Abandoned early access.............Developer is making other quick games for cash grab. Go look at his page, MrCiastku.

-Update for 6/2020 -Game appears abandoned. Critical features almost unanimously requested by the community like -turning off the random jump scares- still haven't been implemented. No evidence of activity on the forums since late last year. Avoid this until it's been given a proper treatment. Original review proceeds below: This is excellent.

I like this game quite a lot. It is definitely a lot more horrifying that all the super popular, over-rated FNAF games and this game gives you quite a lot of replayability as well as you try and collect "experience points" that can be used to buy different and better equipment to use to help you gather more and more evidence of paranormal activity in the forest area where you travel to. You can watch my "First Play …

First off left me say I love horror games. I've played quite a few in my life and love them all. Now let me say that this is hands down the only one that has literally made me jump and yell. My smartwatch says that my heartrate goes up when I play this. The sudden noises and hearing things chase you is unnerving. I can't belive this is early access because it is already crazy to play! I can't even imagine what they …

Well, i wasn't expecting the feelings that i got from an indie game like this! It is propably the most up to date Ouija simulator i have ever played! With some more updates on the animations and the gameplay it is going to be a proper Horror game for sure! If you like survival indie horror games, you should definitely try this one^^ * DO NOT EXPECT A STORYLINE... THIS WILL GIVE YOU MANY MANY JUMP SCARES!

neutral · AI labelView post →Review copy provided by developer via Curator Connect Why aren’t there more ghost hunting games? It’s been a popular profession since at least the Ghostbusters, and the gaming world has always been quick to add weapons and combat to things that don’t need them. But no, typically ghosts in indie horror games are content to run past open doorways, break vases, and generally be ♥♥♥♥♥ until they get to kill you in the ending cutscene. Not so in Apparition, though, where you’ll be combing the woods…

The exploration aspect is bad, the map is too short. The graphics are outdated. The gameplay is redundant and unfulfilling, with the points you get, you can unlock new equipment but why not give it to the player right away since space in your backpack is limited and you need to combine the items anyway to beat your previous best…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Apparition is a game where you're trying to gain score points by doing a ghost investigation. I didn't play very long into this game as I couldn't get into it. There was a lot of issues I encountered that made the game less than enjoyable. I'll list them below. I'm not a fan and I wouldn't recommend it. It was worth a shot. It seems to have potential, but maybe I wasn't understanding the mechanics of the game to fully enjoy it. PROS: * Good atmosphere * Good SFX * Decent graphics CONS: * No…

neutral · AI labelView post →This game immitates the immersion of the feeling of something watching you out in the woods and leaving you cautious and freaked out. It's like real life when you are afraid to turn around and preysomething isn't behind you. This isn't some psychological BS, it's actual straight up supernatural horror/eerie atmostphere. Other than the atmosphere, I decided to write a review for once to point out a horror game that actually has a way to be replayable and fun. (SPOILERS) The unique idea of…

So much random things happens and its not jump scares. It's like ghosts. I.. I can't explain it. Just play it.

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm not really sure if Apparition is an asset flip. Some elements of this game certainly make it seem like the developer put some effort into assembling some kind of original here. On the other hand, a lot of the game assets don't seem like they were created by the developer, but they haven't credited any asset creators for supplying assets, which might be a case of plagiarism. There's no evidence, so we need to give the benefit of the doubt... regardless, asset flip or not, the quality here…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have got to give this game a positive review, because it is so freaking scary! I also love the concept, it's an RPG/roguelike combined with an FPS scare fest. The problem is that the game throws too much at you all at once. there is no strategy allowed if i don't even know what i'm going up against. I think each run should be an investigation into one type of monster (that you determine via spirit board). as it is now its just too difficult, perhaps a random mode (as it is now) could unlock…

It's an adventure Pinball game where you do the objectives on the current table (screen) and then shoot the ball through the top of the level to ascend the spire until you finally reach the top. Great game, would recommend.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really cool Idea with a lot of potential. It feels like a great Gamejam title that's supposed to be expanded on. Only it has not been. It has very clearly been dropped by the dev and is in no way worth it, even at a 75% discount. Extremely disappointing. I would be more lenient if it was like 1€, but 10€ is absolutely insulting.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely not worth the price of admission, glad I paid less than $2. It's a shame as the developer could have done so much more with this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →'Important Graphics Fix info below!!!' Apparition is a good game, its still in early access which means they're hopefully still working on the game so it isn't a fully finished product but can still be finished and fully enjoyed. The devs mentioned that early access will be about 9 months but its been released since Oct 2018 which is odd so that's to question lol. From the developer's history, I honestly don't believe the they'll update or add any new content, let alone take the game out of…
