I don't think there's one redeeming quality for this game. Just Ignore Them is a point-and-click puzzle game with sloppy writing, nonsensical dialog and puzzles, and a lot of bugs to top it off. The pixel graphics are cute but lack impact in gore situations. Without going into further details, if you are into this type of game, there are way better options out there to spend your time and money on.

After 100% completion I can say 'Just Ignore Them' is not a good experience. At its best it was boring but in having to replay the game for all achievements do you fully understand its shortcomings and what a miserable slog it is. As far as it is a point and click game, a lot of the 'solutions' were entirely nonsensical. While expected to some extent for the genre, there were times even I had to open a walkthrough …

Title: A Creepy Little Story Worth Your Time, But Don’t Expect Miracles From the moment you start Just Ignore Them, it’s clear that this isn’t your typical horror game. You play as an 8-year-old kid trapped in his own home with monsters, and the game leans heavily into atmosphere and story rather than flashy gameplay. The pixel art visuals are simple but effective, evoking a sense of loneliness and unease that fits …

I didn't like the game at first because it's old and not very well programmed, which could be confusing at times; yet, I still finished the game and got the bad ending. Even though I didn't like it at first, it left me wanting more because of its charm, and I will absolutely try to get the good ending and finish the game after writing this review . I did play the game in the old version and not the remastered one, …

This game is fun and interesting but some things about it are a little frustrating. I just want to provide some constructive feedback since I do liek the game and got it for free: - There is no way to pause dialogue and leave the game, you have to basically finish the cutscene. If not, you have to manually close the game and trying to do this nearly crashed my pc lol - The game is riddled with spelling mistakes and …

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WARNING: if you play the remake version of the game, achievements will NOT unlock on Steam. For the reason mentioned above, I had to replay the original game (yes, I need my dopamine shots okay?). Would've loved exploring other routes instead but I'll stick with my bad ending lol. Otherwise very good game. Fell down the toilet and died. 10/10, would do it again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It may look like a horror game at the first glance, but I find it more of a narrative-driven game after completing it. Controls are simply point and click, but there are choices and consequences irreversible. At times you need to combine items in the inventory, which is not mentioned anywhere in game. The story is fine overall, but you will need to explore all possible options to get the full picture. Achievements are not so easy for this short game. There are many possible branches…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just Ignore Them is an average and funny horror game to kill time. There are many things for players to explore. Many of them are useless and irrelevant to the story. If you want a serious story and a serious strategy, Just Ignore Them! :)

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The story is extremely confusing and does a poor job of explaining itself. Characters try to explain things like where the monsters came from or what happened to Mark’s parents, but later on that information gets contradicted or overlapped in a way that just makes everything messier. At the end of chapter 1, Mary hangs herself after you tell her your story, for no reason at all, and the game never bothers to explain why. On top of that, there are grammar mistakes throughout, and the characters…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finished Just Ignore Them. A decent little indie horror point & click adventure. I liked the characters even though my time with them was pretty short due to the game being only around 2 hours long. Story has some neat little twists but gets a bit messy near the end tho.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For the first section of gameplay, I thought this game is gonna be like Corpse Party. But the next section is just become a normal "point click" adventure game, no real threat and also the story is so weird. Not recommended to buy, I play this game just for completionist thing
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's worse out there, but this is pretty bad I'm kind of shocked to see the reviews are anything other than mixed, the game is a buggy mess as many other reviews have pointed out, I found playing the game in windowed mode reduced most the bugs for me, but that shouldn't be a requirement for any game in the modern day. This comes with the 2018 remake, and the fun thing is, the remake has no achievements, and this is at no point conveyed to you, so you could theoretically go through the…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just Ignore Them is a mediocre horror game. As one reviewer put it, this very much feels like "Baby's First Horror Game". While the game starts off strong, it near-instantly nosedives into a loose collection of uninteresting characters with the most cliche motivations. The only good thing is the puzzles are more-or-less logical, though some things are very specific in how they have to be done, otherwise you'll have to reload from another save (though thankfully this never happened for…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Progressing in this game is tedious. Its just guessing game what dev expected you to click and it doesnt feel rewarding. Also not fixing resolution settings and buggy dialoges after 8 years doesnt help either.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if someone suggests you play ffxiv JUST IGNORE THEM; they will gaslight you and lie to you to get new players. they are extremely friendly to new players because retention near impossible when the game is a monthly subscription and forces you to do several hundred hours of story to get to content
neutral · AI labelView post →somewhat interesting but poorly made premise with annoying level design that leads to too much guesswork or none at all. there are moments where there is no indicator of what you're supposed to do, and moments where it's insanely obvious if you go anywhere but the direction that is oddly free of any dangers you're gonna die, really boring. wait this is a paid game what when did I get this?? don't buy it, there's nothing here!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I absolutely loved it! The game’s pixel 2D style immediately gave me that nostalgic Game Boy / retro vibe, and it really works with the atmosphere. The lore is incredibly deep and interesting, even after completing the game 100%, I’m still thinking about the story and the shadows. The Tapes menu adds extra layers of mystery, and the way the game blurs the line between psychological and supernatural horror is amazing. There’s a real sense that the world is bigger than what you see. The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thank god I got this when it was free. It definitely felt like an entry-level game developed by some kid that got rpg maker for the first time. The puzzles were non-sensical and the game felt obnoxiously buggy at times, not to mention how awful the dialog felt. I can only hope the developer improves with their next game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →just ignore them this game is good and bit funny retro type, nice character horror type story easy run not much heavy not lags or glitch. must play and enjoy your time with it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →might play the free steam indie horror game Just Ignore Them tomorrow...
neutral · AI labelView post →Played the game, it's impossible without guide. Was playing without guide it's so BORING
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No idea what I have to do.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not bad but sometimes bad grammar and spelling. also sometimes the story is a bit confusing but overall not bad.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A point-and-click adventure that gives you very little reason to play it. Despite an interesting visual style, its laughably poor story, uninspired puzzles, and extremely short length make it difficult to enjoy or recommend.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is an OK game. About 2 hours long, mediocre story to be honest but it was interesting at the beginning, the dialogue is... basic and it even has errors, I remember there was 1 line with 2 words that were missing their last letters, its entertaining to fill an afternoon.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →⚠️ Contains Story Spoilers ⚠️ This game is just bad. I didn’t like a single thing about it. The gameplay is literally just point-and-click, and it’s boring as hell. The fact that it’s 2D and pixelated also takes away from the experience (not saying pixel-art games are bad — this one just doesn’t do anything interesting with it). The story is mid at best and feels like it was written by a kid. Everything stays a “mystery” until the end, only for the explanation to be the laziest cliché ever:…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →...It didn't work | KAMGUSTA's MINI REVIEW A simple 2D point and click adventure with horror theme. It's okay, but I can recommend it only to fans of the genre. Best played with keyboard & mouse Recommended buy price: 3$ Score: 6/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Scariest part of the game was how janky it was to manage. In-game art also does NOT live up to the cover lmao. Also unnecessarily and weirdly sexual at points for no apparent reason.

