    Boring gameplay
    terrible Voice acting
    Bad writing
    Not really scary for a horror game

    Although the idea is interesting, this game has been definitely, implementation wise, out of reach for the softare house.

    The graphics are abysmal.The engine is seriously underperforming, there are relatively few and very unusual graphic settings, and the game has a seriously small palette (which has 256 colors at most), which makes the look extremely flat.

    You can see all of this in the "Let's play" playthough.

    The voiceplay is amateurish.

The correct path is to sprint straight through, sneaking around just gets you caught and killed.As a horror game, it isn't great.

    As an unintentional comedy game, it has its moments. When there's dialogue it's usually accidentally hysterical due to its poor quality, the sudden jump from modern-day Norway to Skyrim is amusing, and the strange story turns can be amusing. But again, there's just so much walking that it quickly kills any genuine humor.    … Expand

    A horror adventure in the woods of Norway, which offers a slightly scary story rather than real horror.

    For a first project, Antagonist shows much promise, and I'm anxious to see what it does next.
