The intricate dance between reality and illusion, mediated through the use of the player’s camera, is a commendable gameplay element. It not only serves as a flashlight, illuminating the darkened, ghostly corridors of the haunted house but also as a bridge between two terrifying realms.
However, my immersive experience was slightly marred by minor bugs. There were moments of unintended character movements and occasional glitches.
Yet, the allure of the game lies in the player's frantic search for the four keys, each discovery heightening the pulse and precipitating a looming sense of doom. The final key, concealed in the basement’s safe, offers a climactic confrontation between the impending terror and the desperate hope of escape.
In conclusion, "Contrast of the Past: The Game (DEMO)" is a promising preview, offering a taste of an exquisite horror experience.
