Not worth it. I picked this up at 49 cents (90% off) and I still feel
overcharged.
Basically it's the standard steam indie horror experience. Wander around, pick
up keys and items, find things to use them on, proceed through environment,
avoid big creepy monster.
But this is very the many flaws start to set in.
For starters, you have a very unforgiving stamina meter. This combined with fact
that Candlehead is faster than you means that whenever you get spotted, unless
you're close to a map edge, you will be caught. Thankfully it's pretty
forgiving, you're just transported back to the start of the main town whenever
you die, but you still have all your items.
The next big sin is the fact it just isn't scary. It's a combination of lack of
atmosphere, and the fact that the monster is frankly, pretty silly.
And combined with that you've got a sprawling main area that is hard to
navigate, made worse by the fact you move so slow and can only sprint for about
3 seconds in a row. Navigating around is mostly obvious, but if you miss
something there is no direction to guide you. I had to look up a guide as I
couldn't figure out what the ladder was for. And it was again, a very easily
missed thing in a big sprawling environment.
Overall, just avoid, there are better horror games out there.
