Psycho Reign

Early access but as it stands now, played the first map a couple times with a friend and to sum it up is more frustrating than it is scary. Bugs: (keep in mind early access but I though to include them anyways). - Getting heath drained for seemingly no reason. - Sound cues of the two enemies of the game chasing/injuring you are played for both players regardless of who is actually getting chased. - when the killer is alerted to a sound and reaches the POI sometimes instead of walking away when he has checked it, he walks in place and doesn't leave until he is out of range of both players or enters chase (big problem for if the POI blocks your escape). - Run out of flashlight juice? No need putting a new battery in it works perfectly fine. - Getting a message that 'you don't have the key to this door' on every door regardless if you have the key or not (if you have the key the door will open if you spam it). - Losing chase is as easy as crouching in the broken graves patches through out the map (can trigger the walking in place glitch too). Pros: - Can serve some scares to those who are new to horror - Potential to be a fun little horror game (Early access) Cons: - AI is generic and linear. - Bigger maps than needed. - When one player dies it's game over. - Two enemies in the game (One is a bad enemy). -Main Killer (Okay but bland). -Sitting doll model from Emily wants to play (Chases you if you get in range of where they spawn where you can't out run it and have to eventually take a hit). - Some mechanics have only one or no use to them. - Once you figure out the game gets really draggy and boring (open door, do simple puzzle, get key, open door, Etc.) (Killer can only chase one player or respond to noises in his area at a time, meaning one player does boring puzzles while the other does boring puzzles with the killer slowing them down). - Scares (for what they are) lose their charm after one or two times. - 'Scares' form the little girl voice is just a voice and serves no danger or cue for anything and can be ignored. This isn't to rip on the creators but to hopefully help it in the right direction as I love indie horror especially multiplayer ones and I think this can definitely a game that I would enjoy playing/streaming. Not planing on refunding to support the creators, unless they don't give the game the attention it deserves. Tl;dr: As it stands now (early access), not worth it even for a 'bad horror game', but check back when it is done for it has potential.

it could be good, but it feels unfinished, like there's something lacking. if one of the 2 player dies in multiplayer, you both lose. it is more of an anxious game than a horror.

Big props to the developer. The review I left last week has been void due to very responsive development, and a number of changes have been made that I believe will enhance the game in some very noticeable ways. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Old Review: TLDR - the game isn't scary for trivial reasons, but it has potential. The main issue with the game is the mini-map. Each player gets a highly detailed mini-map that shows The Psycho's location at all times. As a result, there is zero "fear of the unknown". This sucks because the psychological factor of not knowing what is coming is very important in making a game scary. To put it simply; this game isn't scary. A few simple changes would make this game a lot of fun: - Make so you must break line-of-sight with the Psycho in order to enter a hiding place - remove the Psycho from the mini-map altogether - add fog-of-war to the mini-map so you must discover areas - ditch the introduction area except for the very first level Can't wait to see where it goes from here! Especially since I spent 4 bucks on it

This game is 6 dollars too much and 9 gigabytes too large

Pretty good for an early access game, good atmosphere, okay puzzles, and you get to kill the monster at the end. Great in co-op too, worth the price.

Played this early and had some trouble, but the Developer was quick to make changes for the better. Very suspenseful, and a blast to play with a friend. Easily worth the asking price for a creepy experience.

Nice assets, especially the Zector Labs Villains, nice idea, but the programming.... oh boy ! No replication, no different player characters, poor animations. You get killed by an invisible enemy. Even for free this would be a pain. You can barely call it a game.

Great atmosphere but monster not scary at all, and "ghost" icons are really annoying. Quests a bit repetitive. Price a little bit high. overall this game has a great potential !

the game is getting better and better day by day i will preffer you atleast try

the goobert guy that follows you has the worst AI and the crypt hiding spots are buggy, dont buy this game

for first time play the game is pretty scary :D i play singelplayer but i need to get for my friends lot of fun !

Absolutely bad. The pages do not show any numbers and you're unable to progress.

butcher & priest teams up to chop you up in a cemetery during night....what can go wrong?

there is still place for improvement but not bad

Scary, exciting game. Bit hard, but its fun.

Bit hard at the beginning but cool game.

This game is terrible, you can't even outrun the killer

have nobody to play with was still fun in singleplayer
