NOREN

SCAM ALERT. SCAM ALERT. SCAM ALERT. SCAM ALERT. SCAM ALERT. SCAM ALERT. As the store page states, NOREN is supposedly a 'simple' keyfinding game. That would be true if there were any keys actually in the game, but as it stands it seems that NOREN is a simple abandoned shovelware game that's impossible to progress in, let alone beat. You play as some soldier in a massive, dark castle, equipped only with a dying lantern. The light fades quickly, and you can regain light slowly by... standing by a light source. That'd be simple enough if you weren't endlessly pursued by dinosaurs that are programmed with AI which knows your exact location at all times; three chomps and you're 'aparted' from the world, where you respawn with whatever amount of light and sanity you have left. Additionally, the translation attempt is abysmal at best. Both NOREN and its developer, ThroneLab, should be banned from Steam. I do not blow the 'scam' whistle lightly, and I only do such when I am 100% certain of ...

This is not a game. This is nothing short of disappointing. There is minimal game play, absolutely no plot and it's badly translated.

It's an asset flip. I know that's a bit obvious, but just in case you were in doubt, there you go. Full of bugs, rushed, empty, poor sound/animation/ai/overall design quality, completely broken english, barely functioning UI, you get the picture, it's a cash grab.

Nope. Just Nope. Its irritating, weird (in a bad way) and just plain annoying. The only instruction you get is find keys for special doors. You die after two hits and after living again it seems that the game doesnt know due to the bars not refilling. the bars for sanity and light doesnt seem to mean anything. Just a big waste of time and money. It could have been something good but its just boring and stupid. Totally not recommendable
