The Flock

Meet the Flockers! Great name, an excellent name for a horror game! It's evocative, right? Birds are weird – carry diseases, vomit all over their babies, have cloacas, flock, etc. Oh, and religious heads often refer to their congregations as their “flock,” which is kind of creepy, cultish when you think about it. So the name works fabulously, we've established that. Concept is pretty cool too: twisted humanoids hunting one another, fighting one another with light in a twisted game of Red Light Green Light with a finite number of lives. Very novel! And the concept artwork? Beautiful, freaky, brilliant. Absolutely! “So why is The Flock a steaming pile of dog shit?” A hypothetical person might ask. Fortunately for you I spent $17 USD so I can find out and you don't have to! First off, it looks the part of steaming dog shit. Now that's a bit harsh of me; it doesn't look BAD, but it certainly won't be winning any monster beauty pageants. The models look goofy whether they'r...

This game is a horrible disaster. This plays like an early access title with bugs included. Coding isn't even completed in certain parts. But don't let this deter you, however! I look at it as an Easter egg: which string of code won't be found in this part of the game? Also, the "Population" aspect of this game is ridiculous. The limit will never hit 0, same as how updates will likely never occur. This game is horrendously overpriced for the current stage it's in. Edit: I have returned! For 20 minutes I sat in a queue, waiting to play. This game has died. Do not waste your money with this game.

I really loved the concept of the game, and felt like the price was right for a game plus a code. After roughly an hour of gameplay, it was evident the game isn't quite finished. Popping textures and muddy controls were not appropriate for a fast paced horror style game. I would love to see the concept grow, but for now, I cannot recommend this title.

it feels like the devs didn't even beta test this once. there are graphic glitches and you can't even turn on fullscreen mode there are so many "string not found" errors the devs need to make a clean sweep of this game's errors before it's even playable

Does not support multiple monitors. Edit: Clarification: Game cannot chose a dominant monitor, and will refuse to go to fullscreen in either of your screens; forcing you to play inside a window.

Update. The idea is dead. Some general statistics. Math may be off by a hair because I did not factor in release time vs what time I pulled the last numbers. 38 - Days since release. -- 215,358,979 - Population at release. -- 215,299,794 - Population on 9/28/2015 @ aprox. 2:00pm EST. -- 59,185 - Deaths since release. -- 1,557.5 - Daily deaths. -- 138,234.218 - Days until population reaches zero at current rate. (#'s include release rush so probably much longer.) -- 378.724 - YEARS until population reaches ZERO. HUMAN YEARS. -- I would be 410 years old when population reaches zero. Game uninstalled. **Original Review** The basic concept of this game is outstanding. Taking permadeath to a new level. Would I recommend this game? Unfortunately no. I've only played for a short while and I'll update this as I play more but as it stands there are only 3 levels and the gameplay is extremely repetitive. If this game had been under $10 I would whole heartedly recommend it. Having a buddy...

I'm sorry, I can't recommend this game it is flat out not scary, not fun I must say the maps are pretty sweet though but that's it I can only see this game being fun with 4 other friends and even then it's not going to take long till you get bored of it. This game needs different game modes because going back and forth getting the light is boring and repetitive. Sorry for the harsh review but I'm just being honest. Don't just take my word on it give it a watch. Thanks XD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSpNw3U3gsg

Holy shit, this game was a complete let down and a waste of money. All there is to the game is going around as a flock creature jumping at a little alien thing called the carrier who hurts your with light. No death animation. Just a screen flash. It's so damn repetitive and boring! It's so annoying that the game was hyped quite a fair bit and was such a let down. To be completely honest, i dont think the death count will ever reach 0. why? It's such a boring game, not enough people will give a damn to play it enough.

This game...is absolute trash. I have to lead with this statement because I cannot make that clear enough. At first, I absolutely loved the game, because the idea alone is fantastic! A game that has limited copies based on in game deaths? That's fantastic! So I rushed to buy it...but then I played it. The controls are bland, and in fact, there are things you can't even do with a keyboard that can only be done with your controler, if you have one hooked up. There are spots in the game where bright white flashes of light happen if you look at a corner, and these flashes are squares that sometimes turn green. A glitch, that's fine, right? Well that's not it. You're playing the creatures most of the time, but you can only jump, sprint, and use decoys. With there being only 3 maps, most of which need you to be up high to "get the drop" on your target, you can't readily jump up to the tops, you have to take a round about way up, which would be fine if the game wasn't painfully short. My firs...

This is a small multiplayer mini-game of tag that they've been working on since last winter, and yet it's STILL RIDDLED with bugs! I simply cannot recommend this, it's playable, but the amount of simple-to-fix bugs are just going to leave a sour taste in your mouth. Besides, the simplistic gameplay will get stale withing 4-5 rounds of playing it. This is yet another game that should have been a Garry's Mod module.
