Lumber Island - That Special Place

Positive aspects: It is a well-made, beautifully little Indie horror game. It offers a great and diversified level design with an astonishing attention to detail. Furthermore: Creepy atmosphere with solid jumpscares and a “twisted” plot. Please be aware of: It’s very dark, no checkpoint system within a level, sometimes it is difficult to figure out your next objective and be prepared for playing hide and seek with Mr. Lumberjack with deadly outcome. ;-) So please don’t get me wrong; it’s a clear recommendation for all horror adventure fans!

The game is dark and has a nice spooky atmosphere, however there was very little in the way of content to actually frighten players and frankly the story sucked. I completed the game in 3 hours. I felt the story made little sense and most of the written clues were in broken English. The apartment with the naked girl in the shower that does not acknowledge your presence was bizarre. If the two story lines were to represent a dream and cloudy reality, the creators of the game did a poor job. I really do not know what to make of it all. A couple of bugs I experienced: The game crashed when I clicked on the control menu. While running from the woodsman at the beginning of the game, I fell off the island next to my boat.

So I got this game recommended for Halloween and while the atmosphere in the game is super eerie and creepy, the puzzles and bugs of the game just ruined the experience for me. I were multiple times able to run through objects and wall, and fall out of the map as well as the physics object were super weird. While some puzzles were really interesting and well thought out the majority of them were really hard to figure out and I ended around just clicking everything hoping to find something as there were not really much to go on from other than a few sound or visual clues on some of the puzzles, but those who did have the clues were really nice and seemed to be well thought-out. The game does also have a save decent function, and instead of restarting the game from the beginning it only takes you to the beginning of the level. The last level were pretty punishing as you needed to do certain things in a specific order or you'll get kill and restart the level from the beginning! The bac...

Well,that didn't take long.Fantastic boot hunt simulator.If ya die ya start all over.I didn't like it.Nice atmosphere though.Can't recommend.

fix this cursor bug on the main title screen!!!

I wish I could recommend this game + Graphics, story (even though overly vague), and horror atmosphere are really nice. Unfortunatelly the gameplay and mechanics are very flawed to be an enjoyable game to play: - - puzzles hardly make any sense - - sometimes you die out of nowhere - - unskippable, slow, unnecessary and somewhat long cutscenes - - worst of all: there's no save so whenever you die you need to play the level ALL OVER from scratch The team has potential. I hope they learn from these details and achieve their true potential the following games.

Apart from some trifling issues such as the odd crash, some dodgily translated documents, a rather difficult first level (at least until you suss what you're supposed to do), and a severe lack of save points, this is actually one of the better "budget" horror games you'll play this - or just about any - year. It looks amazing, is highly immersive and atmospheric, and has a genuinely intriguing plot...but again, ONLY if you show a bit of patience in the first area, which I'll confess I nearly gave up on (hint: it's not that hard, once you observe the A.I. for a while and play it super-safe). A minor gem lying in wait for those willing to persevere. Verdict: 8/10.

This game is amazing! 10/10

To keep this short and sweet, it's very well presented, good graphics, good sound, and music. Gameplay is lackluster and repetitive. The story I can't comment on because I gave up on trying to find the second boot lol. Give it a watch if you like. Thanks XD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IinD7nFD9yw

Typical unity indie horror game on steam, read notes that have a stuipid broken english story while being chased at points by a guy with an axe. Really unoptimised and unintuitive. Really tired of this time of game this isnt what horror is about. Game Tries to something like penumbra or outlast but really is just a shitty slender type game.
