Nov. 2024

It was overall well made for a simple little game, albeit very short and perhaps a tad pointless. The story is surprisingly pretty interesting and there are 8 different endings you can unlock. Without a guide it takes a few hours to 100% complete everything. There's one particular puzzle I got stuck on because I didn't know you could combine items. You mostly wander around a house trying to extinguish candles, but you can only do this by freeing the dead spirit that guards the candle. The order is pretty simplistic but there are a lot of red herrings laying all about the map so it takes a bit of time. If you know what to do the game can be completed in five minutes. You only take damage from a woman who is wandering around the map with a knife. If she gets too close she stabs you in a truly grisly manner, so you want to hide inside things. I didn't know until about an hour of playing that you could hold the left mouse button to close the wardrobe or trunk you are hiding in to make sure she doesn't see you. There are eight endings but you can unlock all of them in about five minutes if you just create a save file before going after the endings. Overall I enjoyed it but I do wish there was a bit more complexity to make it more engrossing since the developer built all these assets for an extremely brief experience. The MSPaint graphics are nice and the faux-8 bit music, with its classical touches, is exceptional.

Creepy and sad story, with exceptional music and fantastic art direction. The atmosphere is off the charts, I loved it! I got a bit stuck trying to find all the endings, but the puzzles were for the most part satisfying and logical (in the context of a dreamlike point and click adventure game). Exploring and paying attention to items in your surroundings pays off. I even drew out my own map to note points of interest and locations, which along with the simple graphic style and colour palette reinforced that retro feel. Which pairs so well with the horror genre! Less is definitely more in this case. I played on original difficulty (the easier of the two options) as my patience for hiding from monsters etc. in games is quite low, I prefer to look around without being interrupted but if I have to hide/be chased like in this, I will make it as painless as possible for myself. But note that original difficulty (easy) may be too easy for you if you are looking for that added challenge in regards to enemies. A stylish and spooky horror experience, great stuff. I just immediately bought the devs other game on steam, Nightmare Zapping, which I am excited to also play!

Sept. 2024

I have not played many text adventures but I think this was a good one. Some of the puzzles are quite challenging and I did get stuck, but I still enjoyed this story overall. The artwork is well done and the landscapes, though few, were elaborate and mysterious.

Ah! *I bend down and pick the game like a pulsing four-leaf clover made of spectral flesh.* Lo-fi horror adventure in the first person or otherwise (as opposed to polygonal streamer bait), with face-ripping ghosts and blood rituals, haunted mansions, and demons -- I'm always snooping around for stuff like this, but can you believe that so few games fit the bill? Salazar House embodies this sought-after sub-sub-genre, but not always perfectly. The crunchy monochrome graphics are pretty much there; I can't complain on that score, though a little more detail would be handy so I'd know what some of the things are -- for example, the black smear in the foyer: it looks like it could be a singed pile of dude or anything really, though it's not . . . dude. (But it's blood, which I suppose is dude juice ). The way the palette shifts to indicate the nearness of danger, though, is a very nice touch! And here's a cool surprise: active mechanics and hit points! (There's no combat.) Didn't know I wanted them, but I like 'em, as well as the cool Easter Egg wrapped up in the usage of healing items. The simple fireside story is cool for the most part, though I think the proofreader did a pretty urine poor job indeed -- especially considering the tiny amount of text this game has. The narrative would have had better impact on me if the English had been tighter. ("It's" is never gonna be an adequate possessive pronoun for any human creature, no matter what kind of wacky game you're playing with yourself, and this game obviously isn't going for that anyway.) The hiding/defense/escape mechanics, the way you can actually run from the killer sorceress on the map, or duck into a steamer trunk for a bizarre game of slasher peek-a-boo -- they're rudimentary but certainly nerve-wracking enough for a short horror game. If Maldo does another, he should consider translating these over to his new project; they worked well here, even if they could be improved a smidge! This is fun! It's not a huge time investment to go through and get all the endings, and the whole thing is an interesting experience.

June 2024

A great little horror game that deserves more sales than it has so far. It's like renting an old horror VHS tape in the early 80s - you pay a couple of dollars with no real idea of the content, then spend a few hours being thoroughly entertained. It's also very easy to 100% if that's your kind of thing.
