Hunting is a masterclass in 'less is more.' It lures you in with the promise of a boring simulator and traps you in a psychological cage. The PSX aesthetic isn't just nostalgia bait; it adds a grittiness that makes the forest feel hostile. While short, the pacing is perfect. It ends exactly when it needs to, leaving you unsettled rather than frustrated.
MindDecay is a surprisingly effective slice of PS1 horror. While it wears its anti-drug message a bit loudly, the atmosphere is genuinely unsettling. The dev, PerfectGame123, understands that low-fidelity graphics can be scarier than 4K realism. The 'uncanny valley' animations work in its favor, making every NPC interaction feel wrong. It's short, weird, and free—definitely worth the download for a quick spook, though the controls can be a bit 'floaty' during the platforming sections.
If I had to critique one thing, I'd love for the customer interactions to have a bit more consequence if you mess up the order, but for a demo, the vibes are immaculate. Definitely keeping an eye out for the full release.
