    Don't Chat With Strangers is another retro, point-and-click adventure with much novelty and a great premise to begin with, yet it ultimately fails as a puzzle horror game.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Don't Chat With Strangers is a game, that tries to be cryptic and mysterious, yet it fails to deliver a fun experience. Don't Die From Stupid Bul- sorry, Don't Chat With Strangers is one of those games, that I pirated and I still want my money back. The storyline is cryptic and interesting. You are a man who found a random girl online and decided to chat with her. You have to solve puzzles to solve the mystery behind her. Also the atmosphere is very well developed with the creepy, 8-bit visuals are a nice addition. However the gameplay is where the game starts to fall apart. And since I am a person, who prefers gameplay over story, you can see why I gave this a low score. The puzzles in the game are not introduced to the player in any way and you will die a lot, because you didn't know what you did wrong. The cryptic atmosphere intefiers with the gameplay, in a way you don't know why you died and you have to go with a trial and error style of play. And even then you won't get far. The game is so bad at explaining what you have to do, that I don't think the game is possible without a guide. And even with a guide, you will still die a lot, because of some random thing that happened, because when you make the slightest of mistakes, if you press one wrong button, do one thing wrong and you have to replay this monstrosity again.
    Summary: Don't chat with strangers is an interesting idea, done horribly wrong. If you want to play an retro-looking puzzle game, there are many, many better options on the market. Even on sale this game is not worth a buy. I am sorry to all the poor soul that wanted to play fun game with an interesting concept, but instead wasted their money on this steaming pile of crap.    … Full Review »

    The premise is ok, but everything is so random that it doesn't make any sense at all. The player doesn't have any clue of what's going on orThe premise is ok, but everything is so random that it doesn't make any sense at all. The player doesn't have any clue of what's going on or what does he have to do. If you get to beat this game, if will be by luck, not because you have figured out what to do logically.
