Description
This game has a really cool premise and I was excited to play it. The psychological horror subgenre works by getting under the audience's skin, and what better way to do that than having them straight-up tell you what scares them?
Except that's not what this game does at all. The approach it takes instead could be summed up more accurately as 'OOH I'M INSIDE YOUR HOUSE! SPOOKY!! I DON'T LIKE YOU. ARE YOU SCARED OF ME YET?'. It's cheap and juvenile, and it ruins the suspension of disbelief because I know the game can't get inside my house and kill me. When your premise, a personality test, is implicitly grounded in reality, you can't present a completely unrealistic threat and expect it to work. There's a lot of other silly stuff too, like repetitive stock audio of a man screaming, and some really cheesy writing that reminds me of stuff I made in early high school. Even at its best, the writing was just.. not spectacular. It felt like it could have come from any number of dime-a-dozen horror games that try to address the audience.
