Local Shows With Small Crowds=Better Time








Lone Survivor Review


I can safely say this is one of the greatest horror games I have ever had the pleasure of playing. Don’t let the pixelated graphics fool you this game will pull you straight to hell kicking and screaming, yet you will beg for more. This game just oozes style, every moment in this game is per pleasure. Well enough flapping about it let me get to the points.
                  The story plays out like David lynch’s love child, with its own blend of unique story. You play as an unnamed man living in a rundown apartment after the apocalypse has infected an unknown part of the city or world. So the premise is that you need to escape from the city.  Basic for a horror game but that is just the thinly veiled layer that rest on top of a game that goes way deeper.
                Frist you need to eat to gather your strength for the game so food lying around the world offers different combinations to make different food and to help you survive. Next is the sleeping system you sleep to save the game, but you can take different pills you get that have different effects on your dream s. That is the main thing as you play the game you start to question your sanity is any of this happening  what do the dreams mean the game just loves to hook you with these questions, though you will not be disappointed by the end.
                It is a true survival horror game so combat is what you would expect. You have a gun with limited ammo, the combat is tense in the small tight corridors, so you need to run and hide there are walls that you can press against so you can hide from the horrors that roam around.
                There are problems in the game but they are overshadowed by the positive aspect of this game if you are a true horror fan this is a must play.



                                     
The Game loves to add these surreal moments.

Well that party went down hill fast.

Gaming Poem


The puppeteer or the bastion

Waking up to a strange voice telling me that I am awake/going outside to see the floating masses that has become of my world/
Forward always forward on to the blocks that just appeared in front of man/Man tells me that my friend is in the road and
a wild hammer appearing out of thin air/I grab the hammer continuing this awkward forward moving journey as the invisible man
tells me what I am doing/Forward motion one foot in front of the other when I see shapes/Could this be hope will I find the answers
I seek/No false hope the devil whispers to me it is just the dead sprit of someone who used to be a human/
I raise my old friend high and smash it on the oddly shaped spirits head it staggers bringing its sword up into my gut/I fall
into the random floating blocks below me It stands above me waiting to deliver the final blow the voice says no this is not how
it went/Waking up to a Strange voice

Skinwalker Game Review


               So to start I have decided to start playing some freeware horror games. Not the slender clones that have been coming out for years but the Rpg Maker Kind. I love the indie horror scene it seems to have the right idea that the AAA games seem to have lost over the years.  Does this one scratch the horror spot so many other games have failed itch?
            First the sound and presentation of the game is great. There is no music just the background noise of the different scenes so when something happens such as trampling of the underbrush and the laughter of a demented shadow it hits closer making it an all-around creepier experience. No music makes you drawn into the story just that much more.
            Game play well there really isn't much you walk around every once in a while and make a choice for the different endings. So all around there really isn't much it plays like one of those choose your own adventure books they used to make. Basically you are 4 collage kids doing collage things in the woods, but when weird noises and things start appearing you kinda know what is coming. So like every American horror story for the past 40 years.
So the choice is to be a dick or help your friend up
                                                       hard choice well equal rights I guess.

                                                 
                           

                                    The art style is what you would except from a Rpg maker game so yeah but for every overhead shoot there are some that show the monster in a first person view so that is a uncommon choice that puts you into the story more.
So all around if you want a short horror story not so much a game really just download Skinwalker it is Free so what will it hurt.

"Please, please, you have to get me out of here… You don't understand. There was something in the woods and I think it's in here with us now." Mia from Evil Dead said it best.
