  Wire Lips is an atmospheric short-form horror game with much to like and hope for. ====== PROS: + Atmosphere + Sound Design + Lighting + Assets + Dark Themes + Blend of horror mediums. ----- CONS: - Story is very simple and little explained. - Mostly walking simulator. - Simple puzzles (too easy). - No replay value. ----- RECOMMENDED? Yes. Its worth a quick play through to experience, especially due to the fit and finish (well-polished), and overall vibe of the game. Though keep in mind, a single play through will assuredly be all you need, and you may not have clarity on all facets of what happened, or why.

  Short horror game from the developer of Umfend & Fariwalk, about 60 to 90 minutes if you take your time exploring (there are a few collectables and an alternate ending that could be missed). This experience is similar to games like PT and 103 due to a looping psychological effect. Your walk around an apartment in circles as you being hunted by the ghost, and as the character falls into madness it will slowly become more and more disturbing. The game tells you exactly what you need to do to progress, so it's nearly impossible to get stuck. There are a few easy puzzles that do not require much effort, and you can't really die - not that kind of game. Our character is a photographer that receives photos of her missing friends. While the entire game takes places in only a few rooms, there is enough variety that happens through psychological means. The game generally does a good job when it comes to atmosphere and immersion, you can even rotate and zoom in with the camera to look around (normally it would be locked behind the shoulder, for better or worse). The apartment has nice attention to detail, many objects that were made for the game, unlike some cheaper titles that we see Steam. I didn't find the jump scares too scary just because you can't really die, but it had a nice tension. [h1] Pros: [/h1] + many creative jump scares & psychological effects + some collectables and a bonus ending + for an indie game it actually looks pretty good [h1] Cons & Feedback: [/h1] Even though I don't mind short games, I would encourage devs to add more replay value through other avenues, maybe more endings.I also have 2 small nitpicks. The camera was a little too close to the character, maybe it would be nice to have the option to zoom out. It also felt kinda odd that you tell the player exactly what to do, in my opinion, it's not the best way to experience a horror game. I understand that it would be too convoluted if you had to 'make tea' on a guess, but still, you don't want to guide a player the entire way IMO. [b] Overall Thoughts: [/b] I have been a fan of this developer for a few years now, their games tend to be very creative, and this one is no exception. Out of the last 3 horror games they made this one is my least favourite, but it's only because I thought the other 2 were great. I enjoyed playing through it once, however, it's a little overpriced if you looking for more than 1 hour of content.

  This feels a lot like Silent Hill 4 but without the combat (an indie version obviously). All I can really say without spoiling it is that you're trapped in a house and progressively more disturbing things happen as the story ramps up towards it's climax. I really enjoyed it. I wish it was a big longer (I finished it in about an hour) but otherwise, it's a great new indie horror game and we've had quite a lot of bad ones recently so it's nice to see a good one come around. If you're on the fence, go ahead and check out my video to see if this is something you think you might like. If you do end up liking what you see, I do highly recommend that you stop watching the video and play it for yourself just so you don't spoil anything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Cb_VEP1ClY

  A decent walking simulator with great atmosphere and nice jumpscares, but no storyline. Finished in 60 mins.
