As usual with Zed Technician's games, It's filled with likable characters, fun designs, and okay gameplay. I really like this game, It's got great charm, but I do have issues with it. Whether or not It's just how I feel, I'll let you be the judge. I don't really have anything to say other than that, It's just par for the course, but I'll explain more in the pros and cons.
Cons:
1 - It's not scary at all. It says Horror in the tags, but It doesn't feel like it. That's most of Zed's games though, sometimes you'll get something creepy, but not scary. It might be an intentional choice to do that, but I don't know.
2 - Gameplay is fine, it works, but it's nearly the exact same as the first game. It doesn't expand from the first game, It's just more of it. Which is not a bad thing, but when the first game's gameplay was already meh, and the sequel is the exact same thing with nothing to improve or spice it up, It can feel dull.
3 - It's surprisingly shorter than his other games, most of his games are between 10-20mins. I beat this in 6 on tough mode. This isn't really a gripe, more than it's just surprising. Now am I saying he needs to make longer games? No, but when the gameplay is so meh and the play time is so quick, It can feel even shorter.
ok here's the good stuff
Pros:
1 - Characters are great, they're fun, great designs, good dialogue. It's GOOD. I suppose MY only gripe with it is there's not enough. Now, I hate the "JUSt AdD moRE!" argument like everyone else, but dialogue Is so easy to put in any game, It's just text. This isn't a con for not enough dialogue, It's a pro for it being good and me wanting more.
2 - THE ATMOSPHERE MAN, I LOVE IT. The way it's set up, the colors, the textures, the models, the lighting, It's great! I don't know why, but there's something about the way these games look that just release every bit of dopamine in my brain. That might just be my opinion, but I'm putting it down as a pro, you can't stop me.
3 - It's $1. Someone out there is very confused right now. "Why are you putting down that paying money is a good thing?" It is literally a dollar, not only does it support the person making the game, It is so unbelievably cheap that anyone could buy it. If you have a problem with that, then you shouldn't be here.
4 - It has a fun connected story. Nearly all of these games are connected, It's not a forced thing, It's a fun thing that treats the people who play the games. For instance, J.P. Vermander shows up in this game delivering food to Mama Rabbit/Diane. To people who haven't played the past games, you wouldn't catch on that or get It.
Without this getting too long or going into every little detail, I'll stop here. In short, I like this game and I recommend it to you if your bored or want some quick fun. Don't go into this thinking It's jumpscare city with 5 hours of gameplay, It's just not that kinda game. But I really do recommend giving it a try, or at least some of his other work, and I look forward to his next projects.
