Nightfall: Escape

Dang. I was actually fairly excited for this one, to the point where I nearly bought it full price while it was still in Early Access. Thank the Gods I didn't, as it's barely worth HALF price upon full release. Why did I bother gettin' so excited, you ask? Well, 'cause...y'know...screenshots 'n' stuff. Sigh. When will I learn? My first question to all the non-English speaking indie devs of the world (and a good number of English-speaking ones, for that matter): do none of you live in cities with universities? And do these universities not have Drama courses? Because I can tell you right now, if a brave Brisbane dev was currently looking for perfectly talented people to do some voice acting FOR FREE, they'd have about five hundred eager young (and sometimes not so young) people to choose from. Why do these devs always seem to insist upon them and their mates voicing their games, especially when none of them seem to speak English even semi-fluently? Even if there's no one in thei...

I had some....... fun? I was quite excited to learn that the creators/developers are pinoy. With the sudden increase in horror games with similar mechanics (flashlights, no combat, run and hide) I can say that this was nothing new. Although it is good, it's still far from the standards today. [h1] honest opinion/review [/h1] To be honest, i felt like i was playing a PS1 game. The voice acting is poor. The map/level design is average. For a game with low quality textures it loads too slow. (I can load other games faster than this) It has good framerate though. It executes it's events very smoothly. [b] This is not for the gamers who want High quality graphics and gameplay. [/b] It's for those players who want something to play. (If you get me) overall 7/10 again, i dont recommend it to some gamers who want HQ games. i recommend it to casual gamers. this wasn't meant to degrade the game @developers. keep up the good work.

This involves many puzzle solving and exploring, unlike many other horror games nowadays which rely a lot action or jumpscare. This is more like old school style survival horror without super complicated puzzle.

stay away from this game. i have an i75820k, 32 gigs of ddr4 and a gtx 1080, all hardware thats pretty new and compatiblle with everything. I rarely have issues that cant be fixed... This game though..is broken. FIrst I couldnt get it to launch even after doing everything the dev said and some other stuff. The games icon would pop up then close. I bought the DLC at the same time like a fool because it has VR mode. That wouldnt launch either until today but it took some trickery to actually launch it. Once I got in the main menu was all messed up and made no sense. Nothing seemed to work. I clicked settings and i got a bunch of blurry boxes...uhm ok. Finally i managed to stumble into the actual game and just the first few min was enough to know its a subpar game. Visually boring with mediocore audio all around and the gameplay was tedious and just bad This is a genre I LOVE. I will put up with alot of issues for a game in the genre but this game is just busted, You might ...

great ambiance little rough looking but looks like its going to be a great game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89thYOgDAoU

https://youtu.be/HUhmdNI8dac While it is great to see an indy horror that is not a unity asset flip, its very hard to recommend this game. Even if we ignore the ugly graphics that look like a PS2 era game. The big problems are all game design related. From terrible performance issues, to bugs and glitches. Several of the puzzles are bugged leading to frustration. And the save system is a pain, meaning you end up retreading large sections of the game you have already completed. The controls feel floaty and imprecise making boss battles a chore. And even the AI can end up killing you even when they really should not be able to. Still on the positive side, the hand drawn cutscenes are well done, the audio is decent and the voice acting okay. Also the monster designs are nice, and the death scenes very well done. Sadly it's not enough to really salvage this game overall. Maybe if you see it on sale and want to know more about the phillipnes ghost lore. Otherwise you may want to ...

Very harsh game! Its very hard to progress continuously on it, there’s no auto save which consequently makes you lose progress a lot of times on certain levels. You have to strugle to keep going with the game till the very end, its quite challenging to say the least. Despite of that, Visuals are very neat, lots of characters very well designed, with pretty decent cut scenes. I love the extras of the game, there’s a gallery where you can pay attention to the details of the monsters more closely, its a nice detail to have in such a game.

Boy, I remember buying this and really, really, really wanting to like it when I tried to play through it. I was fairly fresh off the first Dreadout (which I enjoyed) and was hoping for more of the same in a first person perspective when I grabbed this up. The lore is strong with Nightfall: Escape and the explanation of the stories behind each demon that you encounter are well-done for certain, conjuring up atmosphere and really getting you into the vibe of this mystery set in the Philippines. There's even a lot of work put into the cartoonish, slideshow style cut scenes that felt like some sort of Max Payne nicked living comicbook aesthetic but man...this game is a broken mess with an initial set-up so bad that it kicks you right out of the atmosphere. You play as jouranlist Ara Cruz who is hellbent on getting the dirt about this begotten mansion of legend where some horrific insanity went down in the late 1800s. Being driven by yourself useless sidekick JoJo down a wooded ro...

Well, this could've been a good game if it weren't for a bug making it impossible for me to complete like the last 10% of the game. I placed an object at a certain place (not going to spoil anything here), but the game still behaved as if I needed to place something there. So, object gone, game incompletable, five hours of my life wasted. The game also has a really annoying portal labyrinth which can take you quite some time if you're as unlucky as me. Furthermore, I had to play this on my Windows box as the Linux version would freeze when loading the first level. Posted at the board about this, no answer. So you get a severly broken game with no bug fixes in sight. This means? Right, 0/10 points. Don't get this.

Lame, nothing else to be said.
