    In episodic video games, which are becoming more and more popular, the first episode is essential and is the biggest chance for the developers to convince players to continue playing their future episodes. Unfortunately for Song of Horror, this first and very important step goes horribly wrong as it suffers from tons of issues in almost every department. Right now, there is absolutely no reason for anyone who played it to go on and purchase the second episode, unless the developers really up their game.

    Decent story and atmosphere but they do a terrible job explaining how to play the mini games which can make for a very frustrating experience.Decent story and atmosphere but they do a terrible job explaining how to play the mini games which can make for a very frustrating experience. Especially since a mistake in the minigame leads to instadeath. Could be very good but definitely needs polish and the fixed camera feels very dated and is quite annoying to control. Full Review »

    For lovers of first silent hill and resident evil but with new interesting mechanics amd more dynamic surround overtime. I feel the same fear as i felt in my childhood after 20 minutes of gameplay. Imagination is working and I fear the unknown presence that can wait behind every door. I'm in love with this game. Thank you so much, developers. I wish first silent hill will be recreated some day with some of these new and interesting mechanics

    Good graphics, story and music, creepy atmosphere.
    More scary than the Resident Evil.
    Best Alone in the Dark type game.
