Betrayer

interesting mechanics, lore, atmosphere. even for a 10yr old game, its very good

I started this game thinking it wouldn't be that good. However, I did end up enjoying most of it. I didn't realize you could configure colors and saturation until about half way through the game with totally monochromatic visuals. Don't know why it defaults to that, but at least you can change it. Fighting enemies and collecting stuff is fun. Everything is laid out for you on a map. So, there's none of that wandering aimlessly bullcrap. However, you're also given a listening ability, which doesn't appear to serve much purpose since the map is so detailed. The story involves figuring out what happened to the people who died before you got there. There's a bit of mystery and development. However, the ending was abrupt and ambiguous. Awfully cliche for an indy horror game, in my opinion. Oh yeah, it was also quite buggy. Several times I couldn't even start the game. Other times, it would suddenly quit on me out of nowhere. There was also a map that would crash the game unless you lowered your video settings before traveling there. So, every single time I had to travel to that map, I'd have to quit to the main menu, change settings, load, fast travel, quit to the main menu, change settings again and finally load. Every time. That was annoying. Ultimately, it's good. Especially because I got it free. I don't know that I would have paid money for it.

Is any patch or bugfix here? When I enter 3rd map, game quits to desktop...

This is a fun game where with eerie atmosphere. The settings is a combination we don't encounter much these days. I mean, most horror games depend on darkness and jumpscares where this one accomplishes a lot with it's daylight atmosphere. Exploration is enjoyable, the story is mysterious. The downside is it started crashing a lot and it became unplayable after a while, which is a shame because I was thoroughly enjoying it! Probably gimmicks of playing an older game on newer hardware.

A short but atmospheric first-person shooter with a unique historical twist. Highly recommended if you’re looking for something original and immersive. Pros: 🟩 Effective wind and environmental effects that enhance immersion 🟩 A mysterious, engaging plot rooted in historical settings 🟩 Unique Silent Hill–style otherworld mechanic that reshapes familiar areas and enemies 🟩 Authentic period weapons and atmosphere Cons: 🔴 Enemy AI can be frustratingly basic 🔴 Some repetitive gameplay elements, though the 5–6 hour length keeps it from feeling tedious 🔴 No character voice acting, which can lessen immersion Overall, Betrayer offers a distinct experience that stands out among FPS titles, so I can recommend it without hesitation.
