Juego bastante pobre donde dos negritos viven una historia de terror poco convencional… ¿o no?

La sinopsis ya te deja claro que tendremos que lidiar con una muñeca maldita, temática bastante explotada en el cine (Anabelle, Chucky, etc). El cómo nos enfrentamos a la muñeca también lo hemos visto en otros tantos juegos indies anteriores y eso suele ser el elemento que diferencia el juego del resto, hay títulos donde teníamos que escondernos, otros en los que atravesar un escenario laberíntico contra reloj y aquí… jugar al escondite…En fin…

El tipo de arte y escenarios también nos es conocido (recordemos Friend, The God of Crawling Eyes, etc), sin embargo, la repetición no tiene por qué ser algo malo. Desgraciadamente, este juego no ofrece tampoco nada diferente, a excepción del color de los personajes, ya que normalmente, los personajes de este género suelen ser chicas blancas o asiáticas. Un punto por inclusión supongo.

No tiene jumpscares ni sangre ni monstruos bizarros, debes ser rápido con las teclas del ordenador y ya. Me pareció curioso que siempre tengan los ojos cerrados…

E.T.A.: 40’ Nota: 5/10. Si no has probado nada antes te gustará y será la novedad, pero sino, nada nuevo más.

Enjoy the premise of the game so far, having issues with Night 2 where the flower painting doll keeps ending the run. There aren't any audible or visual indicators to tell the player that it will soon strike, when the painting changes the night has failed with no means of reacting. The ballerina has the audible cue of when the music gets louder, the amount of time you have left to find the doll is less, the painting has nothing like that and you can end up dying even if you've exited out of the bed by the painting.

The amount of lighting there is at night is great, not too long to be able to see far, but not none where it's frustrating rather than scary.

I liked the art style and the sound design of the game. However I found out the second night just too difficult. From my experience you basically need to rely on RNG of Mariena in order to fill the sleep meter, which can be frustating.

Overall it's an interesting game, hopefully the full version can be more balanced and dive deeper into the story.

Congratulations.
