Elegant Shout rated There's More to This House...

Elegant Shout rated a exploration 4 years ago
A downloadable exploration.

I bought it, I had high hopes and I feel a bit disappointed :(
I was getting strong Silent Hill: The Room vibes from the premise. It was working, however, many times the game fell short.
Maybe I was interpreting the rules wrong but having multiple cards come up suggesting that something is in the middle of the room I was in broke the coherence of the game. I had the same feeling towards supplies. There were no explicit rules how to track it, therefore, when I encountered something that would boost my supplies I... I couldn't do anything but shrug. The game felt pointless after a while. I added my own meaning to it, like you are supposed to with these types of games, and while half the time it worked nicely, half the time I ended up ignoring the "rules".
It is still a good take on the wretched formula, so thank you for the game, I did not regret buying it but I wish it was more fleshed out.
