AVOID THE FIXED CAMERA MODE

I know about 90% of the people who play this game will play it in either Over the Shoulder or First Person, but for those like me who prefer the fixed camera perspective, just don't do it. The game is ridiculously hard and unbalanced around it. I'm a veteran of old school survival horror and I can usually do pretty well in them, but this game was just unbearable as the amount of zombies they put you up against, with how slow the movement is (I used tank controls), the extremely scarce ammo, how easy it is for the character to miss despite the game having a lock on, the randomness of enemies charging you and how slow the fire rate and recover on shooting the guns is makes the difficulty just feel punishing, unsatisfying and frustrating. In Resident Evil and Silent Hill they knew when to give you ammo, when to put enemies and where to put them to give you a challenging but manageable fight.

But once you switch the game over to Over the Shoulder, oh man does the game get way better. Those zombies that took 7 bullets (If you didn't miss) to kill now can be killed in 1-4 bullets, if you aim for the head, which is easy because the zombies are slow. Oh and the knife in this perspective is so much better as you can walk backwards while attacking in the same time. In the fixed perspective you had to stand completely still which left you vulnerable. In this mode you'll actually have a huge abundance of ammo, so there isn't much reason to be overly conservative.

As for the rest of the game, well, the puzzles can be frustrating as they'll be pretty obscure to figure out and solving them is unsatisfying, but I suppose for the most part they're okay. The level design is pretty great, I loved the mansion and the way you backtrack through the key items will make any old school RE fan happy. As for the courtyard, it's well designed, but I find it weird that they chose to have this be where you spend half the game since it's not very spooky to me. The graphics are what you expect from an indie game so they're okay, but I do feel like they don't do a very good job in making the game feel horrorish or atmospheric. There is a lot of jankyness and other things that make the game feel like an indie game, but I don't think that should be held against them.

Overall the game is good, I'm glad I didn't quit the game as I was originally going to due to the poorly designed fixed camera mode. I'm hoping these devs have learned a lot from making this game and will go on to make something even better!

I'm not good at writing reviews but I need to leave one for this game. This is one of the best not only Survival Horror games but just one of the best games ever made. I can't express enough how much the game impressed and how much I love it. It does have some very minor problems that you would expect from a small indie team, but they're so insignificant that it doesn't ruin the experience. I recommend everyone to get this game!!

I wanted to love this game, Survival Horror is what I grew up with and I've spent countless hours in them. Unfortunately this game suffers from probably the worst controls I've ever seen in a survival horror game. And I'm someone who loves tank controls, but I don't know what they were thinking with this aiming system, it makes the game almost unplayable. Not only is it bad that you have to manually aim on a Y and X axis with a little icon at the corner of the screen, but the enemies move fast, not giving you time to aim. I heard the easy difficulty has auto-aim, but I don't want to play an easier version of the game just to have a control scheme that should have been in the game to begin with. Despite this I still tried to continue with the game only to have the game bug out twice and completely stop my controller from working. First time it happened to a regular enemy, second time was during a boss fight. The bug seems to happen when I get attacked, so after taking a hit I have no choice but to watch my character stand still as she is murdered (This bug also prevented keyboard and mouse from working) and I have to alt+F4 just to get the controller to work again. Despite these 2 major issues the game is beautiful, the map is fun to explore and to solve puzzles in, atmosphere is unique and gripping, music is fitting, and the story is enough to keep you interested. But gameplay to me is always the most important and because of this I rather just watch someone else play this game than to play it myself.

With that said these developers do have potential and I really hope if they make another survival horror game that they learn from their mistakes with this game and make something really great.

I need to call my Sister.

Please allow the ability to add bots to online multiplayer session.

The best part of this game is getting constantly invaded in the same level by the same person using an Ice Rapier who kills you in 1 hit and runs away and hides whenever you have a phantom with you.
