positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After seeing so many positive English reviews I decided to get the game. Despite what the other reviews lead you to believe, the game is completely dead. There are no English servers available to join. You can join the Chinese server, however, if you can't speak the language you cannot interact at all during the discussions, which makes up the majority of the game. Moral of the story, save your money
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game seems like it could be very fun, but there needs to be major changes with the global server, the English, and they need to have a tutorial or instructions for first time players. I had absolutely no idea what to do and I was just thrown into a game. I don't know any of the controls since almost everything is in Chinese despite me playing on the English setting.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There are no players on the english servers and if you play on the chinese one you will undoubtely be voted out first unless you can speak chinese and understand the Chinese VC's. The game had potential but as a english speaker it is impossible to play and have the full on experince. Also the tasks are very simple so it gets boring quickly, all you do is press your mouse and wait for a timer to fill up. Doesnt make for very exciting gameplay. 50% of the time is spent in the discussion lobby so…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →??? The game is dead??? If u're global players like me don't even look at this game or click in!!! NOTE:ONLY FOR CHINA PLAYER!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game doesn't work on English servers.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is similar to among us and it's fun but the problem with this game lot of people playing it in china server . in global server there is no one playing it .
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →no one speak English! its only 1 community game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolute banger game, can only play on chinese servers but the graphics, if your not counting the pixels it aint 4k. You want to play on hight for the maximum fps possible with horror open to maximise your potential as a killer. If your not kicked off round 1 for being english then the game isnt being played correctly.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cant really recommend, especially if u play overseas, the latency is observable. Overall just feels like its lack of content. It's amongus in horror's skin, but I really dont dig into this type of horror. Not scary, not even the jump scares, the environment is dark and maybe gory, but not scary.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fear Surrounds cons: requires 10 or more people to start a match. no AI bots. online is dead. player base is near non-existent. dead game. sucks. Free Weekend 12-9-2021 to 12-13-2021
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →hope they make this more user-friendly. English translation not so clear.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Chinese dev "Manthasasa" has turned off western servers and banned every English speaker in the Discord. Thankfully I got this key for free. Don't buy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm trying to start a North American colony on it with English speakers. The game has a lot of Chinese speaking lobbies. If you don't speak Chinese, this can be problematic. The game itself is like a 3D version of werewolves combined with Among Us. You are either a normal citizen that has to complete various tasks, like repair toilets, or you have to secretly kill the citizens before they catch you. I can understand some Mandarin so it was interesting listening to people in the Chinese lobbies…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For some reason it opens only in Chinese and i don't even have a chance to change it into English
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dead game , Dead servers ... NOT RECOMANDED AT ALL.. " waste of money "
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a bit like Among Us, or Deceit. buggy but got potential.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My friend who i play CS:GO with said if i post a review on this game and it gets 200 likes and 200 awards that he will buy me a RTX 3060 and 2 kilos of canned ham. So i'm just gonna leave this here. Help a brotha
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →UI is in Chinese, English speakers get voted out. Instant refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is pure trash, you can't even change the language :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →(THERE IS NO ENGLISH) I tried everything, but I just couldn’t figure it out. No matter how many times I searched, no matter how hard I tried, the way forward kept slipping through my fingers. It’s not that I didn’t want to understand — I just couldn’t. And the worst part? I didn’t even know how to explain what I was feeling, not even in English. All I had was frustration, silence, and this helpless feeling that I was stuck in the middle of nowhere — alone, and lost. (THERE IS NO ENGLISH)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game freezes when you choose global servers
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →English... please? I couldn't find a single match for English-speaking and judging by other reviews, it seems that the European servers are dead, so you simply won’t be able to play this game without a bunch of friends
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Your voice is unclear" "Your voice is too loud" best comeback ever (giggles)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cant search with friends unless you have a lobby of 8. Servers are empty. Rip off
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this product has a lot of bugs and unfair mechanics but the thing is that it is gunly a good game like among us 3d, overall a fantastic game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can't find how to change to English. And yes, I tried google, tried speaking to other players. Otherwise, it kind of gives an "among us" type vibe.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game has opened chinese. I couldn't find even english in settings. Server is dead and their discord is dead too. There is no guide about settings. You can choose maximum resolution that is 1707*600 like that. How can you support like this situation? They are doing new game on mobile right now so there is no uptade. I don't know how they gave positive reviews with english comments :) I'm refunding now.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No player base need friends also there discord smells funny.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →How to change language to English?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What happened to the game? the trailer video have english but why the heck i can't change the game to english language?????
