UNHALLOWED: THE CABIN

I really wanted to like this, it looked like a lot of fun. That said, I ended up disappointed. The Good: Well made environments. Good physics engine. An interesting take on an inventory system. Good sounds and ambience. The Odd: Because the items in your hands retain physics collision, some interesting things can happen. The melee weapons are much more powerful than the gun. You can wear hats however you want on your head since they are placeables. You grab things with the trigger, and release with the grip, which is fine with items, but it also uses this for world items, like drawers and doors. The Ugly: Blurry, I run an I7 7600k, with 32 gb of ddr4 ram, and an Nvidia 1070gtx, yet the visuals are blurry. Options page, as of writing this, does not work. No saves or checkpoints as far as I could find, if you quit, or crash, its start from scratch along with a fairly long boat ride in which you can't do anything. The enemy ai is... inscrutable. Half the time it would just walk by me, ...

Really enjoyed this creepy little title. Very atmospheric with well crafted graphics. Was very, very brief - made the end credits in under an hour and the story line is more or less left up to your imagination, but there's evil out at that cabin! There were a couple of particularly freaky moments... And I'm not too proud to say I screamed out loud at one point! I'm surprised the neighbours didn't call the police. Ha! As far as gameplay, a few basic puzzles that solve themselves. Movement was a little restrained in some places and some objects seemed a tad clunky at times, but all in all I enjoyed it. More of an interactive experience, rather than a game as such. Just a shame it wasn't longer, so as far as price goes (I paid USD$16.99), I think you're paying for quality, not quantity here.

no sound. hard to move
