Slightly less scary to me but more immersive and with a better story and better atmosphere. I'd rank it above Detention, but I loved both. It's not (for the most part) a game that tries to make you piss your pants in fear or anything.
Damn it, lol. I was excited until I saw this. I should really get a gaming PC.
Make friends with someone who has one and break into their house to play it. Nah but seriously the game seems to fit well within base PS4/XBO specs and I would be very surprised if it doesn't get a console release on all three major systems, especially after they cleaned up on Switch with Detention.
Detention was ported to consoles through the help of their Chinese mainland publisher, but they don't have that luxury any more due to recent events, the publisher has since severed ties with them completely.
As someone who doesn't have a PC powerful enough to play this, that's... really not what I wanted to hear. Hopefully some other publisher will happily take their place and port the game to other systems.
I mean come on, you can't ignore that P.T. crowd. They'll lap this up.
It's somewhat longer than Edith Finch, Gone Home, Dear Esther, and other similar games. Just kind of comes with the territory of the genre.
Doesn't it qualify as more of an adventure game since there are bonafide puzzles?
I don't play horror games where I have to run away from monsters, even less when you have to hide. It's why I never finished Observer despite loving the style and why I played Soma only when the safe mod came out purely for the atmosphere and experience.. Is this anything like that?
The last part of the game does have some puzzles that helped with the pacing, but I would still label it as a walking simulator. Not that there is anything wrong with them, I'm just not a fan of them.
I played about half of it so far I think, it's kinda neat but not great so far. The atmosphere is cool and it feels like an expansion of the PT formula but instead of super cryptic nonsense puzzles there are super obvious puzzles. The scares are mostly pretty cliche and not entirely effective, but there have been a couple good ones. Some of the storytelling is neat but again the story isn't that great thus far, it has that issue a lot of metaphorical horror stories have were everything has to be laden with super obvious symbolism and hamfisted techniques. The walking speed is wayyyy too slow as well. It's worth a look if you're really into these sort of games, but I think it's more of a curiosity for me so far but maybe it gets a lot better.
Yup.I just checked my game on Switch and it was published by a Shang Hai based publisher called Cocounut Island. Their website doesn't list Detention anymore, although I'm not sure if it was recently removed or was never listed before.
Nowhere. It was yanked off of Steam in all countries. Until/if it comes back, we're SOL.
This sounds very promising. Already have it on my Steam wishlist.
"It has been removed"
Ok now I really want it.

I mean their publisher pulled out so it's not like they had a choice on the matter.
Well I guess that's who Im referring to. The people that stand to make the most money off the product whose decision it is to make.
It's not exactly something you'd as a publisher want especially being based in China itself. They've received a huge backlash from nationalists that could put them under.
Hoping we a release on consoles and it looks great.
I never finished Detention, but I dug what I played of it.

for what it's worth, the Netease reviewer gave it 8/10 before all the controversy. the review has of course been taken down
