Lorelai

If you enjoyed Downfall and The Cat Lady, you'll absolutely love Lorelai. An immersive, emotional story-driven game carried by great voice acting (especially Lorelai's voice done by Maisy Kay). Great ending of the "Devil Came Through here" Trilogy! Absolutely Recommended!!

I waited for this game and I love it as long I have been playing it, the story is brutal, beautiful art and music, great characters, but in chapter 4 it crashes an I lost my progress, so I have to start all over again. Also, I feel like it is not well optimized, it gets very slow at some points and my character starts to go on circles for no reason when I go to another area.

Horror elements mixed in with people of everyday life. Photo real pics mixed in with computer graphics. The contrasts are so stark it snaps your mind back and forth between reality and game! This guy has become my favorite weirdo! Each one of his games brings me a bit closer to some form of mania. Another bases loaded home-run hit! https://youtu.be/KH8_hbBdeFs Highlight the above by dragging the cursor across it; then hit CTRL C; open your browser; hit CTRL V; then hit Enter/Return and enjoy!

This an atmospheric, unsettling trip into a young woman's abusive home life and both the mundane and supernatural horror that arises from it. The writing and voice acting is good, the scenarios are interesting and dark. The main character is sympathetic, her "normal life" sadly thwarted by ugly circumstances which she is forced to deal with. Remember this is solidly in the horror genre, so expectations about the pleasantness of its themes should be tempered by that knowledge. Specific trigger warnings have been adequately covered by other reviewers. As for gameplay, it's essentially a playable short story that barely makes you work at all to keep things moving. If it's approached as more of a story told via game tools than a "game" so to speak, it'll be easier to appreciate what it's going for. And that isn't exactly unprecedented. Some people won't like the vision or the style, but for what it is, it's unique and well-executed. I'll be looking up the others by this studio/author.

While it is true that the gameplay aspect is lacking, I don't think it's an inherently negative thing. What, would you have liked some match 3 minigame? A tower defense section chapter 6? The focus of the game is the story, it's a good one, well written, well voice acted, and well paced (... Most of the time, as to be fair there had been some pacing aspects that made me furrow my brows. Again, for the most part the pacing is right). Unfortunately, there is zero replay value. But I would recommend you give it a shot during a sale or a giveaway.
