Somehow this game missed my radar the last 4 years! This game is basically a Resident Evil clone in top down format, with cute polygon character models. Don't be fool however by the graphics, this is a legit serious full survival horror experience. It took me around 4 hours without a guide to beat the game, and another hour to cleanup and obtain the other 3 endings. + Ingenious level design + Complex puzzles that would rival a full Resident Evil game + The controls work perfectly with the mouse and keyboard. Running around shooting zombies felt very fluid and using items is quick and easy. Very friendly quick menu interface. + 4 Endings, New Game Plus, secret bonus weapons and outfit, tons of stuff to unlock and uncover + Well polished game, difficulty is perfectly balanced, lots of achievements for the achievement hunters + The howling sound effect when you go outside is straight from the original Resident Evil, icing on the cake! + The save room music is beautiful - One or Two puzzles are a bit obtuse and barely make sense - Lots of backtracking and running in circles on your first playthrough - A few times a zombie would be behind a wall and the camera angle would not allow you to see the zombie Excellent game overall ! Very highly recommended to people that want a light experience similar to the original first Resident Evil game. Overall 8.5 / 10

Quick Description: -Heaven Dust is a survival horror game w/ a cute art style that is heavily inspired by the Resident Evil series. This game is a great example of a passion project made by a small team, w/ the goal to create a fun, modern Indie gem, inspired by a game the devs grew up playing. This game can be completed in one or two sittings (3-6 hrs), and mixes inventory management, puzzles, and killing plenty of zombies! It's by no means perfect. It feels a bit rough around the edges and offers very little challenge outside of a few obscure puzzles and some backtracking. Consensus: -Middle of the Road Game (Tier 4 and makes up 25% of my reviews). While I enjoyed my time w/ this game, I do think the devs played it a bit safe. There isn't one single zombie that poses even the slightest threat in this game. You only get one weapon (w/ a weapon mod and a couple basic upgrades) and you will basically have endless amounts of ammo which eliminates all tension. Fortunately, there is enough charm and genre references for fans of the genre to feel like they got their money's worth. This is a recommendation for ppl that love the Resident Evil series, especially if you can pick it up for 50-75% off.

i'm big fan of the genre so to play this which was so obviously inspired by the original Resident Evil and such was very enjoyable. Item management, puzzles, everything is a nod to the classics sometimes to it's detriment (Storyline was a bit weak) but for the most part it hits the mark. I can't wait to start playing the 2nd one.

Introduction Heaven Dust is an indie survivor horror inspired by the Resident Evil series. Pros & Cons Pros: + Interesting puzzles + Levels are fun to explore + Unique visual style Cons: - Lack of variety in enemies and guns - Not much of a survival horror - Very short (~2 hours) Story The plot is pretty straightforward. You wake up in a laboratory complex infested with zombies. As usual, your goal is to figure out what happened and what to do in order to save the world. The story is delivered by collectable notes. There aren’t many of them, and most of the time, they contain hints at puzzles. So while it is a cheap and boring way to deliver a story, it mostly works within this game and didn’t really bother me. There are also multiple endings, a couple of them are easy to find, while the other two are a bit more cryptic and require paying attention to what you read. Gameplay As mentioned earlier, the game draws inspiration from Resident Evil , specifically the first three games. Although there’s one distinction, instead of a fixed camera, you now have more of a top-down perspective. As for the core gameplay, it uses a similar combat system, where your character makes all the aiming for you and always fires at the target whenever you press a "shoot" button. Instead, it relies on puzzles to provide you with a challenge. Puzzles are interesting, although most of the time it’s just a matter of bringing the right tool to the right place. All of this is made harder by the limited size of your inventory and the size of the map. The game takes place in a large research complex filled with secret rooms and hidden pathways. It’s a fun place to explore and you’ll constantly unlock alternative routes that will speed up backtracking. If you manage to get stuck on a puzzle, you can spend in-game currency that is dropped by zombies to unlock hints. The thing I liked most about the puzzles, is that sometimes they force you to reuse some items. Like when you insert a battery to open some door, but then you have to open another similar door and by taking out the battery the first door closes. This creates an interesting navigational challenge. There are a couple of bad things in there, like the shooting. The top-down camera also makes the shooting part a cake walk. I probably got hit like 5 times through the entire game. Unlike its source of inspiration, the game feels unbalanced. It basically showers you with ammo and heal items destroying the sense of a survival horror. The enemies are also lacking in variety. There are only your regular zombie humans and the final boss, which isn’t all that different from them. There’s also only one gun in the game, although you can upgrade it to make the game even easier. Graphics & Audio The game has an unusual visual style, that tries to mix cute anime characters and low poly 3D of a PS2 era. I can’t say that I particularly enjoy this mix, but it sure does help this game to stand out. As for the sound design, it sounds a bit cheap and zombie screams start to get tiring pretty fast. There’s also an issue with positional audio, like when the zombies coming at you from the right, you’ll hear their screams in your left ear. The music is ok though, it’s nothing to write home about, but it didn’t get on my nerves and communicated the desired atmosphere pretty well. Performance Specs: AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU 8GB, 32GB RAM. At 1080 resolution, the game runs at steady 165 FPS without any issues. The game doesn’t have graphics settings, except for the fullscreen/windowed mode. Conclusion Heaven Dust is a short survival horror game that leans more towards puzzles than survival. While it does take heavy inspiration from the popular series, there are enough distinctions to make the game stand on its own. If you like games about puzzles and exploration, then be sure to check this one out.
