31 Days of Spooks: Day 4 - Please Answer Carefully

-

 


Hey guys! Welcome to day 4 of our 31 Days of Spooks! Today's game is a short horror survey game called Please Answer Carefully. It was a short, simple, and yet creepy game made in 24 hours. The front screen says that it takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete, but it's closer to 5 minutes or less. I think my playthrough took about 4 minutes, but I also read pretty fast. 

The game does come with a content warning about being themed around a stalker. Rather than jump scares, this game uses audio to unsettle the players. Personally, I think that audio scares are creepier than jump scares. There's just something about the way that the audio hits. It's unsettling, and unnerving to say the least.

Speaking of spooks, this game also uses forced typing. If you don't know, forced typing is when the game allows you to type, but the text it wants is already programmed into it. For example, this game asked me to tell them I miss them, I tried to type no, but it changed the text to what it had programed. 


The game consists of 12 questions, and during my time playing, I was only ever able to get 1 ending. For being made in only 24 hours, I'm impressed. Even though it's short, it's effective. I makes you feel unsettled, feel creeped out. For that reason I highly recommend playing this game. It's available to play in browser, for free, on Itch.io. This game is also related to the game A Man Outside, which I will also be reviewing during our 31 Days of Spooks. 

I know this was a shorter review, but I hope you enjoyed it nonetheless! Thanks for checking out another day of 31 Days of Spooks, and stay tuned for more! Happy gaming!

Hope Lake: What Happened at this Boarding School?

      Hope Lake is a point-and-click adventure about a mystery surrounding the disappearances of girls from the boarding school, several years after the school had been abandoned and the girls grown up. The untimely death of the Governess plays a key role in finding out the mystery of the missing girls. You play as Detective Kelly Wells, who is determined to figure out what is going on.     I personally LOVED this game. Normally I don't enjoy hidden item games, but the way they use that mixed with how they also include puzzles and mystery makes for a great game. Some of the puzzles were easy, some had mild difficulty, and then there were 2-3 that I needed help on. Thankfully my boyfriend is better at certain puzzles than I am and was able to help me with those extra difficult ones.     I really enjoyed the storyline as well. It took twists and turns that I wasn't expecting and built up the world to make a very immersive for the whole experience. The whole experience took me abo

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of posts this past month. There's been a lot of life changes that I'll explain below. No more PC So my PC completely died, like wouldn't charge or anything. Dead, no hope. That's what the professional I took it to said. Thankfully he was able to pull my drive to save all my files and photos, which was my biggest concern. I'm working on finding a new one, but I'm not sure when that will be. Until then, I will be using my Switch and discovering some awesome mobile games! Surgery   So about two weeks ago I had to get carpal tunnel surgery on my right wrist. Unfortunately, I'm right handed. Basically, Carpal tunnel surgery, also known as carpal tunnel release, is a procedure that relieves pressure on the median nerve by cutting through the carpal ligament to make more space for the tendons. Due to this surgery, I have to be off for 6 weeks from work. My strength and grip is not very good, due to the procedure and it hurts to over

Times Gamers Passed Unexpectedly

    So in my last post, I talked about horrible crimes associated with video games. Well, I've decided to explore the other dark side of that; unexpected deaths. This post will mostly be focusing on untimely deaths of beloved gamers, due to video games. I will only be covering a small handful of these cases, but you can easily find other cases online. Again, a trigger warning is in place for this post, as it still contains content that some readers may find distressing. Also, if you read any, read Calvin Riley's case. You may just be able to help bring an unknown killer to justice. Hsieh     Hsieh, his surname, was a 32 year old gamer from Taiwan. He lived in the second largest city, Kaohsiung. He spent much of his time at internet cafes, and his family stated that he often would disappear for 2-3 days to spend time at these cafes, as he was unemployed and felt this was the only place he could go. Unfortunately, in 2015, a staff member at the café found Hsieh motionless, at one
