A trip just in time for Halloween. Fun for the whole family, my son loves it here. Atlantic Island Park were kind enough to give us the whole place to ourselves too. Chad the chipmunk was a great guide, all the rides were free (shock therapy was my favorite) and I even got this bloody ice pick souvenir too. Tell your friends, bring your kids.

I like this very much. A creepy tale of finding a lost child...only to discover the narrator is unreliable. Not much replay value unless you are an achievement hunter. The first time listening to this while paying attention to all the details of the character model and notes you find along the way make a big difference. 2 hours to play once and then run through to complete things you missed. Overall rating: 8/10

The game was just my speed! Due to the game art emphasizing the park's chipmunk character, you'd be forgiven for thinking this was some kind of Five Nights at Freddy's animatronic jumpscare game - it's not. Instead, it's more of a traditional 'walking sim' as much as those can be considered to have traditions. You're playing the perspective of a mother running after her bratty kid who ran back into the park after it closed. You are walking along, exploring, and reading as the story unfolds. You don't have to RUN for safety, and you're not in danger if you take a leisurely pace to explore the creepy park. It's pretty intuitive where you need to go, following the path, and towards the end, there's a brilliant sequence going through a portion of rooms repeatedly as little things change each time, revealing more of the story and getting scarier. It took just about an hour and a half to beat with all the achievements, and most of them were unlocked by naturally exploring the different areas. I only returned for one or two, which I missed at the end. It was a great break between long 100+ hour jrpgs. Give it a whirl if you're looking for a short, creepy tale to unfold.

Protagonist Lorraine has to cope with serious, drastic issues from the past. Set in a creepy amusement park hiding a dark and sinister secret, the player gets into the mind of a traumatized, broken mother. This part of the storyline qualifies for the psychological horror aspect of the game. Beware, if you are a parent yourself, the topics used can be very disturbing and emotionally distressing. Attention has to be paid, however, to the narrative. If the player wants to get the maximum experience, all notes have to be read carefully and interpreted. There are clips available on YouTube as well, with content creators explaining the story, after having done their research themselves. Make sure not expecting a survival horror game here, the player cannot die on any way in this game. There are a few jumpscares here and there, but most of the creepiness comes the captivating, intensifying and ultimately climaxing psychological storyline. Also note this title qualifies as a walking simulator as well, with the movement speed being very slow. There is an option to run, by toggling the shift button, but the movement still is not fast. At some walks, when there is spoken monologue, the option to run is disabled as well. The Park is definately intended not to be rushed. Graphics and aestethics do a very good job trying to immerse the player into the world. At the time of writing this review, the game has been released more than 8 years ago, and the graphics still hold up fine. Developers used the Unreal engine to accomplish this. It runs extremely well and flawlessly on newer PC’s. Moving flora, mist, reflections in various objects,... it is all there. Music and sound effects are what one expects from games similar to this one. On given times the sound effects enhance the experience for the player. Spooky, grinding sounds to create a creepy atmosphere. Duration of The Park is very short, the amusement park itself is not very large, with only a few attractions in it. Game can be completed easily under 2 hours, without having to rush anything. Consider purchasing on a sale, because of this fact, also taking into account, the game also has nearly no replay value. Fourtheen achievements can be unlocked to achieve a perfect game. Some of them are missable, but are very easy to retrieve later on during the playthrough or on a subsequent playthrough. The hardest achievement, the one that has the least percentage of players completed, is at the very start of the game. All this can be done in one playthrough and easily under 2 hours, which lends The Park excellently for achievement hunters and completionists. To conclude: When buying The Park on a discount sale, i did not do any research beforehand. Simply assessing the screenshots on the Steam store page, my mind was creating its own horror game in an amusent park, what a great setting! I was dissapointed at first, when i found out the game is very linear and non-action focused. Later on, when the storyline unfolds, i started to enjoy myself more and could see what the developers had in mind. Make sure to do your research yourself about the game before making the purchase. As this does not qualify as a game, more as a story in my opinion. Recommended for: narrative & psychological horror story loving people, walking simulator fans, low-non-survival horror gamers, achievement hunters and completionists. Cheers, SultanK

March 2024

So, in my initial play-through of this game, I spent a total of around 8hrs. This is NOT the general playtime of this game (averages around 1 1/2 - 2hrs solid game play). I only spent the extra time to really see the sights, and fully experience the atmosphere of the game. Also note that I purchased this game on sale for about 8 buckaroonies. That being said, I honestly fully enjoyed this game. Everything it had to offer, from the visuals, to the story (and honestly even the game play for a coveted "Walking Sim"), had me pretty intrigued. You often think throughout the story that the main character is quite innocent and genuine, but as it unfolds, you find corruption in both the character and the park, itself. As a horror buff, however, you will find some of the tropes to be fairly predictable, but in my opinion, they still have enjoyment when they occur. The game is also quite polished in my opinion, and runs great on today's modern hardware (provided you at least have some sort of dedicated graph card), So to sum it up on that last statement, the graphics are quite wonderful. My Verdict: Give this game a go when it's at least $10 or less on sale, and enjoy your all-day pass at Atlantic Island Park. As the game is short, you probably won't want to spend more than that on your ticket admission, but "The Park" always has room for more kiddies to wander in. Let the games begin!
