Prototype Mansion – Used No Cover | Game Info, Prices, Platforms and Reviews

This is a weird one for me. I really love the low poly style and cartoony character designs, and I adore the tongue in cheek approach to classic survival horror. This game is extremely charming. However, there's no shortage of issues, which become apparent not long after starting.
The biggest issue I have with this game is that if you save (with a save point or checkpoint), then die and quit the game, thinking you can pick up where you left off, enemies will respawn but ammo and healing items won't. This completely destroyed my ability to progress the first 3 times I tried playing. Now, I am unclear on if this is a bug or not, but it makes at least the first half of the game feel like you sort of have to do it all in one go, and makes the inclusion of save points and check points feel pretty redundant given that on a first playthrough they are more likely to cause a softlock situation than they are to actually keep your progression,
All that said...this is a very short game, and once you have a general understanding of where to go this issue sort of deals with itself, but I think it's still a pretty glaring problem that is likely to stop many players from finishing the game at all, which I highly doubt is what the developers had in mind.
The game is also surprisingly hard, even on easy and ignoring the above mentioned issue, so even for those who are steeped in old school horror games, you might find yourself regretting starting on any difficulty but easy.
Again, I genuinely love a lot of things going on here and I think it's one of the more unique takes on the classic survival horror style, so I still recommend playing it if you have any interest in playing a genuine parody of resident evil. Just know that it is fairly rough and unforgiving.

I thought it was a good game. Died a couple times because of the zombie spawns being funky but I really like this game. Good parody of resident evil. And very funny. Love the ending. And yes, plays great on steam deck.
