Played this for about an hour. I'll probably play it again to get achievements, but there are a few things you should know before you buy it: - First, it's abandoned. Don't buy it thinking there is going to be more characters or maps, there isn't. - Second, there is no immersion. The maps and monsters feel like they have nothing to do with dead by daylight. Basically this feels like a completely different game and …

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME practically nothing to do after you play through it a few times. No soul in this game at all. I wouldve refunded but I left my pc on all night so now I am trapped with this on my account forever, and I am trying to save you too. I hate you bhvr why would you release this mess and then not even update it anymore

Platformer with shooter elements, where you fight monsters and try to escape the map by collecting 5 items (I dont know what to call this item :D) ✅Includes single-player and multiplayer modes (Unfortunately, not many people play it, but it might be worth inviting a friend to play) ✅3 characters to choose from, each with different powers ✅Great soundtrack ✅Dynamic gameplay and tons of enemies around you, requiring …

I had fun playing with a friend but I really wish they would've included more characters, even as updates later or DLC. Only having 2 characters and a couple enemies/bosses means this should really be free. I got it for free by linking my BHVR account on their website. I don't think its really worth $5, and even at 50% off you absolutely need a friend who wants to buy and play it with you. Single player is terribly …

After 100% this game, these are my honest thoughts 1.Its fun to play with friends, alone you are cooked 2.it have alright difficult levels, but its rng is kinda bad 3.it is rougelike aight no doubt bout it Things could be improved/changed 1.Controller's enemies lockin is straight up ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, whenever i tried locking onto enemies near me its locks onto across the map 2.its kinda bugged (for me atleast) where i was …

(from 999 Games) puts you in the role of a weatherperson who tries to predict the weather and (more importantly) predict how many days you call the weather correctly compared to others.

neutral · AI labelView post →It is verrrrry dull. Same enemies, the bosses are just bigger normal enemies. Little variance in how you play. I love rougelites, but I wouldn't play this one. Pick up ROR2.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's...okay? okay-ish? just play ultrakill for a better soundtrack, more fluid gameplay, and gabriel lowkey. it's fun for the first two bosses and then it gets old. if it wasn't technically free this would definitely get a negative rating but considering that u can link your bhvr account and get it for free, i can't complain too much
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this might be the most nothing game i have ever had the displeasure of playing
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Huge disappointment on this one! I bought it thinking it's some nice 3rd person action game with light story and exploration. What you actually get is battler where you shoot waves of enemies in closed area similar to "survivor" games. Small number of weapons available. Characters are funko pop figurines with big heads. Controls not the best too. I would say skip and put your hard earned coins on something better!

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What The Fog had potential, but BHVR released it over 1 years ago and has barely done anything meaningful since. Instead, it’s just been constant cash grabs with no real improvements or fixes. Feels like they don’t care about this game at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Get the fog out of the idea of playing this garbage made in bad faith to be purposedly unbalanced and broken. Also sometimes the game locks your mouse in place making you walk to your death.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this fogging sucks
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →From the amount of time I have spent playing this, I did enjoy it. I'm just disappointed at the absolute lack of new updates since it's release. Like where are the new playable characters? With the wide roster of original survivors in the original game Dead By Daylight, I would have thought we'd have gotten Jake, Nea, Kate, Mikayla, Yun-Jin, David and Sable by now! Get you stuff together already BHVR!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this game for free and I still feel ripped off.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow. You know how people say Lacroix flavored water tastes like its been in the proximity of fruit but never touched it? That's this game. It's like someone (and I literally mean one person) developed this game with DBD lore fed to them via a game of 500 person telephone. And that one person thought Seeing Red and Steven Universe should be the prime inspiration for the art style of this game. 3 characters total. 1 with the longest reputation of being widely disliked. Way too many…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know how this game even has mostly positive reviews, this is atrocious.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a fun dead by daylight rougelike spinoff perfect for fans of dead by daylight and rougelikes.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →⊹ ࣪ ˖ **Recommended** ˖ ࣪ ⊹ **What the Fog** is a nice little game, and I enjoyed it. It is simple, fun, and has that chaotic co-op feeling that makes it easy to play for a bit and have a good time. ⋆˚꩜。 The gameplay is about surviving waves of enemies, working together, collecting resources, upgrading, and trying to make it through the fog without everything falling apart. It has that arcade-style feeling where things can get hectic fast, but that is part of the fun. ✧ I liked that it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Disclaimer: I was gifted a copy by another steam user (not a dev afaik) Wasn't terrible but also not really what I was expecting. - Story: 0 / 10. You know that one meme "an effort was made"? When it comes to (single-player) story in this game, no effort was made. - Controls: 9 / 10. I really like that you can remap things on both kb and controller. For the most part controls felt pretty decent. Not perfect, but decent. - Characters: 3 / 10: You get 3 characters total (at least that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boring fast. No interesting characters. No cool abilities as you level up. Just more mobs and more damage. Very repetitive.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fairly good game, but after 30 minutes it becomes repetitive, got it free by making a behavior account, probably too farm data.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like this game, its some DBD type shi, and its actually very fun2play. Played a while ago with some random girl i met when i was searching for game. Its actually sad that this game is dead because multiplayer is so much fun. I hope someone revive this game, and if u developers maybe update game, i would probably install it again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It had potential... but no, it's bad. It's really bad and super undercooked. There were only ever updates within the first 10 days after launch (as of the time of this review, over a year after the launch), and it's since seemingly been completely abandoned. I don't recommend this, not even for achievement hunting. You need another person to play it with to get all the achievements. It just isn't worth the time and effort, especially when the game has been left out to rot on it's own, stale,…

