. Apparently the creature is actually created by the aliens to harvest human souls (because it's the most powerful energy source says the aliens), so they can fly humans to a new planet so they prosper. Right at the very end of the game I got used to shooting the aliens but by the Gods did this game give me whiplash on the reveal of the aliens.[/spoiler]

Is this game worth $10? I'd argue it's worth half the price. It's rough around the edges but fun to play.

The story is not that bad for an indie game. The writing is simple yet lacking for a story-focused game.

I like the graphics/art. I guess it's a personal taste for aesthetics. Not just this game, but his other games too like Witch Hunt and a preview of Skinwalker Hunt.

The world-building is okay, at least not generic. Some parts are interesting. Sometimes, you may see things that do not make sense to be there. Nonetheless, I think it's acceptable for his first ambitious game.

The mechanics are my favorite ones regardless of their simplicity. Hmm, I think I just enjoy experiencing indie games in general.

The only issue I noticed is that the game sometimes randomly closes when alt + tabbing. Other than that, I have not experienced performance or other issues.

Overall, I enjoyed playing the game. I'll stay in touch with his upcoming works.

完全割裂的游戏风格：游戏共两章，第一章还是鬼魂和恶魔元素的步行模拟，第二章突然变成外星人和怪物主题的生存恐怖，如此突兀的转变让人十分怀疑制作方是将两个不同的游戏粗暴的缝合
过于杂乱的关卡：尽管无引导探索是简介中宣传的特色，但游戏自身对于无引导的处理实在太粗糙了,毫无指引的任务配上昏暗杂乱的地图，使得玩家可能在地图里乱转半个小时还不清楚自己要干嘛
无聊的地图探索：尽管有着出色的氛围渲染，但内容本身实在是太过匮乏，大多数场景的空洞无物使得探索的动力严重不足，随主线发展而产生的堆怪的问题更是让自由走动费力不讨好
反人类的成就设计：两个小时左右的游戏流程为了拖时间，搞了一大堆反人类成就

This is the best example of a mixed bag. There are some great ideas in here but it feels like there should have been someone standing over the shoulder of this bloke saying "maybe dont put that in there". Saying that i have played Witch Hunt and that is a fantastic game and just shows how talented this developer is. I really want to see him develop new ideas and improve on his foundation. He has the skills and passion and that is a rare thing in this day and age. Best of luck to him.

Nice, creepy atmosphere in a small open world.

First half of the game is probably the best - second half gets a bit weird and plenty weirder by the end.

I enjoyed it.

It's creepy but not oh I ♥♥♥♥ my pants scary... There's next to no jump scares by my definition of them. As long you don't get jump scared by farts then you'll be fine.

You get to shoot stuff in the second half of the game.

Sound design is pretty good.

Pretty cheap when on sale.

Le positif :

- jeu TRÈS intriguant et atmosphérique dans lequel vous devez retrouver votre douce moitié disparue lors de vacances sur une petite île bien tranquille.

Le négatif :

- vous ne pouvez éviter certains ennemis qui vous ferons perdre 50 HP ! (et parfois, ils sont DEUX !!!))
- votre HP régénère à raison de 1 point par tranche de 15 secondes !!!
- il y a peu de trousses de premiers soins.

Je comprends que ce soit un jeu de survie mais quand même ! Etre obligé de laisser son personnage AFK durant plusieurs minutes afin qu'il récupère est ennuyeux.

C'est vraiment dommage de laisser une noté négative à un jeu au si grand potentiel. Si les points mentionnés sont révisés en conséquence, il me fera plaisir de revoir mon évaluation à la hausse.

Plot-wise Shadows Peak is one of the worst games i've ever played. This is an odd mix of sci-fi, mystics and other quite incompatible genres.

