Knock Knock


Knock Knock - Indie Horror/Action/Adventure Game

There is an unusual cabin deep in the woods. It had served as a laboratory and a dwelling for three generations of Lodgers. But as of late the latest Lodger has been noticing weird changes in familiar surroundings; things are missing, noises and rattle heard. Something odd is coming out of the woods. Come night, it seems like someone’s made himself at home in the twilight of rooms, attics, and cellars.

You need to stay awake and sane till dawn. The Lodger is wandering the rooms, evading the unknown, counting minutes till morning. But it’s only in the night that he can solve the main puzzle and find the answers. What’s going on? Are the Guests real, or are they just figments of his insomniac imagination? What’d happened to the forest? What’s happening to the cabin? Is there a line between reality and imagination?

The Howler



The Howler - Indie Action/Adventure Game

Vilnius, 1905. Free city, roamed by dirigibles, air balloons and steam carriages. Alchemists and mechanics build and operate incredible machines and automatons. Powerful neighbors feel challenged by the innovations of the free city. The game can be played in a traditional touch/click way or you can do everything by voice – noise will make the balloon to go up, silence will let it down. You can even drop parcels or bombs by making short loud noise. There are 16 missions in this game. Each mission is unique - you have to complete the task to go to the next one. This game is a mix of action and adventure and quest and puzzle solving. It does require some strategic thinking. Each level of the game is unique piece of art - all the images were hand-drawn on paper, in an old-fashioned way.

Review:

I don’t know where to begin with this game. All I can say is that it was one of the most boring games ever. I can’t even tell you what the storyline was about since I couldn’t even get through 10 minutes of playing when I just decided to get rid of it. The graphics are pretty harsh since this is a ‘live action’ game…so it’s real actors and scenery (think of it as playing through a film). The voice acting was pretty terrible to be honest. The characters didn’t put much effort into it. The gameplay is in first person view. I personally am not a big fan of first person (there are exceptions) so this was beyond annoying. And the controls were just so difficult and clunky. The whole thing was just a complete mess and confusion. I really do not recommend this. Don’t even look at it. Just ignore it…

System Requirements:

Pentium 1000 or higher
128 MB Ram
16MB Video Card
800MB Hard Drive Space
Windows 98, XP, Vista or 7


Review:

This game, just like Relics, is a live action/adventure game. The scenes and actors are real, so of course the controls are faulty and the voice acting is horrible. I didn’t really understand what on earth I was supposed to be doing or why. I don’t even know what the game is about yet I played it. I thought it would be fun and I was wrong. One thing that I found extremely annoying of this game was the fact that in order to proceed through one objective you had to go to another location to find said item (i.e. there is a box in the hospital so you have to get the key at a windwill). This game is in first person view, and since the controls were basically point and click in circles…it made me dizzy at times. I didn’t like this game and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone…unless I don’t like you and want you to suffer.
