• Review report:

  • Negatives: Not scary, Hard to know what to do next, compared to 2 other Chillas Art games (fans try prior games, they built a following), hard for people to see

  • Positives: Build suspense well, scary, Some cross players from places like Emika_Games, multiple endings

Gameplay

• Zoom available

• Camcorder has face detection

  • Didn't understand at first

• Multiple paths branch out

  • Gives player the choice (now whatever happens is on them)

• Need a key for the bulldozer to progress, odd

• Puzzle area with house, i didn't understand how to get inside

  • Pull switch outside

• Couldn't get one of the puzzles, had to cheat

• Van is shaking nearby, need an axe inside

• Chop down tree to cross river

Sounds

• Drops of water, feet kicking trash, inside tunnel it’s amplified

• Footsteps sound cut off, concrete/slush only, quite noticeable

• So quiet you could hear a pin drop (which i did)

• Gate in the cemetery screeches open

• Phone booth, step inside and there is a voice on the phone asking for help

• Footsteps outside, i dont turn around

• Door slams open

Art

• Immediately starts with camcorder

• A light is on in one path, promises safety (nothing bad ever happens in the light

• Exit the tunnel, there are dilapidated cars and a cave-in

• Back at the tunnel, no more light

  • Abandoned truck inside

• Light at the end of the tunnel, but no lightbulb

UI

• Overlay with time in seconds, battery, date, and no. 49

Writing

• Dog was hurt

  • Helped dog

• Called the police, need to wait

Scare Factor

• Entrance is menacing and large, ominous noises

• Inside the tunnel any sound is a jolt of fear

• Footsteps rustling in the woods, alarming

• Body hanging in tree, startled me

• Truck inside the tunnel started up and immediately drove off (jump scare?)

• Something attacks while waiting for police

  • Woman appears in shattered lens

  • Character is dragged away

Extra

• Fade in/out for using ladder (basic way of avoiding animation)

Overall

• The locale was creepy and had different areas to explore, thought it was all going to be just the one tunnel

• Did very well with the environment, was a little dark, never really had a single mascot enemy to avoid or be afraid of, never saw anything