neutral · AI labelView post →all steam key packs lead to what the fog
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Actual shovelware. Extremely boring and unengaging with higher difficulty being just numbers going up. The perks you get in a run can also be borderline useless more often then not.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't believe they tricked me into buying this
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was fun for awhile but gets boring very quickly due to lack of content
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →5/10 At first fun and interesting but after a few runs, especially if you managed to complete the game starts to be really boring and annoying. ITEMS/PERKS - perks or items that you get from generators and after finishing the level are EITHER useless, super niche(wow is this fr dbd 2?) or ok(increasing damage, giving HP for kills etc). Most of them are like stand still for defence bonus(you cant stand still, otherwise you will momenterally die, ESPECIALLY on higher difficulties) Characters -…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this feels like a game that was tossed together in a week, while it was cool to see another part of the entitys realm aside from the trials outside of just the lore, it gets boring after like 10 minutes and the upgrades you get are usually just stat boosts to not even anything intesting.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got it for 99cents... but still this is... not it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i would lowkey rather play any other game (play dead by daylight)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Erm What the Fog
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game but I feel like it could get very repetitive and boring quickly. I got it for free since I own dead by daylight
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After 100% completion, this is the honest feedback:- Pros: Extremely fun with friends Higher difficulties truly mean tough opponents. Variety of boss fights which will prompt you to use different strategies. Runs well on lower-end systems. Good level design Cons: Absolutely broken target-locking system. Inconsistency in movement of character. Few choices among characters, only 3 available. Joining in a lobby is a pain in the ass. Limited to only 2-player co-op. Things that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is fine. No updates since May 2024, small gameplay loop, little variety. Feels like a demo, if you want it get on sale. $5 too much for not much game.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've seen enough. Nerf pig
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not bad, it's a good shovelware game, but it's ultimately just a worse Risk of Rain 2 clone. I sooner wish BHVR stuck with Project T for a real PvE co-op experience.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got the game for free when it first released, fun game but not a lot of replayability fun game for like an hour then feels repetitive. I wouldn't personally buy it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was a fun romp, but only for free. If you got a buddy, then you'll get some mileage, but solo Q, like in DBD, is torture.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has a bunch of potential but unfortunately doesn't live up to said potential. The first 2ish hours were fun, then after that the game got pretty dry. There is little variation to the enemies and bosses, with the only difference being little modifiers to them which barely have much effect. For the low price of the game, especially while it's on sale, I'd say it's worth for the funny and experience but not much more past that (also for those achievement hunters, there is a lot of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →THIS GAME DOESN'T EVEN LOWKEY SUCK THIS GAME IS TERRIBLE!!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yeah...WTF is right. What even is this supposed to be? Very short and bare. Repetitive and boring.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →might be better than DBD due to the fact there's no solo queue
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While it has nothing to do with Dead by Daylight except that they reskinned a fantasy roguelike game with Dead by Daylight characters, generators, and currency, the game is a lot of fun. Dwight is a mage, Claudette is a hunter, and Feng is a warrior. It will be fun to see if they continue to add more Dead by Daylight characters and what random fantasy roles they will give them. More content would be nice, because it is currently sitting at a 6-8 hour 100%
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played it for 1 full run, we finished it and here is my opinion: -the 5 gens mission is very bad it's like you put it in the wrong game -the upgrades or passives you get after each stage you get to choose between 2 and most of the time its repetitive -characters could be interesting but they don't talk the only thing they do is they make a pose before escaping to the next stage which is very veeeery annoying because its the same pose every stage and you CAN NOT SKIP IT - the game give…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't really have to think while playing this game, it feels a bit too mindless. Also, upon doing some research I found that this game was never even intended to be a DBD game, it was changed last minute. Overall it feels a bit shady, like BHVR wanted a quick cash grab and decided to just slap some DBD branding on a random game to make a quick buck.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got this for free via the Behaviour Account Page (Where you can see your Games.) Cute little game that can absolutely be played solo or with a buddy. Per Rougelike logic, as soon as you get an item combo or 5+ of one, your little Dwight will suddenly explode EVERYTHING in its path. First run was a win, and a fun one at that.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of the best game to enjoy with friends, i absolutely recommend this game (and if u have friends, then this game will be more fun). easier to learn. music is good, graphics are clean, gameplay is smooth. here are some recommending feature which will help this game a lot - 1. give more maps in future to select and play 2. more new type enemies with unique gameplay 3. more characters (most probable 1 - 2 character every 2 months atleast mark my words also, this game have a lot of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty fun little game sorta set in the DBD verse (mainly just the 3 survivors, generators, and Trapper's mask you jump through to escape), though I like to think the Entity creates little worlds like this when it wants something different other than trials. The levels are repetitive, as are the monsters, but honestly, you get what you pay for with this game and if you don't mind that sort of thing, you'll probably get a few hours out of this. Personally, I would've liked to see some actual…
