Gate to Site 8

Decent, short adventure walking sim with some small horror elements. Playtime: 30-60 minutes for one playthrough. Downsides: graphics aren't great, as well as the performance at it has a quite unnecessary plot twist at the end.

Nice short little mystery walking sim with a hint of hidden object. Relaxing soundtrack. Can play it in 30 minutes if you rush through, but if you want to get all the hidden items/achievements it takes about an hour. There's a good walkthrough available too if you get stuck. Sad story. Trigger warning: [spoiler] the dog dies, and there's attempted suicide[/spoiler]

Sneaking through the gates of Site 8, you are confronted with your past in a game that forces you to confront memories surrounding your family and the events that unfolded at this, otherwise, beautiful location. The game dev has created a truly atmospheric world. The first person vantage, along with sights and sounds, really make you feel that you are in this environment. From lush flower meadows to abandoned cabins, the game is full of places to explore and items to find. As you relive memories and remember the past you are confronted with horrors, both familial and otherworldly. On more than one occasion, I felt a shiver run down my spine. These moments offer a welcome tinge of horror. So much so, that I would love to see this dev create a full on horror adventure in the same vein. The use of sound and sound effects in these moments (and across the game) is very impressive and adds so much to the atmosphere. Plus, if you enjoy fun achievements (as I do) then you will find items to...

Terribly boring. It's a "find the item" walking sim with some extremely quiet audio. Is it psychological horror? Maybe in the way it torments you into trying to find everything without losing your sanity as you wait for the point. DNR

Sometimes these walking sims are great, other times they are like this - not so great. I have to say, that i was entertained, and I was completely prepared for it being super linear. Anyways, the game is alright, it keeps getting more and more strange, and omnious. But what the Devs then does with that build up? yeah, NO! That is about as lame a cop-out as "oh it was all a dream". As an author, let me tell you - that right there ladies and gents, is lazy writing, they wrote themselves into a corner and couldn't figure out how to end it - and so why not use a safe trope? - they won't notice we aren't all that original. I notice. And that right there is not good enough! You gotta see your project to the end, or you gotta go back and edit something so the end doesn't come off as this disjointed and anticlimactic. I feel like I was left with the bill on a less than mediocre date. Come now, you can do better!

Good little walking simulator. Takes about 45 minutes to complete fully. The tale is well told and there's some light horror throughout. You do visit essentially the same cabin half a dozen times over with just the contents of the house changing. And in between each cabin you're just running through the woods by and large. I feel they could have condensed it into less houses. But that's me nitpicking. Definitely recommended on sale. Also, the piano theme song is absolutely fantastic.

A wonderful experience driven by the story. It was a relatively quick game, but I would definitely be interested in more games like this.

Short, extremely linear Story with generic environment including a few houses that have identical layout and furnishing. Game does not provide saving system, which is more than odd, and there are couple of unnecessary jumpscares. Voice acting is okay, but the volume of the dubbing is way too low. I don't recommend this at all.

I really like this game. I had played Faded Grey so I was looking forward to this release. It isn't much game play since it's just a walking simulator but I really enjoyed the story. It also had a few spooky parts that were well done which was a surprise. Overall for the price this is for sure a game to check out.
