    Halfway between survival horror and point'n click adventures lies this game that may not be as scary as we were expecting, but it's still fun and enjoyable.

    As much as I could criticise the game for its shortcomings, B-Movie dialogue and writing, alongside movement control issues and inconsistent/erratic/badly designed logical item puzzles with equally poor flag conditions for the branching paths and endings, the game was quite enjoyable.

    NightCry brings the old-school Clock Tower formula... and it's technology. Many people is going to struggle to deal with its outdated graphics and control, but if you manage to find its core, you'll get the original Clock Tower feeling back.

    Night Cry is a love-letter to the good old days of low-budget Japanese horror titles.

    The game refuses to modernize itself from Awkward controls, Cringy dialogue, frustrating mechanics, and poor graphics.

    Night Cry will be frustrating to modern gamers. Having to navigate the unresponsive point and click movement... or your character constantly slipping while being chased by the Scissor-Man. These may seem like every reason not to get this game, but there's a charm behind these annoying mechanics.
    It brings back memories of playing Clock Tower: Ghost Mask on my PS1, or enduring the creepy vibes of Fatal Frame.

    If you enjoy novelty train-wrecks like Deadly Premonition, you should give this game a go. Overall there's no way to give Night Cry a balanced review.. it's either you love it cause it brings back memories, or hate it cause the game lives with its flaws.

    I loved this train-wreck of a game so I'm going to give it a 9.    … Full Review »
