Dec. 2024

I hope more of the 90s vibe games are coming out more and more now, this is a decent short story prior to Lake Haven, which the dev is working on, apparently, like a prelude to Lake Haven. If you enjoyed Silent Hill games, this will give you Silent Hill 1 vibe, and there are some great Silent Hill franchise reference to look out for! Because this is so short, perhaps u'd like to wait for it to bundle up with the fully released Lake Haven in the future, I bought this a year and half ago, and got around to play it this week. My only wish is that we could choose 2D or 3D control movement, this one is 3D so no matter where the camera angle is, you have to move where the character is moving, not where the camera angle is, so bit tougher to play, I prefer 2D movement but that's OK, I did work on improving my control with 3D movement.

Well worth the price, does not overstay its welcome. Has one of my favorite easter eggs ever and I can´t wait to see more from this dev.

This game seems like it will be one of the best revil/sh inspired games out there. It looks quite promising! Good tank controls, good camera placement, good ambiance, good thrill, good puzzles. Great job!

March 2024

Its described as a "prologue" but its a paid demo honestly, though its a good one. Zero combat and all puzzle solving, although alot of the puzzles are just finding an item and using it somewhere else. Ther is however the ability to combine inspect and combine items which is neat. Game has alot of Twin Peaks vibes, and theres also a ton of very blatant homages to other horror games, they kinda made me chuckle how in your face they were. Despite that the game is fun and will keep you entertained for around 2 hours.

March 2024

A wonderful introduction to the world of Lake Haven, a love letter to Silent Hill and Twin Peaks, with a lot of its own charm and a fantastic flow to its puzzles and mechanics. It's incredibly eerie, with very subtle sound design that puts you on edge as you try and piece together the story in an enchantingly creepy environment. Once I'd gotten settled in with the premise, and felt comfortable, it did a fantastic job of subverting expectations and pulling me right out of my seat. Also, a little guy! Neat!
