Chester: Into The Light

Main Review: In a time where every horror game is a rushed, incomplete money grab with 7 different parts to suck out every penny from player, this game is a gem. The game is complete, it tells an intriguing story, as well as a relatable one depending on the person, and I have not experienced a single bug. The game played smoothly, and to be honest really scared me at times. Each level is fresh with a different objective and feel, and game play stays super exciting throughout. On top of that, the achievements give a nice feeling of accomplishment (especially the secret one lol). Lastly, I just want to mention that this game is beautiful too. Not super important to everyone, but I personally appreciated it. Overall, loved the game, 10/10. Disclaimer: I do want to say that the third level is very hard. For those of you who can't seem to beat it, just know that I found a full proof strategy that works every single time to beat it. It takes a bit to figure out, but trust me, with a little ...

Aaaah, I have been waiting for this! Daniel George is a dear friend of mine, an independent horror games developer of the sunny California I first knew when I played the predecessor of this game, i.e., the first Chester game. As I moved my first steps into the first version of that little title (that, FYI, has been updated multiple times), I clearly felt that it had been assembled with limited resources and experience by a person that, although outstandingly talented and passionate... let's say did not completely know what he was doing at the time! But that inexperienced person grew very fast. He listened to feedback with a completely open mind, he learned, he took the brave life decision to fully concentrate on game developing, and now here he is, publishing the successor of Chester. What I am seeing now goes far beyond my initial expectations. Really, let's forget Daniel is a friend of mine and look at this game objectively. Chester: Into The Light is no common indie title, it can ea...

It's a good game and all that, I enjoyed it for the most part and the puzzles were "ok" I guess. Night 1's decent, everything's understandable and pretty simple to understand on what you're supposed to do, though for a first mission I feel that where I found the cheese was a bit of an awkward spot, as it was never really mentioned you could walk up areas like that prior. Night 2 was fun, though the drowning part seemed a bit "yikes" as there's no room for failure (despite it being a simple colour code puzzle). The game still managed to fail me despite me completing the puzzle, as the water fills the room quite quickly for the space in the room. Night 3 I actually despised, the concepts simple, burn the fuel in the fireplace, close the blinds on the other entity. Though seeing as you spend quite a lot of time doing both of those, you never really get much time to look for fuels in different areas, and by the time you find something you run out of time to get to the papers/wood in ...

Really great lil horror experience, reminded me a lot of among the sleep and a lil bit fnaf. The mechanics are very simple but the game is actually more challenging than I expected, which helps keep you on edge. Visually very impressive, runs very smoothly, and my playthrough was entirely bug free. For sure worth the price of admission! I'll probably go back through to finish off the hidden toys I missed, and I'll look forward to future projects from this dev.

Pretty underrated game. Has some RNG nonsense and brightness could be improved,but good quality all the same.

Finally got round to live streaming! I had a lot of fun with this one. It has unique moments. Certain parts of each dream had it's own difficulty. My favourite was Grandma's House & last part of St Anthony's even though both took me goodness how many attempts. I am glad to see Into the darkness! I'll be keeping an eye on that one too. You have my full support! Here is my playthrough https://youtube.com/live/W3s57n_Qafk

I just completed this game, took me over 8 hours. But all I can say is its worth it!

I have to start with stating, "Not my kind of game" Try it yourself and see if you like it. The Good: -Pretty game Graphically -Great audio quality -Good story The Bad: -*Monotonous* -Repetitive -Keybindings are not my style -Disdain motion blur (I understand why the Dev kept it as it contributes to the atmosphere) -Audio cues and quick time events can be a little much (repetitive) I would consider it a game that is tedious. Time limited puzzles with a tight window to complete the challenge, (memorize the timings and paths) do it over and over until you complete. I would say if you like to practice speed running, finding the most efficient route, this game is for you, never stop running, no need for walking! I made it to level 3 part 2, and saw what it would take to memorize the pattern for completion of that part of the game. Looked like it would take about an hour to prefect the run. Decided not to proceed with the game, and went for the refund. Not my kind of game, but don't let...

10/10 loved the story so much! cannot wait for the next one!

this is amazing its very different though but in a good way its actually kinda hard to lol here go some gameplay https://youtu.be/3YqgVHc2l98
