Reviews for "Asylum 2018"

Not very fun, the items don't say what they do and you can buy an item by accident just by trying to get a description. Backround is neat but the KH character and the photo-stock friends were fairly bad. Map feels a little pointless when it doesn't mark anything on there.

It was not that easy and tbh I find it funny how the friends look in this game.
Overall, I really enjoyed playing this sneaky game.

I loved this game. But without the help of the walkthrough, I would have never been able to complete the game. I found 2 friends right away, but to be able to do all the puzzles plus remember where everything for all the hints was and all the doors I would have never been able to do it myself.

But otherwise all that, the game was good and well made!

I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it, but I wouldn't have if not for the help of my phone and the walkthrough. I already had the idea that the 7-letter word literally resulted in the word 'longer' by removing one but I didn't think of the word 'lounger', doesn't really sound like a real word in my head. As for 'creep' how the HELL was I to figure that one out myself?! Where was there ANY hint for that word? Not only that, but cut out the back of the empty case?! Without the walkthrough I NEVER would have thought of that because there's no sign that I could see that there was something hidden back there! As for why I needed my phone, I guess paper and pencil would have sufficed but all the same, there's no way that that crap could be memorized. I'm surprised I even managed to memorize the yellow lines and get that big block of lights right on the first try! I think, once more, most people would need to either take a picture or use paper/pencil.

If this little game had come out 25 years ago or even 20 years ago when I still didn't have a full grasp of the internet, I never would have been able to finish this game because I never would have been able to figure out 'creep'. The other matters I could deal with by using paper and given time I likely would have figured out that 'longer' one, but really I'd have been pretty lost without the walkthrough. That's why this game doesn't get five stars, mostly because of the 'creep' one. Also, yeah, as sharpnova mentions below (or above?) the pictures of the 'friends' looks quite strange compared to the rest of it. The backgrounds were cool though, and the music was good. I think 4.5 stars is a bit generous but I'll stick with it.

Thanks! Sometimes what I think will be good or easy, just isn't. I was trying to be pretty sneaky. Yeah, I need some new people it seems. :)

few criticisms.

the art for your friends is just.. hilariously out of place. you have these nice environments and then a completely mismatched stock photo like it was out of a sears catalog. really dumb looking. absolute horrible addition to the formula of this game, unless you use proper art.

i got stuck fairly early and clicked your walkthrough link and it was just a trailer for the game. very disingenuous. tricking people into going to your site.

as others have said, if you purchase the crystal ball first, you can't beat the game.

using items from your inventory is a little cumbersome.

The people were meant to be how they were and the walkthrough link was messed up, not intentionally. It happens.
