TLDR; Game's confused on what it should be- but I had fun playing it. Spoilers ahead Part 1: It started out extremely strong. You and your fiance went to an island, you two are split up under mysterious circumstances. It was like an investigative horror game where you'd enter multiple scenes of people dead, dying, or you being responsible for their death. Once you collected all 4 souls you can visit your fiance on the pier- and then a giant alien saucer abducts the both of you. Then you play as a character locked away in a lighthouse on the same island, see the corpse of your sister. Then you play as the character who locked himself in a trailer for the first part of the game. Part 2: So the character you played as right at the end of part 1 is a hunter and went out to go hunt some creature in a hunting ground area or something like that. Super simplified; you kill 3 animals, inject their body with some sleeping medicine, go back to see if the creature ate their body, follow the creature, and kill it in a cave. Apparently the creature is actually created by the aliens to harvest human souls (because it's the most powerful energy source says the aliens), so they can fly humans to a new planet so they prosper. Right at the very end of the game I got used to shooting the aliens but by the Gods did this game give me whiplash on the reveal of the aliens. Is this game worth $10? I'd argue it's worth half the price. It's rough around the edges but fun to play.

This is the best example of a mixed bag. There are some great ideas in here but it feels like there should have been someone standing over the shoulder of this bloke saying "maybe dont put that in there". Saying that i have played Witch Hunt and that is a fantastic game and just shows how talented this developer is. I really want to see him develop new ideas and improve on his foundation. He has the skills and passion and that is a rare thing in this day and age. Best of luck to him.

Nice, creepy atmosphere in a small open world. First half of the game is probably the best - second half gets a bit weird and plenty weirder by the end. I enjoyed it. It's creepy but not oh I shit my pants scary... There's next to no jump scares by my definition of them. As long you don't get jump scared by farts then you'll be fine. You get to shoot stuff in the second half of the game. Sound design is pretty good. Pretty cheap when on sale.

This game is a little weird in that it's 2 completely different games slapped together. Seriously. It completely changes direction half way through, disregarding the entire first half. It was actually pretty good up to this point. Nice little horror story to unravel through details littered around the map, nice atmosphere, genuinely creepy to play. It's a bit short though, maybe an hour to follow the clues. The second half of the game is a fps hunting game. It's not a bad game, it just feels like there are 2 half finished projects competing for something here. I can see the ideas and spirit that would later go onto become Witch Hunt and Skinwalker hunt. It's pretty amazing this is all the work of one deveIoper. I would recommend this game if you enjoyed any of the developers other works.
