Reviews for "Cult Prophecy"
Wasn't really that scary. Jump scares aren't really scary, they just make you jump. I would make the player scared first, then use some jump scares, which you also have too many jump scares. I also think it lacked music, or empty house creaks. Never underestimate the effect of sound on the player. Also avoid screechy noises, they are annoying not scary. I would also put more into the empty hallways and such, because any fear i might have had subsided through the long, empty, and boring stretches of hall between places. Artwork could use some work, needs to look more polished and real. For a first try it really isn`t that bad so keep trying :)
All bits and pieces are surrounding
and I.... can't seem to escape
there's nothing else that I can do
instead of sit and weep and sing
*Dodododoooooooo*
A word of advice:
Jump-scares are not scary, they're startling. Horror is not attained by relying entirely on jump-scares. The environment didn't even give me a sense of horror, it just looked like washed out polaroid pictures.
When trying to go for horror, try to create an air of dread or worry. You can do that with the right environment and ambiance. One or two jump-scares is good, but more than that and you're just trying to get scares by jumping in the face of the audience and screaming into their ear. Once again, not scary; just startling.
Nice game, but I can't open the door at the end of the hallway. I've read the note and went back basicially everywhere severeal times...oh well, nice game so far.
