Update Two Hundred and Seventy: 7 January 2019

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

BLAEO user Trent wasn’t kidding - this game is short, but it’s quite good for what it is! It’s a tiny point n click adventure game, and it actually worked at being very unsettling and scary! I was spooked! I’m glad I didn’t play it while I was alone in the house.

You play a young man travelling to visit his father in a nursing home when an accident forces you off the road right before a snowstorm. Your car is totaled and cell phones might not have been invented yet, so you need to find a way to call for help. The little museum you pull up next to seems deserted… or, perhaps, less so than you first thought.

It’s an understated, creeping, slowly building kind of scary, which is the kind I appreciate. A little jumpy-scarey but not aggravatingly so. The puzzles aren’t too difficult, and you can light a cigarette as a ‘hint’ system if you get stuck. If you can pick it up and want to get a little spooked, I’d encourage you to. I’m glad I won this game.

Next up: My last SG win to play!

See you soon!