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cant even change to English, broken system
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In Steam Info of the game the devs in Language support they have english. In game all is in Chinese or Japanese. :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I recently embarked on this horrifying adventure, but not in the way you might think. Picture this: I eagerly downloaded this "horror game", only to be greeted by a menu entirely in Chinese. The horror was real, but it had nothing to do with the game's content. Undeterred, I armed myself with Google Lens, hoping it would be my linguistic savior. I aimed my phone at the screen, hoping for some witty translations. What I got, however, was a comedy show. The translation was so chaotic that I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is dead, can't find anyone to play with. Not recommended unless you have 9 friends to play with, I have spent hours trying to join a lobby but there is absolutely no one online, I have had the game for weeks but I cant even play a single game on it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game is not in english
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Chinese/Mandarin Only! It took forever to find a game and they kicked me out because I'm a lowly english speaker :( time to resub to duolingo
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not really a bad game, but there's no English players playing this along with it having copyright music that you got to mute
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Clicked the start button, and nothing happens. 10/10 rain noise.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i spoke chinese for 3 mins
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mic has problems all the time. No way to test the mic before the games. Game experience is terrible. I wish I could get refund. Don't buy. Waste money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No English language in game. You can't switch it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →From what I can tell, this game has no English support. It is not something I would recommend trying. The game itself looked fun and promising, but considering I can't even read what they are telling me, I'm steering clear of it and highly suggest to others who aren't bilingual to do the same.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Only having 1 kind of language is going to kill the game quickly. Not being able to join a game cause everyone is Asian and don't won't to join your server or allow you to join theirs because you speak English is going to kill the game quickly. You want the game to survive, make a server for English speakers. It was a instant uninstall for me. I'll comeback to it if there's a server for us English speakers in the future.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you do not speak chinese or whatever this is, DO NOT DOWNLOAD! Does not support english language!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →wtf i cant change the language its china ???!!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Slow matchmaking, full of Mandarin.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Scary game, especially if you like horror movies The Ring! or Grudge
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a good attempt for a game, but... It's dead. The english servers are non existant, leaving only chinese ones. And seeing as speech makes up roughly 70% of the game, you're 1, not gonna enjoy it, 2, not going to be in any game for long. It's sad, and I kinda hope the makers remove the option for anybody who isn't chinese to play. Because seriously, if you can't find people of your own language, it shouldn't be available. Saves the hassle. Or put up a warning, at least. If you want a game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Excellent game found myself a chinese girlfriend in the first meeting who become my wife in the second and i killed her before the third.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is in Chinese/Japanese only. Game menu is broken, cannot select/change menu options, as no dropdown appears. Currently useless. Please fix or remove.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →9/11/22 no servers only for mandarin peeps friend couldnt hop on the game :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have to say that this game is a bit boring, a lot of them hang up and bleed to death as soon as I enter it. At the moment, it gives me the same feeling as Werewolf, but it's not as happy as the Werewolf and friends playing face to face. A lot of strangers. I went in and played one or two rounds. I met a werewolf teammate. I told him that he completely ignored him. He said that he was angry with his teammates in the last round. I had to play this round by myself, and then directly face the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game looks good but I don't understand chinese :(
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →you finally realize you're not worth to be bought
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Straight DUUDUU!!!!!!!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this game when it had a free weekend and loved it so much I bought it. The only downfall is that the servers are dead for the US. BUT, this game is like a spooky version of First Class Trouble, which I really enjoyed. It could use a little polishing up, but other then that, it was fun. Would really love to see this game gain traction.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →learn how to make game pls and thank you
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Games settings don't respond at all. Can't change the language. Whenever I start the game everything is changed to English and can't be changed back to English as the option stucks everytime.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So bad. Even my load comes out faster ;)
