    While it’s by no means perfect, Tattletail goes beyond mere jump-scares and delivers an experience that is genuinely and persistently frightening.

    So this is what we've come to? Every indie horror game from now on has to get compared to Five Nights At Freddy's?

    News flash: jump scares    So this is what we've come to? Every indie horror game from now on has to get compared to Five Nights At Freddy's?

    News flash: jump scares don't make everything an FNAF clone ..... jump scares weren't invented in 2014... they've been a staple of horror since horror has existed. Furthermore, Tattletail has in no way resembles its game mechanic or narrative. The only thing the two games have in common is that they're horror games, and maybe the "cute is scary" factor. So if you're just going to compare every indie horror game to FNAF, you're gonna have a bad time. It's like watching Jaws and comparing it to The Exorcist.

    Like with most atmospheric games, there has to be a minimum of buy-in from the player here. If you just sit back and say "okay, Tattletail, BLOW MY MIND," you're already doing it wrong. But if you just get into the mood it sets and judge it on its own merits, you will find it's a wonderfully creepy little piece of first-person gaming with some pretty fresh concepts.

    Or you can go on judging this game based on a standard it has nothing to do with, end up disappointed, and have nobody to blame but yourself. Your choice.    … Full Review »

    Other people say it copied fnaf because it has jumpscares in it. I say it's inspiration. Whatever it is, the game overall is good. There'sOther people say it copied fnaf because it has jumpscares in it. I say it's inspiration. Whatever it is, the game overall is good. There's charm. Gameplay with obvious flaws, but it is still fun. The difficulty curve is perfect. The ending wasn't too satisfying, though.

    For five bucks, I think it's worth a try.    … Full Review »

    A painfully average game, just another "ooo, look at me so scared" game for let's players.
