I play A LOT of scary games, so much that I sometimes think I become desensitized to jump scares. This game proved that wrong. It gave me one of the BEST jump scares I have had from an Indie game in so long, mostly due to running on 5 hours of sleep, but I let myself get too comfortable and *BAM* heart rate through the roof!
I had so much fun playing through Matilda, I can't wait for another part! What's gonna happen to our lil 5-year-old buddy??? 馃槶馃槶
WOW. This game. I鈥檓 going to give my honest review.
Do I think Into the Mountain is worth playing or checking out? Absolutely.
Do I think it needs some work? Of course.
While playing Into the Mountain, I found myself completely pulled into the gameplay and immersion. I loved the idea of starting the game as a 2D platformer; however, I do feel that some of the early levels were a bit too long and challenging. The game eventually shifts into a 3D experience, but at times it felt like the overall pacing leaned too heavily on the 2D platforming. With some tweaking to the opening, I think the story could flow more smoothly. It鈥檚 a wonderful concept that could be executed just a bit better.
Once the game transitions into its 3D storytelling, I found it incredibly intriguing and captivating. I really enjoyed the coming-of-age elements and the themes explored through the eyes of a 12-year-old scout. That part of the story genuinely stood out to me.
Without getting into spoilers, I also want to say that I loved the interactive elements you discover while exploring the mountain. That aspect was especially cool and added a lot to the experience.
Overall, I can鈥檛 wait to see the full release and future improvements. Huge thanks to the developer for reaching out and allowing me to play—I had a ton of fun.
And let me say it one more time:
PLAY. THIS. GAME.
p.s. still holding a grudge against the delivery truck for just THROWING my packages everywhere 馃槶lol
I need to back and get all the achievments! I loved the scenery and I loved the moral dilemma that you face.
Gotta say though, evil you cant pet the cat 馃槶 BUT bonus points for there being a cat!
this game stressed me out so dang bad. BUT it was worth it for the weird and interesting things that occurred. The fishing mechanics was difficult, but it added to the challenge And the relief I felt when I caught a fish-if u can call it that- was worth it. The very last "fish" was truly a shock! Loved the concept and atmosphere. Wish there had been a few more thing's to help tell the story, but over all, good game!!!
I played 3 scary games relating to the fear of going to sleep or the fear of something scary happening at bed time. Glass Of Water was pretty great! It spooked me pretty good for sure. Its the first game in the video I made of me playing it!
Ps. Im pretty sure the little knight sabotaged the microwave.. he cant be trusted!!!
