This game stinks to high heavens, I gave it an hour to do anything, and it's
literally just wasting your time. There's nothing interesting or scary, it's not
creating an atmosphere, it's just wasting your time. You have to walk to work
for a long time, you have stock shelves for a long time, you have to walk back
home, you have to do all of this twice, and what does it lead to? Nothing.
Nothing happens. It could just start with the delivery job that they make you do
for the next eternity. I can't tell you what happens beyond that. If I
absolutely have to say something positive, it's that it looks kinda nice. The
headbob can be kinda obnoxious, but I was fine with it. All the assets look neat
and cohesive. With all this, it doesn't achieve any atmosphere or anything. The
soundscape is lacking, it's playing the same spooky ambient over nothing
happening from the very beginning, so at no point do I feel that there's
actually anything threatening going on. It managed to jump me a couple of times
with cheap fakeout jumpscares.
This feels like a PS1 style indie horror version of those Asylum films, that try
to cash in on a more popular product by tricking people into buying it. In this
case Stay Out Of The House, which is a fantastic PS1 style indie horror.
I was expecting a game about a scary murdering farmer, but I got an avant garde
experiment in testing the limits of my patience. I lost.
