HORROR OF THE DEEP

This game should be $2. It is unbalanced and broken. As much as I geniunely love a good jumpscare, the ones in this game are just spookyman.jpg and loudsound.wav. You're almost immediately thrown into a frustrating maze with TONS of crawling and patrolling AI that you can't even see as there are no light sources and there are random holes in the floor that you can't see that kill you as well. At no time was I remotely frightened, just frustrated and annoyed. Story is basically non-existant with a few notes scattered throughout. I've played A LOT of poor horror games and even tend to enjoy them, so none of this would bug me as much if the game worked properly. I get stuck on seemingly nothing and have to jump to set myself free, you evetually get a latern that does NOTHING and doesn't allow you to see, buttons randomly don't work, and the framerate is horrendous at times even on my Xbox One X. I woul avoid this title. I just have it to 100% every horror game. (Personal goal of mine.)2/5

The developers of this game were generous enough to put about 10 frames (per second) into this creation, which lends itself well to low hanging fruit in the form of jokes when streaming this. When you're not busy fighting the screen tearing and visual kaleidoscope that is the fear "mechanic" of this game, it really begins to have a unique personality of its own. I myself found entertainment through hopping around the poorly lit coridors of each map like the Easter Bunny himself, dodging the unfairly placed noise machines that the game calls "enemies". I can say the best part about this game is how bad it is, from janky world physics to a non-existent story stretched over 7 (or 8 idk) levels, it really was a nice game to drink to. Fuctionally, the game has you hunt down 3 keys per level to progress, but you can skip the keys usually. Fun fact: The game has two option menus, Audio and In-game sensitivity so have fun not knowing the controls and having no way to adjust the brightness.

I beat the game in an hour with no guide or help. The game has next to no story & awful level design. I beat 4 of the levels just by jumping across a gap the developers didn't think a player would attempt. For achievement hunters; easy buy, quick 1000g. I would not recommend this game to the average player.

The scary part is, they expect $10 for this game. You cant adjust the brightness. This gets to be a issue in chapter 3, where you die alot out of nowhere. No maps either. I dont mind a challange, but this game is in no way worth the asking price. Even at $5 its still not worth it. Might be a easy 1000, if you can put up with the cheap deaths and other technical issues. Oh, and RB for running and Y for jump. They were too lazy to mention that.

Just...no.
