It's rare to find a horror game that has no blood & violence but the prob with this game is that I don't like it. (I'm going to post my thoughts on why I don't like it). Cons: 1. It does a terrible job at making you nervous since the game's antagonist moves way too slow & does a lame life sapping technique if you look at him (Doesn't that sound familiar?) 2. Your main character moves slow and your always tapping Shift all the time just trying to run (The running in that game feels like fast walking) 3. The lack of names on the graves makes it annoying & time wasting 4. The lack of exploration sucks too because the orphanage is too small in my opinion which has a short basement, 2 short floors & that annoying hedge maze which takes forever to figure out 5. Finding Treasure and setting them on a certain grave kinda reminds me of a matching game except a more boring version of it Pros: 1. Really good voice acting on each of the characters 2. The story is decent Overall I person...

Huntsman: The Orphanage is one of those very rare games that has an interesting idea for a game, and it works pretty well. It is one of those games that whilst you can watch people play it, the only way to really get the full experience of the game is to play it yourself. I also like how they take the sound of a ticking clock and make it something that you will learn to fear. I have lost count the amount of times I thought I heard it in game and breathed a sigh of relief when I realised it was the clock on my wall that I heard, Which to me shows how atmospheric the game is if they can make me get scared by my own clock. The stories that each of the characters have to tell also add to the games atmosphere. I honestly believe that these stories wouldn't look out of place in a movie as it is just so well told by each of the people that they got to play the characters in the game. And they have gotten a Ripley's Believe It or Not master to create the maze that the Huntsman calls home. A...

You'll need a pencil and paper to take notes, and use graph paper to get through this one! Seriously! You need to map out a huge hedge maze that you have to find your way through 12 times to find 12 different graves, so be prepared! You have to carry items to graves in the maze and can only carry "one" item at a time! Then you have to go back to the house and get another item, go through the maze again, find a different grave, rinse and repeat! It's so lame!!! Keep in mind, each item goes on a different grave and you have to find the right grave for each item. It wouldn't be so bad if you could carry all the items at the same time, but having to go back to get each item, then transverse the maze again is torture!!! Even if you brought all the items to the entrance of the maze, it's going to be a long haul!!! There was one cool part in the game that was freaking creepy! I had an encounter with the Huntsman, but I won't spoil it for you because it was so creepy and really co...

I'll just say this out front: This isn't a perfect game. I do feel that there are some things that were done right and some things that could use some improvement, but I'm also confident that any perceived negatives will be addresed by Shadowshifters. The game does a good job of setting up a creepy environment with a creepy backstory. If exploring an old, abandoned orphanage marred by an unexplained, supernatural tragedy doesn't give you a few chills, then you might want to check your pulse and make sure it's still there. The Huntsman himself is a creepy character too, although maybe based a tad too much on common creepypasta tropes in his appearance, but I'm largely quibbling on that one and have probably read too many creepypastas myself. The cellphone flashlight and screen are a nifty addition that makes you wonder why it hasn't been incorporated before in games like this. The flashlight mechanic is obvious, but the use of the screen is a very nice idea that can really enhance the ...

One of the most original survival horror games I have played in a while. Worth every penny. Any friends who love survival horror, this is the kind of game we need to be supporting.

I bought this for 2.99 on sale. If you get it for free, good for you, if not, don't bother paying for it. I like the story idea of the orphanage and hunting down the parts for the kids but that's about where it ends. The game play is glitchy, you have to figure out how the keyboard is configured (fairly easy) and no options. Given time in delevopment, this game could have been a really good horror game. I'm sorry to give this game a thumbs down.

Ugh, if I would've known it was a simple item finding game with a lot of boring details and story I wouldn't of purchased. The trailer seemed so cool I didn't want to watch videos in case of spoilers. Well, nothing to spoil, since the trailer is arguably the best part about the game.

Not a good game. At all every aspect of it falls flat, graphics, sound, pacing, design. Just a bad game, pick up outlast and/or amnesia (even a machine for pigs) far superior games. Here, I'll slap my first reply up here to help quanitfiy how bad this game is: The graphic design is bad. I don't know how much further you want me to qualfy that for an indie game that wouldn't bother me so much if it weren't also for how poorly animated everything is. The sound was recorded poorly, and is balanced horribly speach that pops up is at whispered levels while a slight wind buffetting a house sounds like a hurricane. The game goes long stretches of nothing only to show you a monster who stands stock still and talks (whispers) at you for a minute or two before vanishing. It is a terrible game. I don't care if you trust me (and why would you fully trust anyone reviewing a game, everyone is biased in some way you dolt) Go ahead and buy it though. Apparently some people enjoy quick cash in "ho...

Very interesting idea and the designer (an indy group) is very accurate with their "more story than gory" description of this game. Zip - zero - nada blood & guts style "horror". There is no violence in it but there is tense suspense as the huntsman wanders around, you can hear him. It is the story of an abandoned orphanage that became so due to the disappearance of many children over a hundred years ago. You are a paranormal type investigator checking out the stories in the place as wander through the abandoned building and the grounds - which include a maze where the empty graves of the missing orphans are set. Going through it, I found more than 2 hours of voice acting and the stories of the 17 characters (12 children and the 5 staff who worked in the place) and all the stories are interesting in their own way. Lots of listening in this to learn the details of the stores as you hunt around for the pieces to free the trapped orphan souls.

after what seemed like a good start out, i quickly grew bored of all the scares in the game, pretty much laughed my ass off. The graphics are good however for a game such as this, however if you want a good horror game, look elsewhere this one will pretty much put you to sleep, thats how boring it was. i give it a 3 out of 10 for the graphics and zero replayibility.
