While delivering tense gameplay and a decent concept, Game of Horror is basically a “jump scare” machine. To make matters much more difficult, the location of the keys and the path you take to locate them is randomized with each new restart! So much for trying to map that shit out. However, as you are injured after each encounter, you will now move much slower. You can be “caught” by the Eviscerator twice and live (which makes him pretty lackluster at this whole “killer” thing), but the 3rd time will end the game. I found that the first 2 options never worked for me, but blocking the door worked a large majority of the time. The Eviscerator will generally enter the next available room, so just make sure that it’s not the same room you plan on escaping to. Your only means of defense is to either duck and hide behind some furniture, turn off your torch and hope to not be seen, or to try to block the door (by mashing the B button) before he can get in. This, however, does not apply to doors.īeing a seasoned serial killer, the Eviscerator has made sure that you will find nothing to use as a weapon. To simplify the task, searched items will be marked to help prevent accidental backtracking and wasted time. Keys may be hidden in bookshelves or in desks, but may also be in plain sight, sitting on tables or even in the middle of the carpet. Presented in a 1st person perspective, the player moves from room to room, opening and closing doors (by holding the X button) as they go. All of this, mind you, while the Eviscerator continuously stalks you. Here, the player will find the final key that frees them from the house entirely. Somewhere within each wing is a key which opens access to another wing, and so on until the final wing is opened. The house is divided into wings, each separated by doors adorned with one of the four “suits” from a deck of playing cards. So, he tosses them into a large mansion filled with maze-like rooms, giving them only a flashlight (here called a “torch”) to illuminate their way. The killer, a gas mask wearing monstrosity called “The Eviscerator”, likes to have a little fun with his prey before killing it. The objective of the game is to survive against a serial killer who is constantly on your trail. whatever that actually is.ĭeveloped by NeuronVexx, Game of Horror is a survival horror game in the truest sense of the term. Luckily, I was able to find at least 2 games that would fit the context of what we do here at Horror and Sons…. Sure, the buttons actually worked and the game had an objective, but these were generally games that you couldn’t pay me to play. While there were more than a few such games to choose from, most of them looked like something that could only be called a “game” in theory. It had to be horror-themed, right? Well, of course it did! However, as this is supposed to be a horror-themed website, I couldn’t take a look at just any old game. Zombie Cow Milking, anyone? Not all of the games available were total turkeys, as a few gems, such as Cthulhu Saves the World, Amazing Princess Sarah, and Ultratron, could be found for dirt cheap, if you are diligent enough to do some digging.įor no reason other than it seemed like something different to do, I have decided to take a look at a couple of these games before they cease to be available. These shitballs included poorly developed Minecraft clones, softcore dating sims, shallow shooters, and oddities by the bucket full. Granted, most of these games were of piss poor quality and were barely worth even that low $1 price point. Games available through this Indie service generally ranged from as low as $1 to up to $5 for more elaborate or polished games. It was also announced that the XBox 360 Live Indie Games program would cease in late 2017, with the large catalog of previously released indie developed games becoming no longer available. After selling more than 85 million units (worldwide), a successor system, the Xbox One, was released on November 22, 2013. On April 20, 2016, Microsoft announced that it would end the production of new Xbox 360 hardware, with releases of new games having slowed to less than a trickle by that point. Microsoft’s XBox 360 home video game console was released in the US on November 22, 2005.
