Bloody Mary: Forgotten Curse

[i]Bloody Mary: Forgotten Curse[/i] claims to be an open world horror game, which is debatable. Sure, you can explore an open island, but there's only one objective: find the 7 items. Seem familiar? It is a Slender-like game. Are Slender games usually considered and categorized as open world? Hum... I was excited at first, as the concept of an open world survival horror game is very interesting to me, but quickly realized there is not much of a player choice in this. The game starts well, inside a cave, makes you wonder why you are here and where you are but then the problems start. First of all, you are supposed to go down a hole by traversing down to the lower rocks.

You've been here before if you played low grade Slender type games. One large map with seven items to find. Finding an item triggers a baddie which walks around for a few moments before disappearing. You'll run in the large map from location to location and there may be creatures in the woods which will just disappear after they are triggered for a few moments or you just outrun them. Honestly, the first one I saw was stuck in the gate of the "House" area and it looked like a ghost chicken spreadeagled. I think they are supposed to be baby ghosts? At the beginning of the game your journal details what the entire story is. Exploration for notes and other story items is pointless in the game., There are small arbitrary scrawlings or notes that do nothing to add to the story. You are just supposed to find the seven items, drop them in the lake, the exit is highlighted and "Game Over" when you go there. No additional story. No bosses. Nothing. It's absolutely not worth 10 buc...
