This game doesn't deserve a proper review yet.
The concept is there, but the gameplay is severely lacking and needs a ton of work because right now it feels like you're playing someone's test build of a video game they're currently working on.

But to be fair I need to give credit where credit is due. Making the game free was a good decision. Hopefully, the developers can take all the criticism they received from this game and make something truly wonderful in the future. Until then I simply can't recommend this game in its current state.

It was fun for a while, but devs mismanaged it which caused it to die off rather quickly. They focused on predatory microtransactions and skins instead of bug fixes and server improvements.

Then after 2 years, they made it free to play and also abandoned it in favor of a nearly identical game they just released called Home Sweet Home: Online. Now they're shutting the servers down without the game even leaving Early Access.

Extremely shady devs, I would advise you to STAY AWAY from them and their products.

I tried my hardest to be positive, but I just can't. This game is truly utter garbage. It runs poorly, crashes, and has graphical and gameplay glitches everywhere. The voice acting is also terrible and so is the story and overall gameplay.

This is honestly one of the very few games I've ever played that has no redeeming qualities.

It begins nicely and you think you are in for a smooth ride but after about 10 minutes of playing everything comes crashing down. Objectives become confusing and you find yourself mindlessly wandering around the entire map until you accidentally stumble upon the next story progress trigger or a random item. It got to the point where I just gave up and opened YouTube to see what I was supposed to do.
Little did I know that THE DEVELOPER UPLOADED FULL GAMEPLAY WALKTHROUGH OF THE ENTIRE GAME so people know what to do when they get lost! If that's not admitting the objectives in the game make no sense then I don't know what is.
I also wasn't even able to finish the game. It started crashing before the last objective and since my time is more valuable than this garbage I simply uninstalled it and watched both of the laughably terrible endings on the dev's channel.


BONUS:
The game used to cost 10€ instead of 0,79€! I wanna know what the dev was smoking to think the game is worth that much. I mean, I'm glad they significantly lowered it, but it still feels like a robbery in broad daylight.

So I tested him again after they buffed him and nah, he's still not enjoyable to play as, in my opinion. I mean he's better, of course, but his gameplay is simply not fun. Hard pass for me

~ Singularity after you disable his power for the 5th time in a row

This one really hurts.

When I saw Singularity for the first time during the PTB, it seemed like this will finally be another strong killer that's not only fun to play as but also against. Sadly, I was once again mistaken.
Now, don't get me wrong. There's no problem with the killer's power. It's good not only in a chase but also in controlling the map and generators. The problem comes from EMPs.
They're simply too overpowered right now. It's kinda mind-boggling how easily survivors can get rid of your power, especially in the middle of a chase and render all of your setup and effort pointless. I had games where I was kept from using my power for around 85% of the match because whenever I tagged someone, they had an EMP ready to get rid of it, and whenever I placed a biopod, it was already disabled when I checked on it. It's just simply not fun when you're working your ass off to get any value out of your power only to be constantly turned into a 115% killer with no power.

In conclusion, this is yet another killer that's only good against uncoordinated survivors. The second they can coordinate a bit, you're screwed.

This game doesn't even deserve a proper review yet.
Unless you have friends to play with don't even bother trying it out. Playing as a solo teen is a nightmare, same with playing as a monster.

The game is now officially shutting down. Shame, but I can't say I didn't see this coming from a mile away.

~ The Director

Where to start? Well, I enjoyed most of the game I suppose. And yet I can't recommend it. Here's why:

Prologue:

Manhunt is a stealth "horror" game full of gore, guts, and a hella lot of violence. And while all of this sounds great, sadly I found myself being frustrated rather than having fun after the first couple of hours.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly:

So let's start with the positives. The game started strong and I honestly really enjoyed the VHS aesthetic and overall plot. After all, there is not a lot of games where you play as a death row convict who is forced to be the main star of a Snuff Porn. Also, I must applaud the people who did the sound design and music. Hearing our heart was genuinely a genius move for a game like this and kept me on the edge of my seat for most of the time.
So now let's go to the bad and downright ugly stuff. This game just simply doesn't work. R* left it in an unplayable state for years and YEARS at this point, which is a shame. I, of course, don't expect games this age to work perfectly but there is simply no excuse to sell a product that needs fan-made patches to work at all. Seriously, the AI doesn't work and you can't even get past the first level without said patches. And even then the game suffers from a lot of performance issues and has a horrible lag at times. Also, the manual cassette tape saves didn't work for me so that was fun. However, the issues with this game run deep. Straight into the core design to be exact.
First of all, the game is repetitive. Yeah, for the first few hours I enjoyed stalking my prey from the shadows before brutally murdering them, but that just can't keep me interested for 10+ hours of playtime. So to spark things up a bit, the game introduces firearms. And oh boy, as soon as it does so, I felt all the fun leaving my body. But to be fair, when it was just about revolvers, pistols, and maybe shotguns it was still bearable, but as soon as rifles that can shred you in 2 seconds were introduced, I didn't even want to complete the game. And honestly, the last few levels were straight-up garbage for this exact reason in my opinion. It's a shame because otherwise I actually really liked the game.

