It's Chop-tastic!
This brought me back to an era when boogeymen characters like Jason Vorhees, Michael Myers and Freddie Kruger were shredding it on the big screen - Night Maniac has all the aesthetic of those bygone days in the 80's, when video nasties were shared secretly by school kids.I had a lot of fun playing this one - But Jonathan why didn't you just call the cops when you found the piece of the map with the warehouse!?!
Although there's not really any head scratching puzzles (you need to find the digit code to the safe in Jonathan's house, but that's about it) the vibe is mainly action and the 'empty trash, clean the floors' that are seen in a lot of indie horrors. My only real criticism is the length of time between the shop customers coming into the butcher's shop at the beginning - felt like that there was a lot of waiting around.
But I came across this as I saw the newly released sequel: Night Maniac 2: Legacy of Blood - will be uploading that bad boi tomorrow!
Great game - hope to see more in the future!
