Since Halloween is right around the corner, I thought that I should play some horror games. I didn't know what to play though. There was a time when I was playing a lot of horror games and I feel like I've already played through all the good ones. Well, out of nowhere Steam throws this game in my face called DON'T SCREAM. I checked it out and it seemed really cool.
In this game, you have to survive for 18 minutes while walking through a creepy forest and of course, you can't scream. So you set up your microphone in a way that lets you speak quietly but if you gasp, scream, or make any other sound, you lose. Another thing is that the timer only moves if you keep moving. That sounded so cool to me that I knew I had to give it a try.
As you'll see in the video, I didn't do too well. Sometimes I forgot I couldn't scream and just said something a bit louder than I should and that made me fail. This would be very easy to win by "cheating" with the microphone far away or something but where's the fun in that? So I went all in on this game and only made it to like 8 minutes left.
Super cool game and I definitely think you should give it a try if you like horror games. Unreal 5 together with the camcorder effects make it look super realistic. However, there are some flaws that I want to point out. The jump scares feel super random and aren't connected to anything. It's all just random. After a few runs, it will feel repetitive and yeah that gets old quickly. If they manage to change things a bit though, I think they have a really cool game on their hands. Anyway, hope you enjoyed it. See you next time!
