Near Death Experience

Some youtubers are saying this isn't any good but I thought it was pretty good. The graphics in some areas in the game are great and the use of sound is brilliant. It can be a bit frustrating in areas when you die and have to start over and over and the numerical code is a tricky one. overall a good game. took abot 1.5 hours to complete. Check out the vid and take a look for yourself.

Ok so I watched Nuttyape play this on YouTube & immediately bought it because he was totally funny as the game scared the crap out of him & the game reminded me so much of Silent Hill. Yeah I was only able to play 20 minutes, because it's the middle of the night here & IT SCARED THE CRAP OUTTA ME!!! Without giving any spoilers, let me just say, when I came out of a room where you get important info & the zombie nasty fricking monster popped up out of nowhere & ate me!!!!! I literally screamed. I bet my neighbors just called the cops. SO I will wait for daylight to play some more because this is the scariest fricking game since SIlent Hill. Oh and you get NO weapons so if the zombie nasty fricking monster tries to eat you, RUN!

If you are like me, you read the reviews of this game with people claiming how terrifying this game was. How it scared the literal fecal matter out of their buttholes etc. And if you are still like me, you properly asked yourself " Is this game really that scary? Or, are those people just actual full of the same substance that they claim the Near Death Experience scared out of them." Well, being an indie horror gaming guy, I took the plunge and parted with the wallet crunching $4.50?!?!, and decided to find out.
First and most importantly, is Near Death Experience (NDE for short) actually scary? Well, I've played all the way to chapter 4 (7 chapters in total), and I'd say on a scale of 1-10, 1 being a bright sunny day in the park with singing birds and shit flying everywhere, and 10 being HOLY FREAKING SHIT GET THIS AWAY FROM ME, I'd give NDE a conservative...6.5 possibly 7 so far.
The game's main screams have come in the way of fetch quests whilst you are being chased by less than friendly creatures. So it is jump scare heavy when and if they do get ahold of you. I'm not going to lie, one time I tried to hide in the bathroom in the dark from the zombie guy, and I didn't hear him come in there. When he grabbed me I about knocked my cam and mic off the desk I jumped so high out of my chair.
The atmosphere is also well done. Dreary backgrounds, rust and blood stained school hallways and underground basements, and otherworldly places where I'm not exactly sure where the hell we actually are. The music is on point. Rising at the right times. Plenty of unsettling creaks, squeaks, and monster growls. They actually have the old Silent Hill tornado siren thrown in the beginning of the game as well.
But, and of course there is a but, this game suffers from the same problem as most games that rely on items finding and jump scares do. After you've died a few times looking for whatever it is you need to collect, you already know what's coming...and it isn't really scary anymore. it becomes more of a game of just ring a round the rosy, dodging whatever is chasing you while you try and pick up what it is you are searching for this time. (To be fair the game did include a math puzzle as well...Yay math! *sarcasm*) Like I said, I'm only half way in, so the rest of the game could pick up in that aspect.
Also a negative is there is no control options at all. The default mouse sensistivity was stupid high, so I literally had to turn my mouse DPI to stone age slow speeds just to get a playable turning sensitivity. No audio or visual adjustments, button remaping, etc. Also, you can skip to and from whatever chapter you want, right from the beginning, which I thought was a little odd.
All in all though, as far as indie's go at this price point, I feel confident in saying this has been a enjoyable little ride so far. I don't regret my purchase, but I would caution you if you go into this thinking this reinvents the indie horror game wheel. It doesn't, but it has a been a nice addition to the genre so far.
I am including a video of my first playthrough. It doesn't contain a review or anything special. Just me trying to help get my upstart channel out there. Everyone else does it, so fuck it right? If you feel like seeing who the scrub behind the mask is, then by all means check it out!

Very scary game so far. the graphics are fantastic and the scares are much more complex then just jumpscares.
