    Худший хоррор который я прошел на данный момент. Клишированный сюжет, плохая оптимизация, баги. Но, самым главным минусом является то, что после 30 минут игры у меня начинали болеть глаза. Не знаю как вы добились такого. 2

    Средний по качеству ужастик с ожидаемой концовкой. В целом проходится на одном дыхании, приятная графика, пёс вносит свою атмосферу в игру. Но вот, когда заходишь в дом в игре начинается бред полный и он длится до финальных титров, данный отрывок игры не залетел. В целом годно! 7/10Средний по качеству ужастик с ожидаемой концовкой.

    This game is riddled with frustration and drags on and on. This game feels like nothing but padding for time. The actual game is nothing like the advertisements. I was lucky enough to have not paid money for this, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

    A visually stunning, slightly above average horror that actually takes time to build atmosphere.
    The first half of the game is a gem [although with no replayability [more on that later]], with high tensions and fear of the unknown pervading you as you explore the woodland.
    The second half, lacking significatly to the first, throwing away tension for consecutively cheap jumpscares. And    A visually stunning, slightly above average horror that actually takes time to build atmosphere.
    The first half of the game is a gem [although with no replayability [more on that later]], with high tensions and fear of the unknown pervading you as you explore the woodland.

    The second half, lacking significatly to the first, throwing away tension for consecutively cheap jumpscares. And like a sneeze that won't go away, they just keep coming and coming and coming.

    The main antagonist could have been more of a threat throughout and they could have explored some more insidious and uncomfortable feelings with the player by doing this, however they dont explore that side of the antagonist. As a result they never felt like an actual threat.

    I encountered a few glitches, predominantly a certain entity getting stuck inside a house and being forced to despawn, but nothing game breaking.

    As a whole on the story I found it good but only because the VA was exceptional for the protag. There were so many themes crammed in at random intervals that it became hard to track what was going on or why. if it wasnt for my useless ability to remember an off-handed comments from conversations and quote lines to remind myself I'd have wondered what was going on and been completely lost.

    Replayability [as previously mentioned] was lacking as there were two outcomes ultimately and there appeared to be very little nuance to the player agency throughout the game, regardless of what you may have tried.

    As for collectables there is an overabundance and I have to wonder - why? You can pick up knick knacks as you continue your investigation and I dont believe they served a purpose at all. On top of the dog tags and pictures you have to collect in this densely pact forest it's a little concerning how much they expect you to be able to pick out.

    This is a: Complete once for fun and second for 100% kind of deal, where the second run through is supported by a walkthrough and painstakingly heading to every single location, nook and cranny.
    This is hurt even more so by the lacking player reward for agency at the end-game as it means that you'd have to play [what took me first run through] 5 hours of content to beat, just to make an alternative choice.

    To conclude;
    It's a good game with flaws and imperfections that weigh it down more than it helps. The visuals, and especially the sound design are stellar and really lend to inviting immersion. However, this is marred by clunky mechanics such alternating enemy tactics throughout the course of the game without disclosing that to the player. Excessive themes and micro narratives that derail the meta one.

    Having said that i still enjoyed myself, i understand the flaws and still had a good time.
    It achieves what your average horror game is trying to very effectively early on, but loses it's grip on that magic halfway through and stumbles over itself in the second half.    … Expand

    Juegas como Ellis, y a primera vista, no se nos da mucha información sobre el personaje. Ellis tiene su perro de compañía, Bullet, que descubrimos bastante rápidamente es un perro de policía que te dieron en un punto antes del juego, pero más allá de eso, nos queda preguntarnos quién es Ellis realmente. Tu tarea: Encontrar a Peter, un niño que está perdido en el bosque. Con su práctico perro policía, usted buscará pistas sobre el paradero del niño, con suerte conduciendo a su descubrimiento y aparentemente redimir a Ellis por una razón que aún no sabemos.

    Jugar a través de el es bastante sencillo al principio, y definitivamente se siente como un simulador de caminar. Eventualmente, te encontrarás con tu primer rompecabezas real, y aquí es donde comienza el juego real. Usted encontrará rompecabezas a lo largo del juego, y en mi opinión, estos serán las partes más difíciles del juego, muchas veces lo que debes de hacer prestar suficiente atención a tus alrededores, ya que si no estarás perdiento el tiempo corriendo en círculos y te dejará frustrado. Si prestas mucha ateción en el alrededor pronto te darás cuenta como resolver el puzzle, no es imposible resolver los puzzles si usas tu cabeza.

    Dicho todo eso, mientras jugaba a lo largo de las primeras 4 horas, me sentí intrigado, pero un poco aburrido. El elemento de terror no estaba realmente allí, ¿El juego era atmosférico? Sí, ¿Fue mucho de mi pensar que el juego se centraba en el terror? No. Para mi deleite, este "fracaso" cambia drásticamente en las últimas 3 horas del juego. El juego se vuelve extremadamente difícil de jugar en las horas finales, e incluso me atrevería a decir que era, a veces, casi insoportable. El factor psicológico se intensifica hasta los extremos en los capítulos finales, y me quedé muy sorprendido. A veces, no estaba seguro de si podía completar mi misión para terminar el juego esta noche. Honestamente se me metió tanto en la cabeza la sensación de miedo es extrema en los últimos capítulos.

