Title_Amidst.png
 
Abstract :  Experience the weirdest winter night trip in an unrevealed tale of a snow forest
 
Genre : Action/Horror
 
Average Game Time : 1 Hours
 
Story
A story of Holly, a girl who is hated by townspeople. She had a memory of being murdered, but then in a glimpse of light, she woke up in a snow-covered forest. She discovered that this is not a world she used to know. People were missing, and shadows were lurking. She then met Dan, a person behind the reason why townspeople hates her. The past will have to be fixed. The price will have to be paid.

 
Heavily inspired by Alan Wake and Silent Hill:Downpour, the main elements of this game will be exploring and fighting sinister creatures using weapons you can find in a forest-surrounded town such as a hatchet, a crossbow, a fireplace tool, a hunting rifle. Other than weapons, the player may need other assisting items such as matchsticks to "light up" the way so the fight will be easier. Many items are hidden in various places. 
 
Warning : This game contains a lot of fighting element.
 
Warning 2 : The soundtrack of this game isn't original..

Tips

  • Press D to attack
  • Press A to access item menu
  • Press S to access weapon menu
  • Search a lot for items hidden within maps
  • If your medicines run out, you can go back to the clinic to pick up a free morphine.
  • If your matchsticks run out, you can go back to the house with a lit fireplace to pick up free matchsticks
  • Some key items must "be used" to gain its purposing effect.
  • First aid kits cannot be used if character's health is more than 90%, in the same way, morphine cannot be used if the health is more than 50%
  • At the beginning of the game, you should run rather than pick a lot of fight with monsters. It is better to fight with guns. But in fact, you don't have to fight  monsters at all (except bosses) because there's no money or exp to gain when defeated one.
  • If you fight a monster but you decided to run away and the monster isn't dead, the monster's health will be replenished if you go out of the map.
  • Please "press C" to cut the rope, do not "attack" it.
  • It is recommended to start from Normal Difficulty
  • After you finished the game, there's an "Extra New Game" mode which your character can sprint by holding "W" button and start the game with a chainsaw.
  • To obtain a higher ranking, you must: finish the game within 1 hour, defeat a lot of monsters, collect a lot of items, use less recovery items, save as least as you can.

I have some extreme criticisms about this game, and you can see them all by watching my Let's Play.

 

 

 

 

 

Long story short, there were so many elements that killed the fun. There were even more elements that killed any horror-ish aspect. One or two rooms seemed scary, but this just seemed like chasing a guy by doing puzzles to get through places, the game. The enemies were  not only inconsistent, but annoying. The atmosphere was okay, but not almost never scarey. The boss fights upon being unnecessary and daunting were outright boring. The high point of this game was the puzzles. They were somewhat clever except for the last code-insert puzzle.

 

The music was mostly fitting, but the boss music was unnecessary. Not to mention, a lot of this music work is copyrighted. If you're going to be unoriginal, just use the built in music or some free music from forums. At least then let's players don't have to deal with audio in their videos matching third party content which is a paid to deal with. Yeah, you had a disclaimer, but a tiny disclaimer on your huge download page after all of this other information completely separated from the download link isn't an excuse.

 

Overall, in its current state, I wouldn't recommend playing this game.

Thank you for reviewing, sir!

 

 

As from what I see from the last video you uploaded, you still haven't finished the game, sir.

 

You will have to continue to get to the end and discover the true story. And that's when the credit will roll, sir.

 

But forget it. Just forget it. I know you will go, "Nah, it's all this game's fault that's not attractive enough to get me to continue, blah blah blah". So let it all be this game's fault, sir.

 


Now, may be I should move this game into the category of "Action/Horror" 

 

It was never meant to be scary from the start because there's a lot of fighting. My mistake for putting it in adventure/horror.

 

But my game ain't a trash, sir. You've not seen a true trash. 

 


Anyway, sorry for the copyrighted musics, sir. I overlooked that fact that it will have a problem with a YouTube upload. 

 

I also want to thank you for calling this game stupid over and over, sir. That was so touching and useful.