[spoiler] The game contains: stereotypical looking (grey, big-headed, wide-eyed) aliens, controlling people's minds; beasts; souls, ghosts (both of aliens and humans); curses; demons; a prayer from Bible, that actually works... Thriller part of Shadows Peak dies because of this absurd. Horror part dies due to badly implemented screamers and atmosphere, ruined by a few factors. Ghosts on the first location are not scary, because it is easy to run away from them. They are no danger, they can only slowly chase protagonist and loudly scream due to hopelessness in attempts to kill their enemy. Aliens on the second location are not frightening, because it is easy to shoot them. For whatever reason, they also can't deal player any damage, if player is bent down (except for psy-aliens, dealing damage distantly, when protagonist is in certain proximity range). The last chapter changes game's tone dramatically, it feels kind of abruptly, likewise the development of the whole story. [/spoiler]

Gameplay-wise Shadows Peak is a classic walking simulator with a few additional mechanics like sniper rifle shooting in the third (last) chapter. This part of the game is mediocre, but acceptable for a low-budget indie, the same can be said about graphics, physics and other technical aspects.

The locations are not immersive, designed quite poorly, especially the first one - ugly coastal rocky piece of land with a few points of interest, but, nevertheless, this is the best part of the game - exploring. The second location feels bigger, it is harder to navigate, a player has a map of it from the beginning, so it is quite interesting to move around, finding clues, where you are right now.

Summarizing, there is only one reason to play Shadows Peak: if you do like indie-horrors, walking simulators and can withstand really bad scripts.

Em um ano que tivemos o grandioso what remains of edith finch, perception e o grandioso hello neighbor, tivemos também alguns jogos menores e até menos populares, como shadows peak. Me lembro de estar atento nele desde 2018 e no seu ano de publicação ( 2017), porém decidi esperar uma promoção e priorizar outros jogos, como os dois primeiros citados acima. Então eis que em 2024, seis anos após o lançamento deste jogo eu decidi investir meu suado dinheiro nele, assim como investi também em outro jogo da mesma empresa, e achando que seria diferente de witch hunt, eu fui ingênuo e comprei este jogo na esperança de ser um pouco melhor e mais caprichado... e me arrependi bastante com o investimento.
Na parte artística, realmente parece que a Andrii Vintsevych games consegue ser bem competente e realmente caprichosa quando se trata da construção de cenários, inimigos e trilha sonora. Apesar de haver um claro padrão e reciclagem de itens artísticos entre Shadows peak e Witch hunt, ainda sim consegue ser bonito e caprichado. Neste caso, não vejo a reciclagem de itens como algo ruim, mas como algo necessário para cortar custos e até para agilizar e facilitar o processo de criação.
A trilha sonora é boa, se valendo muito do som ambiente e músicas um pouco repetidas, porém ainda sim bem colocadas e que se mantém com qualidade. A parte sonora, de forma geral também é boa.
A gameplay já é o fator mais negativo aqui, pois o padrão de mundo aberto neste tipo de jogo é um tanto quanto ruim, principalmente quando temos uma gameplay muito travada, bugada e que não responde bem. Não adianta te jogar em um campo aberto, sem absolutamente nada e de bônus uma gameplay ruim, isso prejudica muito. Em menos de uma hora, me deparei com paredes invisíveis, me tranquei em vários cantos e meu jogo teve quedas de FPS, o único problema que não tive foi do jogo crashar e fechar sozinho, mas fora isso eu tive vários problemas.
Shadows peak, assim como witch hunt possuem uma proposta inicial boa e são jogos que tinham potencial enorme, mas que na minha opinião foram ofuscados pela gameplay ruim e sem o polimento suficiente. Eu sei que o jogo é de baixo orçamento e talvez os desenvolvedores não tivessem muitos recursos, mas creio que seria interessante dedicar um pouco mais de tempo e lançar um patch de correção para estes jogos, ou até uma versão melhorada em uma engine nova... mas creio que aí seja pedir demais... infelizmente não recomendo shadows peak e nem witch hunt, ainda mais sabendo que outros jogos indies de terror foram lançados com muito mais qualidade, além de estarem mais baratos também.