    No voy a publicar ningún spoilers aquí, pero voy a decir que creo que debes de darle a este juego una oportunidad. Creeme que jugarlo hasta el final vale la pena. Aparentemente hay más de un final basado en al menos una opción en el juego, y tengo la intención de jugar de nuevo, haciendo la horrible elección de ver lo que le ocurrirá al final del juego. Pero no lo espero con ansias. La principal elección que tienes que hacer es algo que parece extremadamente inhumano si vas lo que yo consideraría que es la ruta "mala".

    Gráficos

    Los gráficos son exactamente lo que esperaría de un juego más reciente (2019) Si bien no son perfectos, estaba contento con lo que se presentó, y nunca sentí que el juego carecía en este departamento, presenta el terror graficamente de manera perfecta. Blair Witch es impresionante, no se puede negar eso. Todo el aura del bosque de Black Hills puede determinarse por la cantidad de luz y color del cielo. La transición es casi perfecta y profundiza la inmersión de los jugadores en la historia. Los enemigos son deliberadamente borrosos y a veces me preguntaba si realmente existían o eran sólo un producto de la imaginación de Ellis. Este desenfoque entre la realidad y la imaginación parece ser lo que los desarrolladores estaban apuntando y con los excelentes y hermosos gráficos, este objetivo se logró definitivamente.

    Sonido

    La actuación de voz es decente, pero encontré que el verdadero éxito destacado era la voz de las brujas en los capítulos finales. El tono psicótico era escalofriante, y sentí que me rodeaba, lentamente encándome y tomando el control de Ellis.

    *Este juego se siente como un cruce EXTREME entre Alan Wake y Outlast con el nivel de terror siendo más hacia Alan Wake. Me encantaron los dos juegos, así que este juego fue fácil como para mí.

    Mencionado todo lo anterior, este juego vale la pena para cualquier amante del terror. Me quedo con la parte final del juego es insoportablemente difícil de jugar, y gana en todos los niveles en este punto, como representan la casa abandona y los niveles dentro de la misma es perfecto y difícil de pasar. Representa el terror de una excelente manera.    … Expand

    Even though the Blair Witch movies don't directly tie into this game, if you're a fan of said movies you will probably enjoy this game.

I say that because you're going to be walking around in the woods for a good part of the game. Like a lot. Yes you will find clues our encounter spooky things while exploring, and when this happens the game is super fun, but you will spend just as much time if not more trying to figure out where to go next while you pass the same landmarks again and again. So if you're looking for something fast paced this probably isn't the game for you. I personally really enjoyed my time with it but I'm also a fan of the movies and am okay with the slow pace at times. If you're on the fence about it you can watch my video below, it's only the first 30 minutes so it will show you what you can expect without spoiling too much. But if you rather go in blind by all means don't watch it. Either way, if you're a fan of horror games give it a try. But if you're a fan of the movies, well you know. You'll probably really like it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well designed for an indie game. Lost in some places, couldn't find the objective or what the game wanted me to do. Maybe the scenario was written like that, but waiting or searching for "something that you don't" know is pretty annoying. "Am I missing something, or should I just mess around a bit more for the hint to come". If the game was giving thrills in each moment you mess around the map, that would be better for a horror game. But the moments of the monsters were defined, and in other moments there was no reason to be afraid of anything. You just had to find your way through.

    Overall, I liked the game. I will continue playing the following games if so.    … Expand

    The main character Ellis is grieving and fighting with his inner demons, because something bad has happened to him in his past. That's why he apparently has illusions. Or not? We do not know. Maybe the witch is causing the illusions after all. But I wasn't interested in the story of Ellis at all. I just didnt care. Ellis is not nice, there is nothing i want to learn about him.

The only good thing we know about him, that he loves his dog. Well he loves him if you do, if you push the buttons. What i wanted to know was, what happened to the other people who disappeared in the forest. I would have loved to have seen more monsters that could have been greedier. I got scared maybe twice. I liked the environment very much, it was rich in detail and the dog was awesome. Without the dog, I would be given three points to the game. The ending was disappointing. I hated the second part of the house. Just running in circles without any clue. In retrospective i have seen numerous movies who did the same twist on the end. It is nothing original, nothing new, nothing creative. And you took the dog away from me in the end. Without the Blair Witch logo, the background and the dog, this game would be forgotten really fast.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Довольно неплохая игра. Атмосфера порадовала. Сюжет любопытен: позволяет строить догадки о происходящем, в том числе (местами в основном) через чтение побочных записей, находимых в различных схронах при прохождении. Расстраивает, что в конце концов никто не разжевал, как было на самом деле, так что догадки остались догадками, возможно, кому-то покажется, что так даже интереснее.
    Геймплей довольно прост - не подойдёт для тех, кто хотел бы пострелять, или побить монстров в очередной игре - исключительно сюжетная бродилка с решением простых задачек.
    По уровню страха и нагнетания на 2/5, наверное.

    The game adaptation of the 20-year-old “found footage” phenomenon could have turned out very badly. But thanks to previous experiences of Bloober Team, the finished product is more than a pleasant surprise. The game has its issues, especially in graphic design or in the puzzle section, but the result is excellent. [Issue#298]
