Pertamanya sebagai player baru menurut saya agak susah untuk mengerti tujuan dari game ini, tapi setelah menemukan beberapa ending akhir nya baru bisa paham. Dan juga susah banget untuk mengungkap ending2 nya tanpa mencontek :D cerita nya oke, jumpscare nya mungkin bisa dibikin lebih horror, creepy nya dapet. Overall oke guys.

Very good graphics, very easy controls, lots of improvisation, good DLC which introduces mythical legends and mystical creatures in Indonesia, hopefully in the future there will be more interesting DLCs to play!

An Indonesian horror game that isn’t truly scary, but it does have some great atmosphere. I got the based game from a charity bundle and I bought the three expansion packs, so I do think it is worth the money. There are some issues. There are over 100 endings across the four stories, which is both a blessing and a curse. There’s lots to explore, but too many of the endings are repetitive. You will have to do X then Y then Z to get to the end of the story and there are two or three options for how you do each, so to get all of the dozen endings, you will be doing mostly the same stuff a dozen times. There are also some bugs. At one point, you have to interact with an object, but if you are too close, the animation starts but never ends and you have to hit Alt-F4 to get out of the game. On the other hand, if you are too far away, the animation never starts and you are also stuck and have to hit Alt-F4 to get out of the game. It is worth picking up, but keep in mind it is a low-budget indie game that relies more on atmosphere than true scares and your enjoyment will depend heavily on how much repetitiveness you are willing to deal with to get all of the endings.

This experience was scarier than the thought of this year's incoming taxes readjustments announced by my country’s government! This is a spine-chilling journey into the depths of Indonesian mythology, weaving together captivating narratives and immersive horror gameplay! We’ll be transported to various haunting locations. Each inspired by different Indonesian folklore tales. From a rural Javanese village to a remote Balinese villa, paintings of a vivid picture of the country's cultural diversity while embracing its ghostly legends. The attention to detail in the game's environments is commendable, immersing us players in an authentic eerie setting, which will grant goosebumps all over our bodies once we decide to embark ourselves in such a journey! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3153766630 What makes this game a bit different from others within the genre, is its focus on our choices and the aftermath consequences those would bring. As you progress through the game, you’ll have to confront moral dilemmas and cultural taboos deeply ingrained in folklore. Your decisions directly impact the outcome of the story, making it branch into various endings. This interactive element adds a layer of tension which turns this thrilling journey into a replayable one, encouraging you to explore different narrative paths! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3153766579 The game masterfully builds suspense, relying on psychological horror rather than cheap jump scares, and the wise use of atmospheric sound design, dim lighting, and chilling whispers creates an unnerving ambiance that will keep you on edge more than once, which is refreshing. The mechanics revolve around exploration, puzzle-solving, and avoiding supernatural entities that will gladly take more than a hold on you if allowed to! Carefully searching your surroundings for clues, artifacts, and items to progress, all while being mindful of the spirits that roam around the area can even make you a bit paranoid wondering if what you've heard or saw was real or not a mere trick of your scared wits. The puzzles are cleverly integrated into the folklore themes, being sometimes a challenge that complements the overall narrative. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3153766604 Final Thoughts! [*]An aspect that could use a bit of improvement could be the pacing. Sometimes it can feel a bit slow, as the game focuses heavily on storytelling and atmosphere rather than action. [*]There are a variety of stories to follow through, and more content was added given time to this game, whilst I cannot recommend all the DLC, given some of them are not that good in comparison with what we were first offered as a horror experience. [*]Are you old enough to recognize the Nokia easter egg?👀 Also, other references for a variety of topics can be found along the way buuut I don’t want to spoil anything! If you're seeking a haunting adventure that explores folklore and superstitions from a different cultural perspective, Pamali is a game you should give a taste of!
