A fun and atmospheric little experience! The scissor sounds are impeccably stressful.

TNOTS is part of a bundle I bought mainly because of the other game, ‘The Fear Business’, but I was still looking forward to giving this one a try. I completed the game within 39 minutes the first time and that includes a couple of deaths. It took 20 minutes to get the rest of the achievements bar one. The game has that very simplified ‘Resident Evil’ formula while being chased by a killer that pretty much instantly kills you if you’re too close. Although the scope is too small to get anything truly meaningful, I was still pretty impressed. It’s very atmospheric, it controls pretty well with tank controls, there are different camera perspectives that change the game quite significantly, there weren’t any bugs I encountered and the achievements were fine. It only felt way too quiet, I don’t necessarily need music in the background but there wasn’t any sound at all aside from footsteps, being chased etc. There is also one achievement that must be gotten within the week of Halloween. I’m going to have to wait until next year with my unfortunate timing. I’m not sure if €2,50 is worth it but it’s absolutely worth taking a look at when it’s on sale and you’re getting it with a bundle anyway. It’s always fascinating to see the humble beginnings of a developer and this one is a good start. Being a fan of the genre also makes this worth taking a look at.

Good game but a bit slow-paced. Highly recommend if you're looking for a short game with good atmosphere and setting.
