Caretaker

I really wanted to like this game, but I just can't recommend it. The atmosphere, sound design, & overall ambience give the game a very creepy vibe. However, it starts to wear off once you encounter the enemy. I'll admit the first encounter is a little unnerving. Graphics are pretty good, especially the lighting from your flashlight. Caretaker felt like playing an eight dollar tech demo. It feels more like a conceptual idea, rather than a coherent experience. That goes for the story as well, or lack thereof. There's a lot of non objective items to pick up & look at in the game, but serve no purpose other than a couple attempted jump scares, and an achievement. You'll encounter many empty rooms while moving about the map. The game could've really benefited from better objective direction towards the end of the game. It felt like a chore to finish. What frustrated me the most in the game is every time the enemy attacked, your character literally froze in place. You can't run away at t...

6/10 I bought this game to play for a Halloween video on a whim. My previous idea crashed after my power went out and I had to make a backup on the fly when it came back. I bought this on sale for about 7 bucks and played for roughly an hour. Pros: The first half of this I found genuinely spooky. It was offputting and had just enough good audio to get me a riled up. The ambiance was there and it was a decent spooker overall. Although there isn't really a HUD or indicator of what to do, I found myself surprisingly finding my way around correctly due to some decent direction. Cons: Once the actual enemy showed up, I wasn't particularly frightened anymore. Some things just flatout don't make sense, [spoiler]like going deaf from falling ten feet.[/spoiler] If you're not paying attention I can easily see someone getting lost or missing something, and the lack of direction will make itself very apparent. Overall I enjoyed it, but I also came in to it expecting nothing. You'll get rough...

WHEN YOU WALK INSIDE A BUILDING IT STILL RAINS INSIDE. INSIDE THE BUILDING THERE ARE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS, 5 OF THEM ALL IN THE SAME SPOT. WHY DEVELOPER DID YOU NOT CARE? SIGNED, PERSON WHO PAYED MONEY TO YOU

Not a terrible game, but it's also not a good one.

[h1]Caretaker[/h1] [i]Recommend this little horror title mostly for the creepy dark atmosphere/environment - also i liked the dynamic flashlight movement...[/i]

I gave this game a fair chance ... Sadly , after only 20 minutes of playtime I know what this will be. Another run of the mill "horror"-game to add to the list. The movement is so cluncky I got motion sickness from it. I mean what the F.... The rest is your standard fare, collect keys, items and have a bad guy chasing you ... Nah, not recommended.

This game is definitely a walking simulator with no ability to fight the monster. The best thing to do is to run as much as possible and collect the objective items to progress forward. The achievements can be completed 100% on the first play through, but most people will miss one or two along the way. All achievements are easy and require little to no skill to achieve. This game does have some creepy moments and sinister environments with great detail, but the part it lacks most is a solid story line. Most the time you are just exploring and going from one place to another by following the labels on the map. It tells you everything you need to do in the beginning, but for some people this can be confusing or easily forgettable. Rate 4/10 because there was no way to tell where the items were because they were not highlighted with a luminescent glow. The Caretaker is the killer and once he grabs you there is no escape. You will spawn at the nearest checkpoint which is very clos...

Pros : - Believe it or not the atmosphere is quite scary - Graphics arent painfull to look at - Can be finished in one sitting easily - There is some effort behind it Cons : - The "caretaker" isnt that scary after you get caught for the first time - fragments of some story telling are nowhere to be find, other then title screen after you started the game - 1 hour of gameplay just isnt much for 7 euro - Stealth mechanics just arent working very well - Some truely cheap jumpscares (loud noise made by nothing and such) - No conclusion to the game - movement feels cluncy Overall : For this price point (7 euros) its just not worth it, maybe if u wait for some steam sale, otherwise just save your money

Certainly not the best horror game out there the sound effects are very poor quality. I would only recommend this on a sale.
