Reviews for "Skin : A Pixel Nightmare"

This really could've been a game! It's pretty unique how the flow of the story continually reminds of something you'd be able to play. Picking up key items, meeting bosses (the one), occasionally having an encounter that progresses the story... and the end battle was a bit like Pokemon. Hmm, not as scary as it could've been. :P I llove the Pixel style though, the sound effects, the subtly grotesque sceneries... it's not apparent that the animations fully meant to mimic a game until the errors and key combinations set in though. As for the story, the further it progresses the more there seems to be behind it, an abortion? Or a deadborn child? A young woman fighting her sadness and regret; hurting herself and at the very last moment forgiving herself as she fades away into oblivion? That's how I perceive it, a bit sad and spooky, not very scary, but definitely nice work!

ClockworkPixel responds:

Wasn't going for a scary feel really just an uncomfortable watch kinda thing? The main story is up in the air for people to make what they want of it, i picture a misscarage but each person looks at it differently

Why don't just make a game?

ClockworkPixel responds:

Because I can't code D:

Man this is so awesome. Congrats on making an 8-bit style animation actually kind of creepy!
I really enjoyed the styles you've incorporated here to make this flow so nicely.
The music fits quite well also.
I definitely wouldn't mind playing a game like this, it's almost like an even more twisted Maniac Mansion / Splatterhouse hybrid hehe. Good stuff.
Keep up the great work!

ClockworkPixel responds:

Thank you :) i listened to the manic mansion soundtrack quite alot while making it

I liked it.

Not only did it give me a few good scares, but this also told a story with a moral behind it. A trait often forgotten along the path of making a pathological horror flash, clouded by jumpscares and gorey scenes. The artstyle also continued to give me a very uneasy feeling. Once I got used to it, realistic things had more of an effect on me. Specifically, the Siren's hair, which wasn't pixelized like everything else.
Overall, not bad. But it did have its moments where it was just morbid while being both unentertaining and not scary.

ClockworkPixel responds:

Thank you for the review. The look of the siren in the boss battle is something im really proud of :)

WTF man this video tells nothing except for the little girl!!!