Shadows Peak is a strange game to say the least. It's not a bad game, but I wouldn't necessarily call it a 'great' game. It was made with Unity so that to me is always a little red flag, but that's just me. It's definitely worth a play through, or even a few for achievements. I think the price of 11.49 suits the game well.

All in all I thought it was an alright game, like I said, strange, but it's alright.

For those who like walking adventure horror sims, facing 2 different scenarios with various creepy surprises and sometimes being with a bit unfair difficulty while the actor is clumsy and several foes are approaching from different directions during the second part. The boss fight to be considered tactically so as some other fuzzy guys prior toasting you when coming too close. The save point are well set so no worries about too much loss of progress when being killed. Save often and achieve your paranoid act with an achievement :-). Worth playing so as replying when being a completist for all achievements. Well, always there can be said something negative but I had my pleasure with this short amusement and certain variety of a little Firewatch clone but the fire has been from other nature. Only sad that the actors are workoholics and mainly must play in the night time but else it would be less scary.

After playing Witch Hunt and Skinwalker Hunt, I figured when I saw this game on sale for a few dollars during the Summer Sale, I might as well give it a shot because I loved the other two games.

Now if you read other reviews for this game, you're probably going to see some recurring criticism's, and I get some people feel the way they do, but personally, I loved and found a great deal of charm with this game.

In terms of the game's length, it is relatively short, my first playthrough I was able to complete in pretty much 3 hours exactly, but I have already started a new save and you can easily get some replay-ability out of it, especially from the first half of the game when you're on the island at shadows peek.

In terms of the gameplay, I actually enjoyed both the first half exploring the mysteries of shadows peak, but also then the forest on the Hunt against the creatures that abducted me and the beast they use to maintain and harness their power. In shadows peak, you have mysterious buildings, caverns and caves to explore, a weird unsolved set of murder mysteries, and nice array of spooky characters and malevolent forces to spook you enough. The soundtrack and the voice acting is simple but effective, and in the second half of the game I actually even experienced a couple of genuine jump scares.

I also appreciate how the game has some elements of Witch Hunt and mechanical and gameplay type similarities, so if you liked Witch Hunt, you'll likely appreciate that in this game, and I'd argue Shadows Peak got some things right that I wish they had kept in Witch Hunt in terms of exploration and being able to have save points throughout the game, but I can see why the developer made each game as they did, so its all praise in regards to these things

For the price, Shadows Peak is totally worth the money, and if you can get it on a sale then it just makes it that much more of a steal. If you're looking for a genuinely interesting and fun sort of mystery/horror indie game that isn't too much and that won't take up too much of your time, or simply just wanna take a crack at something new and different, I highly recommend this game and think you'll find it well worth the money and the time you can invest into it.

Less cohesive story than Witch Hunt, and the opening act got a bit annoying. After that, the game opens up with more hunting action picks up. Another fun experience from a solid Indy dev.

Although I could tell this was unpolished and cheesy going in, and I did somewhat enjoy the game play in the moment, the weird [spoiler] inclusion of F*CKING ALIENS [/spoiler] and the nonsensical plot twists ruined the experience. The first section was interesting but after the switch up, it becomes a different game, and the ending was TERRIBLE. I started out feeling like I was playing a game made by David Lynch and then it just... went to sh*t. Also, $11.50 CAD for this? I wish I was able to refund it, for that amount of money. Don't bother!

For the price it's good enough horror experience for a couple of hours of entertainment. Game is split in two halves, with the first part taking part on an island, and the second in a forest. Both are okay, but the game needs some more polish and characters/enemies, because the environment is nice and it seems that more can be done with the story.

My favorite game by this developer is Witch Hunt so I thought I'd give this a try. I actually really enjoyed Shadows Peak and it was fun to explore the island and unravel the mystery. Witch Hunt is still my favorite but this is now tied with being as good as Skinwalker Hunt for me. If you only play one game go with Witch Hunt but if that leaves you hungry for more then pick up this too!