Conclusion:

Manhunt is a game with beautiful aesthetics, a good story, and great sound design. Sadly it's dragged down not only by R* abandoning it but also by the latter part of the game being a real pain to get through. It's truly a shame.

› Goes for a dive to steal some resources from a mining submarine

› Fights off a shark, has a dream about cutting off his junk, beats the only surviving crew member to death with a crowbar, kills an unknown hellish creature

› ALL IN 10 MINUTES

› Refuses to elaborate

› Leaves

› Gets eaten by a shark

An absolute chad.

~ Pinhead

Ah ♥♥♥♥, here we go again.

Ok, this is just not fair at this point. This is the second time in a span of a year that you guys released a completely broken chapter. I'm in quite a shock honestly because I thought that maybe for once a character will be released without game-breaking issues.
Let's get to the problem, shall we? First of the killer was unplayable for the first 24h. The game just literally crashed at the end of almost every match if you played as them. Then we have the Pinhead lunge problem. It's broken for some reason and it can actually take a lot of hits from you. I feel like it has been broken since the PTB which was 3 weeks ago but I'm not quite sure. Then there are the sound issues which are the biggest pain so far. Sometimes the chase music disappears which can lead to you not being able to tell if a window will be blocked when chasing a survivor.
Then there is also a high chance that when stunned with a pallet while using your power you will go partially deaf, hearing only some sounds for a while.
Also the iconic lines "The box. You opened it, and I came!" and "You opened the box, and I came!" are missing which is a shame.

So yeah BHVR shame on you for releasing half-baked content for full price. Of course, I'm not expecting a perfect product but I atleast want it to work. Keep this up and I'm leaving for good.

Anyways, sad to see such an iconic character being brought into my favorite game only for them to end up being an unfinished half-baked mess with an underwhelming RNG-based power. I think it's quite clear that I just can't recommend this chapter. At least not now.


ps: When you start solving the Lament Configuration near a hole to a floor below there is a high chance Pinhead will spawn below you. Seriously BHVR?! So you can literally avoid the already small punishment for opening the box while the killer is not busy? Is this a joke
KINDA FIXED

pps: Pinhead is unable to break some pallets on the Game map. Not sure if it applies to other maps/killers. Hope it doesn't.
FIXED

So YouTubers/streamers were jumping out of their chairs while playing this, huh?

Prologue:

A Girl Fabric Face is a quick low budget indie horror game with an interesting concept trying its best to scare you and convince you to care for the protagonist while failing on both fronts.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly:

So let's start with the positives. The game at least tries something rather unique and ambitious for a low-budget indie horror game. It tries to tell a touching story. I'm being serious. Instead of running around collecting random items while being chased by SCARY_MONSTER1 bought from the Unity asset store this game tries a more psychological approach. There is no chasing or hiding it's just you in an empty house investigating paranormal activity with the sole goal being to collect enough evidence of said activity and get out. Or at least that's what you think. As you slowly progress through the game the spirits become more and more aggressive trying their best to... scare you. Just scare you. This brings us to the bad stuff. This game is nothing more than a walking simulator with jumpscares thrown at you left and right and they are not even that good nor scary. I completed the whole game without being scared once, ONCE. You just walk around waiting for stuff to trigger so you can continue to the next area to do the same. That's the whole game. It started so well yet at the end it devolved into this boring mess of a game. But at least the plot twist redeemed it a bit I guess. But unfortunately, the story ultimately fell short. It was not interesting and it didn't make me care about the protagonist nor the antagonist. I wanted to 100% the game achievement wise but after completing it once I knew I just didn't care enough to do so.

Conclusion:

A Girl Fabric Face tries to do so much yet it sadly fails at almost every aspect. The game is not scary and the second half is not even fun to play. Jumpscares were also present awfully a lot which ultimately made the game feel even cheaper than it already was. The only somewhat redeeming qualities were the beginning of the game, the plot twist, and the price. The only reason I won't give a thumb down is because people who are easily scared will probably find this game entertaining.

~ survivor after being hit by the Tricksters power

Where did we go so wrong?

Did we deserve this? After a month of waiting for this chapter to drop nothing improved. This killer is just straight-up bad. He's a worse version of another killer which is Huntress. I don't understand who came up with an idea for a 110% killer that has to hit survivors 8 times with his power to take away 1 health state while the hit meter starts to regress if he doesn't hit fast enough.
In other words. His power is useless 90% of the time because most of the time you get to use it you could just M1 anyway. Also his "Main Event" ultimate is F- tier at best and is even more useless than his normal power. I would argue it hurts you when you use it rather than helps you.

What bothers me the most though is the fact that all this was a problem 4 weeks back yet the devs changed nothing and I mean it. Once again the community feedback was completely ignored. Instead, the developers focused on nerfing the addons that made the killer a bit better which is laughable at this point.

This whole chapter while visually great feels like one big spit to the face of the community. I'm slowly starting to lose hope for Behaviour. As of right now, I cannot recommend this chapter.
