Marlene Betwixt

EDIT - Below is my original review. A small patch has come out which has sorted the dim light out at the beginning. I have now played a lot of the game and I previously said it was a 'good game' - I now think it's a 'very good game' for £8 - helpful developer as well! "Good game, well made, thinking Man's psychological horror that you need to persevere with. What I mean by this is: at the beginning of the game, the first building (out house) is quite dark and the phone torch to view the game to do what needs doing is frustratingly not good enough (IMO needs wider beam) - once you're past that part things are easier and the game get's better. The game is not an action horror game more like a tense, suspense horror game that requires thought to move on - you feel rewarded once you sussed something out. My wife played the game and really got into it - she wanted to finish it which she nearly has - well we think she has as we've been playing the game for more than 3 hrs and we're still ...

I'm sure a lot of time went into creating this game, but unfortunately I simply can't recommend it. It can be buggy sometimes and the puzzles are just meh..not to mention the way it looks.

I have played this several times but only get stuck in the first building. Very frustrating with no obvious way to advance in the game. No sense of what the game is about and what I am trying to accomplish. This is frustarting and just get stuck in a couple of rooms with no way out. That is nad enough but again no flow here just a couple of spooky dudes and scence. They do not make anysense - is there a story? is there a game? is this a 5 minute walk around to get stuck in a building?

I found this game really aggravating. It's like a demo for VR that's really in love with picking up books and soda cans. The play is one pixel-hunt after another, and your reward for finding the pixel is a jump scare. The story is a cliche, the sounds and music are very primitive (free downloads, I think) and objects, including critical objects, can clip through floors and walls and get stuck. Have you ever wanted to try and find the marble in the oatmeal, while dodgeballs rain down on your head? This game has that experience, for some reason. An hour of gameplay, if you can plow through the frustration. Play for free or maybe for a dollar, if you have literally nothing else to do. Definitely not worth $7.

Do not buy this game. Way too buggy. Can't get past the first house, because items keep disappearing or i can't pick them up. Must move them with other stuff and sometimes FINALLY i am able to pick the required item up again.

Great Concept. Issues with gas room keypad and was unable to continue the game. Restarted the game to make sure i was doing it right at the tutorial. No problem there. Shrugg. Looking forward to updates.

Great spooky story and head scratching puzzle game.

Great game BUT experiencing stutter in the oprning garden scene and a few other places, hope this gets fixed !! Running gtx980 dragon pro...

Great experience, very creepy. Works well with the Oculus. Looking forward to the next act!

Marlene is a VR horror experience you have to try if you are into these kind of games. You know ;) the ones that give you goosebumps and make you feel like there is someone behind you D: Im not a man of many words so if you want to see for yourself if this game is something for you, check out my VOD of it below. But yeah, a thumbs up from me here, looking forward to new episodes of this, hopefully coming soon. Oh and the way I managed to get a certain item in this game has now been fixed ;D so good luck finding out the way to get it ;) https://www.twitch.tv/brewsleetv/v/101487742
