Sept. 2024

This game is very clever with its plot, but it is undermined somewhat by the english characters speak. Everyone, mostly scientists, talk like teen boys. Although that sounds pretty annoying, it mostly didn't bother me because the game is really good. The only other complaint was forcing inventory to the "I" key which just seems like a really weird decision. Yeah, the word "inventory" starts with i, but it would have been much less of a pain to play if I could just press space bar, tab, X or any other convienent key that wasn't already in use.

A great little atmospheric horror adventure game that doesn't outstay its welcome.

March 2024

The Long Reach is a 2d pixel side scroller puzzle adventure horror with great animation and a decent story. The game play is nothing to rave about with the majority of the work being you walking back and forth across the map to retrieve objects; thank goodness you can run or else this would be a painfully slow game. The puzzles are basically you clicking on every highlighted object and seeing what fits, so nothing crazy. Not much replay value and even though you receive different voice lines to say, they all end up with the same endpoint which renders the difference in choices moot. The ending left me with more questions than answers and was anticlimactic, leaving me feeling dissatisfied. Still, it was a violent, gory and thought provoking experience that that took around 5 hours to 100%; I'd recommend.

I loved the art style and the intro. Absolutely jaw-dropped at the twist. I will say some of the puzzles are SUPER challenging (I may have used a walk through for some parts). Still a wonderful game and re-playable as well!

Feb. 2024

I usually play first person shooter games, or silly little cozy games, but a homie recommended this game to me to try out since it went on sale. I was humbled. It was suspenseful, and the plot & lore constantly built up with each decision you made, and the longer you played. Would definitely recommend if you wanted to try out a horror-game, but were nervous about doing so due to getting scared easily. May be hard to follow through some parts, but overall a good game if you like games with a solid character buildup & having to figure everything out for yourself.
