Devil in the Pines

"You've accidentally crashed into a haunted forest. What would possibly go wrong?!" "Quite a lot, as it turns out. Starved of protection in to the form of flashlight batteries and matchboxes/campfires, and hunted by unimaginable horrors, you must rely on quick thinking as well as the 6 arrows in your crossbow to postpone becoming a meal for the denizens of the woods. But carry on you must as your sweet daughter's life hangs in the balance. One way or another you will see her again soon." Devil in the Pines is a great little survival horror game by the fledgling studio Rebelware Games. If you have a taste for indie horror, or if you're looking for something not satisfied in the rest of the steam catalog, I'd definitely recommend it. As with any indie horror game, prepare to die a lot before you learn the systems. While consequences in a game like Dark Souls might make you afraid to die, Devil in the Pines makes you afraid to live. Don't worry though, regardless of where you are, you a...

The good! - Solid atmosphere, good audio cues (if not a bit too good at telling you exactly what's coming), and generally good at being creepy. - Nice variety of enemies and events, and seemingly pretty solid randomization and AI. Not perfect, especially with regard to item pickups, but we'll touch on that in a bit. The bad. - Items are totally randomized, but each item is necessary to counter a specific threat that can also appear randomly with little notice. It's near impossible to spot what an item is from a distance, so this means you'll spend a lot of time running between them and praying you maintain at least 1 of each lest you face certain death. - "Running between them" is a bit of a lie, because your intrepid survalist is actually an 800 lbs man that hasn't left his power scooter in decades and has a bum leg. He's capable of sprinting for about 5 seconds. Total, in the game. It recharges so slowly as to be almost irrelevent, unless you like standing around in safe zones...

Way too scary! holy s***! This is what scary games should be like. Kept me on the edge at all times. Will be playing it for hours and every difficulty level!

think my pants need a clean awhile ago lol this game requires more chapters to keep it going. make a story out of it. one of the best legit scary games I have ever played o-o

UPDATE: You'll be able to find this game on my YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOBvhK4teoo&t=38s -It's initially terrifying, introducing enemies without much warning... however, I wouldn't mind a build-up to these enemies, like each of them having their own little section to teach us how to deal with them (so that way 'trial and error' isn't an issue) before the big ol' key hunt. -The sound design is great, no complaints there. -The story's interesting, but it's a shame I couldn't reach the end... yet. -The previous version didn't make any real change to the AI based on difficulty. Now, with the newest update on Wed, this has been pretty much resolved. -I previously commented on the demon's absurd speed not realizing that's just how the game is. I still ran into an issue of the demon popping up right beside me without any warning. -Thank you developers for actually taking my pleas (and probably others) into consideration. My beef with the traps has come to a...

Nice little survival game. Just keep in mind it can be finished in about 15 minutes or less. There are 3 difficulties, it took me 40 minutes to beat the game on each. Also the game felt a bit random for me, especially when enemies appear. Still I had fun.

https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=BhnENeDT7bk I put about an hour into the game but only played it for about thirty minutes. i screwed up and set the monitor size wrong and couldn't fix it. Kudos to the dev for the heads up on how to fix my fuck up. Rebelware earned my respect right there. As for the game itself, I actually had a lot of fun playing it. There's a good amount of tension, though the demon and his legion hordes do seem to pick up on your way too early for my liking. It'd be nice to have a bit of reprieve from time to time to let the unsetteling paranoia something may be following you before your heart starts racing instead of it hitting the moment you enter the pines. That said, when you know something uis drawing closer, your hair can stand up on end as paranoia kicks in whi;e scanning the ground for whatever is lurking in the shadows. There's also a good deal of balance between you and the enemies, but you really need to pay attention most of the time in order...

This game will literally not work. I open the game and my screen goes green and staticy and I can't do anything to close out of the game except restart my computer. 0/10 Would not recommend.

This game is perfect for its price point andhas fantastic atmosphere and a slightly randomized playthrough system to make your game different enough for added replay value. If you want to support small indie developers and you like horror games this game is perfect for you.

An interesting but difficult game (when it wasn't crashing). The premise of the game is honestly quite refreshing, but the rng is pretty annoying. From what I've seen from my friends, the biggest takeaway from this game is the unique death animation. That's about it. Decent experience, 5/10. Worth playing, but not with how crash-prone it is.
