Good unsettling game

The game got a lot of attention for being "BANNED ON STEAM" and pulled from epic. While some of the scenes in the game are gruesome, the overall game isn't bad, if you can survive a sitting of buffalo bill from Silence of the Lambs. I am pretty sure you can survive this. The story was alright, although I think it took some "silly" turns in it that kinda back stepped from the serious tone of the game, but that is another reason why it was so strange to see this game pulled. There are definitely scenes that would make any persons skin crawl, with implied actions that happened, or the one time you actually do something physical. All in all this game is good, I think its a decent little indie game and if you are looking for a spook or some semi uncomfortable themes. Its a recommend Support the Dev, Steam and Epic are big babies

Not Worth the Controversy

This game really, really isn't as deep as it thinks it is. The attempts to censor it were based in a prudish and inherently anti-art way of approaching any media that's strange and offputting, and I think GOG did the right thing by giving this game a platform. That said, this game is not the crown jewel of artistic expression people are making it out to be. Mechanically, it feels like something thrown together in Unity in a matter of minutes; the game simply doesn't look, sound, or feel good to play, and not in a way that feels intentional. It feels more like a demo than a video game, and the same can be said of the game's message. Its core message - that authoritarianism is bad - is about as surface-level, uninspired, and lacking in any new or unique exploration of the themes it presents as a middle school theatre production. Once you break through the initial bizarreness of the story's presentation, everything is about as clear-cut, obvious, and predictable as is humanly possible. No new ground was tread here; everything this game has to say has been said before, and said better. Again: weird and offputting art is a necessity. The world needs artists willing to create discomfort in its audiences. But the "discomfort" (it can really only barely be called that, honestly; there are darker games made in RPGMaker 20 years ago than this game tries to be) that gave this game its short stint in the spotlight isn't held up by the story or message. It's shallow. The game, Horses, does nothing but beat a dead one badly.

This is Art

What a wonderful game! This game is the reason I created an account on GOG, and I really am not disappointed at all. This is what psychological horror should be, no jumpscares, no chases, just pure messing with the mind.

Yes, it is strange.

The game came from the country of Pasolini. Weird and interesting. It's a short and immersive experience but clearly not for everyone. Give it a chance, just 2 hours and not much money.

Just plain awful

Look. The game shouldn't have been removed from sale on the other storefronts. There is nothing in this game that is worse than what shows up on the Steam best sellers lists on a daily basis. This doesn't even touch the edginess of those repugnant Sex With You-Know-Who games (kinda funny that I have to censor that to get this review posted, huh?) that is a series now. Horses tries to use the offensive and off-putting imagery to say something and I will never say a game shouldn't attempt to say something. However, Horses is an incompetent, mess of a game with ideas that don't mesh together. The first thing you'll notice is that the game is presented in a silent film motif. I have seen nearly 200 silent films in the last 5 years and Horses does not understand how silent film works. Silent films were active, they were full of motion and pantomime. Body language and facial expressions was used to tell the stories as much as the intertitles, the cards that display dialog between the filmed scenes. F.W Murnau, one of the most celebrated directors of the Weimar German industry, which may have been making the best films in the world in the 1920s, made films like The Last Laugh and Tabu: A Story of the South Seas with as minimal text as possible. Horses doesn't understand this method of storytelling. Horses has every character stand still or slowly move with boring animation. The text is in title card after title card and so you know someone is talking, there is a close-up of the speakers mouth because it doesn't trust you to figure this out. The developers aren't required to be interested in the medium of silent film to use the aesthetic but why use it if you're not going to even bother to see how it was used originally? Why the choice at all? I see no purpose to this. I'll admit to liking some of the cuts to the live-action footage. Something about the cut to the soup when you feed the dog is the right kind of unsettling that the game should've aimed for. Instead, we get mostly the usual clichés we see in these kinds of horror games. Oh no, you're walking down the field doing a mundane task but a shocking sound plays and suddenly there's a person hanging from a tree! Oh no! How scary! I wonder if the man running the farm is a bad man! He's shot in shadowy lighting! Oh wow! Deep! If you've seen the original season of Clone High, there is an episode in which a teenage Joan of Arc, a gothy teenage art school clone version, submits a pretentious art film to a film festival. The show presents it as a parody of the usual art film you see mocked in other places. That's what Horses reminds me of. It clearly want to say something and they made an attempt but it comes off as parody. There is nothing here that you haven't seen before. It's poorly thought out, it's poorly implemented, and it's incredibly juvenile. I wanted to give it a chance and was hoping it was going to be something worthwhile, especially after the controversy but nope. It's what a dumb person thinks a smart person's art horror game would be. I'm not offended by the content of the game. I'm offended that they thought this would be a worthwhile game to release. It's bad, bad, bad. If the controversy about it being removed from sale on other storefronts wouldn't have happened, no one would've bothered with it. I hate tearing this game apart but dear god, is it just plain stupid. I played Wheels of Aurelia on my Vita years ago and thought that was okay. Not great, but a few good moments. Somehow, the studio regressed to... this. They want to be Pier Paolo Pasolini but they've released something that even Uwe Boll would consider beneath him. Don't fall for it like I did.
