    Very good music, graphics, mob design is incredible but puzzles are bad and without meaning... Game didn't explain well the mechanics.. Had some framedrop and need updates.. With controller controlling is hard

    Insanely atmospheric game. if you are a fan of Lovecraftian horror you will find joy in this game.

    Un ambiente único e intrigante tal como las obras de H.P Lovecraft, múltiples referencias a sus libros anteriores y con una banda sonora decente a pesar de ser un juego indie, pero no puede considerarlo un juego de otro mundo e impactante, pero uno buena para pasar una tarde.

    The game took around 4-5 hours to complete overall and I do take my time with games. I got so tired of the trial-and-error gameplay and overall lack of guidance on where to go that I had to track down a walkthrough (which I don’t often do). Even with the negatives I feel the game is definitely worth a shot. The creature design is quite impressive and the visuals are good for horror fans. If you’re a fan of Lovecraft, you need to give it a try and judge it for yourself. It’s easy to tell that Dragonis has a passionate love for horror with the visuals and overall creature design in this game.

    The Shore is a Lovecraftian adventure that leaves a lot to be desired. The weird combination of genres and the lacklustre mechanics are disappointing. Furthermore, the story is lacking and this was unfortunate. However, it looks fantastic and this is where it excels.

    I appreciated The Shore’s Lovecraftian atmosphere and the fact that it tried to be something more than a Dear Esther’s clone. Sadly, the game is just not good enough and proves that even two hours (or less, because you can finish The Shore quicker) can be enough to bore and frustrate the player. [05/2021, p.37]
