I first heard of this game from a friend. As soon as the words "you play as a two-year old in a survival horror game" left her mouth, I instantly thought "fuck it, I want this game". Because really, while survival horror isn't unique since many years back, the fact that you control a two-year old was very, very interesting to me, and very original. I was so curious I didn't want to ruin my experience by watching playthroughs and the like; I just bought if off steam and began playing.
I am Swedish, but I didn't think "They copied Amnesia: The Dark Descent one of my favorite games ever, nuuu!" In fact, I didn't care. I mean, yes; it did have similar elements (which game doesn't nowadays?), but as long as it had an interesting story, I was all for it.
Like the other reviewer said, I was a bit disappointed. I got accustomed to no monster chases and just thought that the creepy athmosphere and jumpscares would be all that the game was going to shove at me. So I felt I could run like hell whenever I wanted. Big mistake. I shat my pants when the monster was catching up to me. And from that point on, like in Amnesia, I was paranoid and would constantly take stops to look around.
What kept me going was my curiosity. I wanted to know what happened, dammit. I mean, it would be way easier to understand unlike other more complex horror stories. I didn't need to be Einstein or anything. The perspective was seen from a freaking toddler.
I wasn't disappointed in the ending, however. In fact, it made a lot of sense to me. I thought it was odd that the child was brave throughout, as he was a toddler, but the ending summed the reason up perfectly. Just finish the game yourselves; who am I to spoil.
Just saying one thing, that kid is badass. He's a toddler and endures watching monsters and the like. I remember pissing my pants upon seeing the McDonald's Clown when I was 4.
I'm getting irrelevant here. Anyway, it's worth a play. But only once. Once you know your way through and stuff after finishing the game; it's kind of a bore. But it's still a great piece of survival horror.
Man, that baby is HARDCORE.
