    – You enter a bunker. – You “explore” the bunker. – You read some poorly written notes. – You die repeatedly to some fast-moving creepy_smile.png. – You eventually make your way out of the bunker. – The end. The ending credits labelled this “to be continued,” despite offering nothing worth continuing. It wasn’t worth paying for, and it wasn’t worth playing.

    Short, enjoyable indie horror game. The story was straightforward and easy to follow. The game mechanics were simple. You can turn the VHS filter off, which I did, and the game still looks great. Sound design had me nervous that something might pop out at any moment. The sewer section could've been more tense; maybe I was just too good at finding the exit quickly? I played the demo during Next Fest, got left on a …

    I don't know if I was the only one who experienced this issue, but as of right now, there is a bug that I spent an hour trying to fix and couldn't get it to work. There's a room where you have to pick up a flashlight pretty early on, but no matter what I did, it wouldn't let me grab the flashlight. Because of that, I couldn't progress. I tried crouching - no crouch button. I tried kicking it around to get it on an …

    17. Amnesia: The Bunker Frictional's best game since Soma, adding combat and immersive sim elements to the Amnesia formulae. Giving the player the means to defend themselves and scare off the monster for a time actually raises the tension dramatically. store.steampowered.com/app/1944430/...

    The Bunker Game started as something I used in my 'The Nuclear Cold War' undergrad module at Edinburgh Uni. Jon has worked some magic on it and turned it into a really cool product. A 'party game' if you think that being a survivor in Threads looks like a fun experience.
