Madison Review (ebryetas)
I wont lie I have ultimately mixed experiences... I had fun but It was NOWHERE near as scary as everyone makes it seem
Honestly I seem to be in the minority on this but the sound design in this game was part of the problem, at no point the first 85% of the game did I feel unsafe wandering about the house, but by god was there a random creak or groan every 5 seconds, like to the point of being genuinely ridiculous (and once you notice it you cant stop noticing it)
Also the game relied HEAVILY on jump-scares, with good tension building sections sprinkled in between, but every time there was a jump-scare the music would get real heavy and weird and crescendo for like 15 straight seconds which... was unnecessary and another example of the weird sound decisions
It's linearity was nice and I'm sure people who hated the obscurity of a game like Visage will enjoy this more. The puzzles were more creative and challenging then I was expecting, but nothing insanely hard to figure out with enough time.
The final boss itself was... weird. Like playing a weird song (gave Tiny Tim vibes) 15 times got a bit old, especially with an enemy that could insta-kill you while youre interacting with quest objects.
Overall good game, with nice voice acting and a plot that mostly makes sense (still not sure where the nazicomes into playi) but not at all scary like I hoped it would be
(Personally I found Visage far scarier)
