A dull, frustrating exercise in K-Horror
A Korean student finds himself in a nightmare version of his school, where his actions will have consequences on the real world. Sounds like a cool idea, BUT... For a game that boasts about providing a "glimpse into the life of Korea's overworked high school students", the writing is disappointingly subpar, with bland collectable notes and dialogues oozing cringy colloquialisms. All the characters are cardboard cutouts: the unpopular kid (i.e.: you), the nerd, the bully, the cool girl, the hot teacher. They‘re all so one-dimensional I wonder why they weren‘t just named after their respective stereotypes. It looks and plays like a browser game. Animations are poor. You'll make ample use of your map, since all the areas look nearly identical. The minimalist soundscape consists of the same 4-5 tracks being stuck in an endless loop. Controls are fairly unintuitive and you can‘t rebind them. Gameplay elements are introduced via diagram drawings that are so hard to decipher they put the average IKEA assembly instructions to shame. Worst of all: the supposed horror elements. The chase scenes aren‘t scary or startling, they're just lame distractions that do little but hinder your progress. Same goes for the deadly traps strewn about everywhere, with the devs taking delight in hiding those behind tables or other objects. You won't even know what hit you until it's too late. Save points are scarce. Even if you‘re willing to take the frustration, you‘ll have nothing to look forward to but an abrupt, unsatisfying ending. There is no climax to the story whatsoever, it feels like being punished for making a terrible mistake during the game. Turns out, there are a number of endings, but those are just different flavors of the same thing and the one true ending might just be the worst one of all. What are we left with? A game that evokes little sense of dread or mystery and tries to make up for the lack of proper scares with trial&error gameplay of the most excruciating kind.
