In my opinion, this was a huge step up from Man of Medan. I enjoyed the characters more, and the acting was much better.

Beautiful graphics don't make up for lackluster gameplay and story

It tried so hard and accomplished so little

Such a good game! I wish I could have played it through multiple times, but the janitors really are the bane of my existence. So much so that I took a star off for them. BUT the students in this school are still using Windows Me... so at least I'm not them.

Years later and all I can think about is the pterodactyl monsters

So much of this game was in made in poor taste. It's a beautiful game that tries its best to enrapture you, but I couldn't get over the parallels to racism in America. Which was probably the point, but David Cage really stepped out of line with the liberties he took with this game. As a non-American white man it was not his place to make these allegories. I get he maybe meant well, but yikes.

A solid pixel horror game. I was surprised at its length considering other games like it are usually less than 5 hours. I really loved the direction it took at the end! I wasn't a huge fan of the biblical and religious themes, but I still loved it! Can't wait to play it again on my PC. :)

Me: Mom, can we get Fatal Frame?
Mom: We already have Fatal Frame at home!
The Fatal Frame at home:

the game is very short, but it packs a punch. it's obviously a very personal project and was made with the intention to share a very personal story. the art is gorgeous and i loved the choice in background music.

obviously the game isn't perfect. since it was so short, it felt rushed and shallow. the characters are two dimensional and you don't really get to feel a lot for them. the two you see the most (player character and May) feel like they're supposed to be mirrors. you're supposed to be able to see yourself in one of them, but it's hard when we don't get to know them.

since when you're playing with friends you all share a collective son, i like to pretend each player character is a media dad looking for their son/child. so far we have: marlin (finding nemo), ethan mars (heavy rain), harry mason (silent hill), and bryan mills (taken).

quite the cast of characters

A very short game, but it has a lot of story if you do the other endings. The atmosphere is great!

A short game with an interesting gameplay and a good story!

The first play through is wonderful! If you go to play again, it can get very repetitive very quickly. That being said, I've still played it through multiple times lol.
