Solid horror game with a great story
This game is a very pleasant surprise. It's from a small team and it shows through some rough edges. A missing texture here and there, mediocre animation quality and a couple models that need more polish. That is where the negatives end, but I will mention that the voice acting is obviously done by non-native english speakers, though this personally didn't bother me and for the most part the protagonist's english is quite good. Now. I must say this game is pretty amazing. For a horror game, there are NO JUMP SCARES. Instead this is a game that intends to build tension and keep the momentum going. There is a lot of cool world building here and the game works off of Norse mythology for its story, characters and monsters. I will not spoil the kind of monsters that you will run into in this game but they are pretty damn cool and some of the designs are really neat. The sound design is also top notch, and easily one of the best things about the game. The cycle the gameplay goes through is like this: Wonder through a new area, maybe a village or something searching for notes or collectibles that shed some extra light on what is happening or foreshadow what you might come up against next. Then you will run into something (or it will happen upon you) and you will be forced to find a way to either hide from it or make it go away forcibly. And then the cycle repeats. Basically a small respite between threats. Compared to other horror games like say, Amnesia or Outlast, This game isn't quite as scary and I don't think it's trying to be. The game seems to be more into having a surreal nature about it and building dread in the player than having you running for your life. Running for your life would actually probably kill you :p Anyway, the game is a gem for the genre and I enjoyed my time with the game certainly more than I thought I would. You won't likely be dissapointed if you enjoy these types of games.