[i]Having just played Gynophobia, here come's the second game made by developer Andrii Vintsevych:[/i]

[h1]SHADOWS PEAK[/h1]

The game is split into two chapters. First chapter consist of exploring the island, finding clues and items to make sense of strange murders and your disappearing wife. That is the part that I'm pretty mixed. The atmospheric part is amazing, making you feel uneasy while roaming the island, finding clues and whatnot. However, the "shadow enemies" are beyond annoying. They cannot be hurt/killed so you gotta run constantly away from them. As the exploration unfolds more of the story, that is where the game change drastically.

In the second chapter, you... take the role of another protagonist. This one though is armed with a hunting rifle. FINALLY, YOU CAN DEFEND YOURSELF! You gotta hunt 3 wild animals in order to attract El Chupacabra, aka The Beast. The big twist is... there are plenty of Grey Aliens wanting to kill you. Thankfully, they are easy to dispose of, all thanks to that hunting rifle. So basically, once you fend off the attacking greys from your objectives, you get a close encounter with that Beast. Afterwards, you meet up a new kind of Grey Alien, the Psychic one that seems impervious to any attack you do to it. Oh and forgot... the annoying shadows are still present in chapter two but very reduced at least.

Many players seemed to have preferred the first chapter in this game. Thinking about my playthough, I preferred the second one more since you can at least defend yourself... and the gameplay was more tense.

I've already mentioned big parts of the story and I'll let you discover the rest for yourself! Don't wanna spoil the ending do I?

[h1]PROS:[/h1]
[b]+Chapter 1 is very atmospheric and you have to explore the large environment. There are times you get some "FIREWATCH" atmosphere vibes in this game... except, creepier!
+Chapter 2 is atmospheric as well, especially as soon as you leave your trailer, the night slowly creeps in and then, the game is becoming way more tense.
+The non-linear gameplay forces you to move around and explore. I know I haven't discovered everything in this game but I had my share of fun for what is worth.
+Pretty mysterious story which will surprise you at the very end.
+For an indie game, the visuals are decent, mostly.
+Support ultrawide resolution and you can adjust FOV too.[/b]

[h1]CONS:[/h1]
[b]-The shadows enemies are beyond annoying.
-Your character doesn't run long, always gotta catch his breath constantly... irritating.
-Strange clipping in ground rocks at times. Had to reload the game to fix it.
-Endgame cinematic crashed. At least, I saved like a few minutes before the ending so not too bad![/b]

[h1]OVERALL:[/h1]
[b]I got mixed feelings with Shadows Peak. While I liked the first chapter for its atmospheric exploration but the enemy shadows tainted my gameplay, chapter two saved the game to me. It was a welcomed drastic change and that even surprises you more right at the very end.[/b]

[h1]RECOMMENDATION:[/h1]
[b]Plain and simply yes. Atmospheric, tense, exploration, mysterious story... this indie game has many good ingredients to make a fun horror game. Therefore, I recommend you give this game a shot someday. You can always try the demo and see for yourself if that is for you.[/b]

A very good hunting game with a very surprising twist. After the first part of the story I was surprised at how the first chapter ended and where it led to. I hope to see the setting from the end of the game make an appearance. Whelp, off to see what Andrii's other games are like. Enjoy!

Am Anfang war ich echt positiv überrascht. Ein grundsätzlich ordentlich gemachtes und sauber optimiertes Spiel mit nahezu offenener Spielewelt und interessanter Handlung. Das gibt es nicht allzu oft in dieser Preisklasse. Nach 2 Stunden Spielzeit war mir die Umgebung jedoch zu offen und dann hab' ich mich offensichtlich hoffnungslos in der Wildness verlaufen.Leider kann man auch immer nur den letzten Spielstand laden und die Karte im Spiel ist auch nicht wirklich hilfreich. Vielleicht versuche ich es nochmal irgendwann, aber versprechen kann ich es nicht.

