Great anomaly game. Good balance of jump scares, chase scenes and a very large amount of "spot the difference" challenges. Anyone complaining about difficulty either does not have eyes or the ability to think critically about where they haven't yet looked in each run. The anomalies are subtle, but not impossible. I had a great time with game and finished it with 100% completion for the true ending.
A great addition to the anomaly hunting genre. Had some great jump scares. Some anomalies were really tough to spot, especially on nightmare mode. Highly enjoyed!
Great game! I bought the full game after playing the demo. If you don't speedrun the game then the "normal" mode will give you at least 2 hours worth of gameplay. There is a "nightmare" mode that adds even more anomalies. Interesting story, detailed visuals, great sound design, and some good jump scares all for the price of a cheap coffee.
A really cool PT style horror game. My only criticism would be that it felt a little too much like a haunted house in an amusement park and didn't really unnerve me as much as the game was probably hoping for.
game is so easy. similar gameplay to exit 8 but i did not enjoy playing the game rating: 1/10
This is good game broh
This is a beautifully designed and unique horror anomaly video game. The music and colour palette create a truly sombre feeling to the gaming environment. This feels very cinematic. The emphases of this game are the story and horror aspects. I have played a wide variety of anomaly video games at this point and I have found that many rely on humour and quirkiness and Ten Bells breaks form and the result is tremendous. The story draws you in, the jump-scares are well thought out and placed. This becomes less of an anomaly game after a while and more of a detective ghost story with you wanting to find all the clues to what happened and to set the haunting ghost free. This is dark, emotive and encourages you to keep playing. This also reminded me heavily of Layers of Fear. The game also offers a normal mode which is more focused on the basic story and horror and a nightmare mode which is more of a challenging anomaly game with the true ending. Highly recommend for both horror and anomaly ...
A very strong a fun experience, tainted a bit by the difficulty level and the knock-on effects of that. This is an anomaly-spotting game - a very compelling concept but not exactly original in that sense, and sticking strongly to the formula of existing games like Exit 8: turn back if you spot an anomaly, keep going if you don't. However compared to other games in this genre this one somewhat ironically sets itself apart by bringing in more traditional horror settings rather than going for the more modern surreal liminal space vibe - this game sets itself in a very classic haunted british pub beset by classical ghosts and other spooky activities. A real solid point in this game's favour is that rather than the anomalies being a non-cohesive set of weird events, each one ties strongly into the setting's story and directly adds to the worldbuilding of the scenario. The big point against this game's favour is that the base game is far too easy. About half of the game's anomalies are u...
