originally started this game on 3ds but as i kept going, the game started to drag on with constant non-plot related chase sequences that i rolled my eyes at so i just gave up and watched a playthrough instead. it’s a decent game to spend a few hours on. the art and sound direction are pretty neat for a budget game, and i quite liked how the character models were handled; they reminded me of how tsugu no hi’s characters have their eyes blurred, and i think it adds to the atmosphere of the game. it’s not really a scary game honestly, though it does a decent job at aiming for a suspenseful atmosphere.

that’s really all i can praise about creeping terror. i’m not really sure why the development team thought giving the game multiple endings would make it more valuable of an experience? if anything it actually deterred me even more from finishing the game myself since the story itself is very standard for a horror game, with several plot holes here and there. but in the end, for what creeping terror is, it’s a decent budget horror game for the 3ds eshop, though not one i’d ever like to think about again. i was actually surprised at how this game was released so late into the 3ds’s lifespan, but i understand that it’s why this game is relatively unknown, and for what it’s worth it should probably stay that way. this game gets compared a lot to the original clock tower, and horror game enthusiasts may find it more worthwhile to check that game out instead. compared to clock tower, creeping terror has less room for exploration and requires you to play the game nearly the exact same way to obtain all the endings. if you like exploring everything a game has to offer, clock tower may be a more suitable game to go with.
