This game is a bite-sized metroidvania, one that is easy to navigate but still has a good sense of exploration and rewards you for finding items with cool new areas to make your way through. The boss fights are also great and this game is a lot less punishing than other fangames due to the "fear" mechanic, which is basically a health system that automatically regenerates, except during bosses. Overall this game is awesome, and one of the coolest fangames I've played!

Pretty fun adventure fangame with a horror setting. Just like Overlord, it's structured as a Metroidvania, but unlike it, this game is a lot more concise: The overworld is way smaller, and there are less items to keep track of, so even though there's no map, you aren't as likely to get lost (Seems like some people still got lost anyway, though). At the same time, everything is connected to a main hub, so even if you do happen to miss an item, you shouldn't have to replay a lot of sections to find it. Finally, every item has a name and description, and with both of these in hands it should be fairly easy to figure out their purpose in the game. I'm taking my time to mention this because many metroidvania fangames are also the "Where in the hell do I go?" type of games, but this one isn't and I definitely appreciate that.
Now moving on to the gameplay, the core of this game is a "Fear" mechanic, which works similarly to a health bar with some modifications. First off, you can recover your "Fear" bar by resting, as long as you are not in a scary situation (Usually a boss fight). Also, if your character gets too scared for some reason (Though I can only recall one instance of such an event happening), your fear will increase even before you suffer any damage. This mechanic allows the player to make mistakes as often as he wants, as long as he doesn't rush things, which is what makes this game more beginner-oriented even though some platforming sections would be relatively difficult otherwise.
The platforming is composed by a decent variety of gimmicks, moving obstacles and enemies to kill. Combined with the diverse spooky areas, they make for a nice amount of variety. There aren't that many bosses in the game, but the ones it has are among the most well-made bosses fangames have to offer. Nice variety of attacks, crazy good visuals and even though they aren't super difficult, they are still challenging enough to be memorable.
I do have a few minor issues with it, though. The "fear" mechanic isn't very well explored, working as a health bar 99% of the time. Like I said before, as far as I can remember there was only one time where the "fear" bar increased because the character was scared, rather than because he got injured. I've seen many people saying that this mechanic was very well explored in this game, but I couldn't disagree more. The second issue goes in a similar direction. This game takes place in a horror setting. It does a great job on making the visuals, musics and sound effects work together to create a spooky scenario. Yet, it just won't stop breaking the fourth wall and making jokes about it. It's never subtle about it either, it just rubs the jokes on your face like they are spikes and you are the Kid and you keep exploding in a big puddle of blood and pressing R just to take the next joke and that was a horrible comparison...Anyway, it doesn't feel like comic relief, it feels like the jokes belong on a different fangame, almost like the maker couldn't decide between making a scary fangame and making a troll game, and ended up making something that got stuck in the limbo between both genres. It feels cheap, and constantly breaks the player's immersion.
Anyway, gameplay-wise, it was a great experience for sure. Would definitely recommend.

A great exploration metroidvania style fangame from one of the communities best creators. Much like his first game Overlord, the game features an inventory system that allows players to collect items that have to be used in order to open new paths.
The platforming is solid with some nice gimmicks, all with the highest tier of production, presented at just the right level of difficulty to never drag the gameplay. The bosses are highly-produced, and have a nice variety of attacks that are all reasonable. The game also features a fear mechanic that allows the player extra room for mistakes that really makes the game accessible to players of all skill ranges.
Roughly about an hour in length, it's pretty amazing that a game with this level of production was produced in only a month, a feat that many other makers have yet been able to do in their career to date.

What an incredible experience I gotta say and I am not even gonna hide how biased I am towards such a way of using and combining a little bit of metroidvania and old-school Resident Evil style of gameplay. I enjoyed it all the way through, exploration was enjoyable and never felt tedious. Though, I managed to forget a few places I had to backtrack to but it wasn't a huge issue.
Bosses are all great and leave a great memorable impression.
I don't really have anything to say from personal experience as everyone else already wrote what I would have said.
Insanely good game as always from Mattin.