Don't be put off by the lack of objective markers, and non-linear gameplay. If you give it a chance, the feeling of progression becomes a very rewarding experience.

A cool map, with immersive sound design. Some pretty interesting gameplay mechanics here and there too. I'd say it can be a little tedious at times, but the feeling you get from discovering new clues and areas make it worth it in my opinion.

I feel like people with either love or hate it, but it's a very unique game with lots of charm. Give it a go.

Shadows Peak is a monumental improvement from Vintsevych's previous game - Gynophobia. The most striking feature is its phenomenal atmosphere; dramatic, minacious and best described as an honouring of horror. There is a plenitude of disturbing events and imagery that constantly hold the player in a terrifying grasp. The second half undergoes a marked change in gameplay which spoils some of the experience but still retains a large portion of tension from the beginning.

Make Shadows Peak your next destination, you won't regret it.

Shadows Peak – это симулятор ходьбы с элементами хоррора. Вы играете за писателя Тома Блэра, который вместе со своей подругой отправился в загадочный городок Shadows Peak, чтобы собрать материал для своей новой книге о легендах. Вам предстоит бродить по острову и изучать найденные предметы. Мест не так уж и много, поэтому это будет несложно. В целом игра неплохая. Окружение проработано очень хорошо, а вот с анимацией явные проблемы. Хорошо детализированные ландшафты, сменяются угловатыми и неказистыми модельками людей. Сюжет в игре не блещет, но может вас заинтересовать и даже увлечь. Музыкальное сопровождение порадовало – некоторые звуки прям за душу берут; нагоняют атмосферу таинственности и одиночества. В настоящее время таких проектов много и жалко, что Shadows Peak не смог ничем выделиться среди собратьев. Советую приобретать исключительно по скидке, так как 259 рублей это завышенная цена для такого проекта. По крайней мере пару вечеров вам будет чем заняться…
Если хотите получить все достижения, то придется немного потрудиться. Играя в первый раз, хорошо изучите остров, можете даже нарисовать себе карту. Впоследствии вам это однозначно поможет! Особенно для достижения «Выживший» - пройти игру не умирая. Когда вы пройдете игру несколько раз, то благодаря карте сможете построить лучший маршрут и быстро пройти игру.
Имеется русский язык.
Присутствуют коллекционные карточки и достижения.
Оценка 7/10

The first part of this game is pretty good, with an interesting story, a creepy and beautiful world full of mystery and weird and fascinating abandoned places to explore. But then the second part is a badly made FPS with crap AI and just a bunch of "do this" quests while the character is so underpowered it's unbelievable how the developer decided this would make good gameplay. It's also so buggy and terrible that if you come up to a "boss" section it potentially breaks the game and you'll have to start from scratch, as what happened to me. I now will have to watch the ending on Youtube because I can't bring myself to play through the second part of this garbage again. DO NOT waste your money on this heap of trash.

I wasn´t sure whether to recommend or not to recommend this game. It is no terrible game, but it has a handfull of flaws. First of all, the story does not make sense to me, but maybe it is because I am not that much into Science-Fiction. What brings me to my second point: It starts very well as a bit creepy survival-horror but makes a sudden turn to some kind of scifi-horror-fps. Thats no bad thing, but if you like the first one more, you maybe end up dissapointed with the later chapter of the game/story. The graphics are not bad, the overall atmosphere and feeling of the environment are decent but not great. All in all I found the few hours the game lasts fun to play, and more than a few hours you absolutely will not spend on it - it is a very short game. I gave it a recommendation, because it deserves it more. But it is rather a 5/10.

This is fun to play with little scary jumps in places. The graphics bring an ominous atmosphere to the game. As the game progresses you start to wonder if you are the hunter, or are you the one being hunted. Felt a bit like the Decent movie in places. Was sorry when it was over.