neutral · AI labelView post →Just Ignore Them felt broken, and even when it was working, I found it boring. The problems made an already unenjoyable game more frustrating. Honestly, I’d just ignore this one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is really confusing to play without a guide. i was really looking forward to it during the first scene, but from scene 2 onwards i found it a slog to get through. i didn't understand the story, like at all, the writing is bad, and it just wasn't that scary.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just Ignore Them is a short horror game with a story that delivers a decent blow. With a total gameplay time of roughly one hour, it may appear to be a light and easy game when you consider the length of time it takes to complete it, but there is more friction beneath the surface than the short playtime would imply. Although it is short, it can be frustrating when you try to make progress on your own. The puzzle logic and the interaction points of the game are turning it into a rather complex…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's most likely a pretty good game, just not my piece of cake. it feels like a puzzle game, probably because it is. 4/10 for me. regardless, i'm still going to recommend it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like RPGmaker horror games, I am pretty biased when it comes to them. Even still, this feels like a really bad one, even though it's technically not one. Puzzles are basic if you can even call them puzzles, exploration is almost nonexistant and story is very mediocre.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Terrible game. it gives no direction whatsoever, obstacles feel like soft-locks rather than challenges to overcome and the game is extremely poorly coded. It randomly crashed halfway making me loose all progress because there is no autosave feature. The story is ♥♥♥♥ and doesn't make any sense.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's decent enough gameplay wise, but my goodness the story's preposterous. You have to adore point-and-click adventures and absurdity. Otherwise, stay away from this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i couldn't ignore them :(
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tried to be scary, ended up just average.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Visual bugs and no audio, unless this was the design? After trying all noticeable options it was just a waiting sim, one I had not much interest in continuing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's an unusual story. I liked it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yeah it's an alright game for a pass-time. Story was interesting enough, was left thinking about it for a bit. Some bugs and spelling errors here and there. My main issue was getting the game to run, on Linux, I had to open the actual .exe through Wine to get the game going. And Steam doesn't detect that so I can't get achievements and stuff. I've heard others had similar issues. But really, it was a fine 2 hours. Kept me well entertained throughout that VC.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got it because it was free.. but I would've paid for it. This was my first experience in this 8-bit horror genre, and man, am I excited for more. Never expected this much depth and lore out of a short game. If you've got a free afternoon, give this a try, you won't regret it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly only played for the acheivements and those done even work,
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →why didnt you ignore em, moron!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Any chance there was for me to enjoy the story was destroyed by the god awful mechanics. Basically you only move with the mouse and a lot of times it fails to do what you click on, especially while trying to go through doors. That is hell.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Recommended Hours Played: 219.3 Game short. Game scary. Me play many time. Me like.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know what a f**k this was about, but I kinda digged the story which I shouldn't for it is illogical and errors at spelling are huhely large.. Yeah - if you were able to understand what I tried to say above you should be okay to follow the storyline, because at worst it is swearing grammar mistake circus! But on the other hand t ain't totally not that bad and while the story goes sometimes beyond understanding and dev's love his ideas may have surpassed common sense - there is just…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Meh, bad writing, confusing and sometimes boring and repetitive gameplay, and some of the sexual parts are unnecessary, even tho i got it for free with the 100% discount, its still meh, wouldn't recommend
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Took a sneak peak of the game, which lingered around free - looks okay, somewhat frustrating classical point&click game with pixel graphics and somewhat unique grip in its simplicity. The game has a really dark even ulwelcoming mood time to time, that marks it is not for everyone. Quite fresh addition is that you are able to play it both in original and remake mode, but unfortunately latter seem not to be combatible with games's achievements. I just might give it a closer look later so I'd say…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is free to keep before December 15, 2025 so get it!! It's a super creepy and fun little exploration game. 8/10

neutral · AI labelView post →I had a nice day playing the rest of Just Ignore them, and raiding out to @nikokotee.bsky.social! She's a super sweet person. :3 Next I will be playing Just Ignore Them: Brea's Story Tape 1. This game is a spin off with nods towards the original story, so I'm excited to play it. 💜🔮💜
positive · AI labelView post →Although I finished the game, it's nowhere near good enough to be recommended, even considering the base price. The horror aspect alone isn't half bad, but both the story and characters are ridiculous. Meanwhile, the point-and-click puzzles contain some nonsensical solutions (such as combining a blue card and a yellow card in the inventory to get a green card). The remake version also didn't run at all on my Linux device. You may as well as ignore this game.
