  This game is amazing in my books! It has FNAF like influences but don't mistake this for another crappy fnaf clone because this is far from it. With little to no bugs, amazing atmoshpere, good quality jumpscares, great enemy boogeyman model and much more, I can easily put this in my top 10 favorite horror games thus far! I played this on my YouTube and completed every night including Halloween night, which let's just say is very difficult lol. My end verdict, if you are a horror fan this is a must buy!

  I was recommended to play this game from my friend and fans saying that this game was scary which I agree it was... at the beginning. The concept of the game is to stop the boogeyman from getting you by flashing your flashlight at him when he is at the window, bed, vent, closet or door, listening for audio cues so you know where he is at but this game is that bugged that it made night 5 next to impossible to beat for me 1. (this is not a bug but rather something that was annoying) everytime you die, you are sent back to the free roam mode to search for the flashlight, this takes like 5 minutes to do but everytime u die, u have the flashlight again... This was something that I found annoying to do overtime 2. Sometimes the audio cues broke on me making it impossible for me to hear if the boogeyman was at the vent, window or door... which mean't he could open my door, window or vent without me even knowing, I mainly had this problem at night 5 3. The boogeyman hit box is soo small, most of the time I found myself constantly flashing him because my flashlight wouldn't send him back which this was a real problem as he could open my door, window and/or vent even tho I was flashing him constantly 4. I would randomly die for no reason, even tho I was confident that the boogeyman wasn't at my closet, door, window, bed or vent... I died to nothing, this bug only happened to me once but I thought I would address it 5. (This isn't a bug, I found this annoying) When you go under the bed, you have to hold right-click to get a battery... As this is a click and hold thing, I think that if I let go that I go back to the top of my bed but you have to let go of the right-click and right-click again to go back... I found this annoying myself but might not be annoying for you 6. (This was a funny bug) Sometimes when you died, the other boogeyman's also jumped in as well as kill you as well... At one point, I had 3 boogeyman's killing me at the same time This game has a lot of promises, this was scary at first and it has got me scared a few times and it is one of those better FNAF fan games but progressing through the game and finding these bugs and the annoying things I mentioned made me stop playing it. This game is great if you like cheap jumpscares, I did enjoy this game when I was livestreaming it but at night 5 I grew uninterested :)

  If you get this game play the older version. The boogeyman looked creepier, the intro and whispering are awesome. The distractions/red-herring-scares were much more effective. In the recent version, the intro was removed, the monster's new texture is much less scary, the menu is glitchy and doesn't always pause, and the load times are ridiculous. The only good thing about the update is the house exploration; it's rules are consistent but kind of difficult to figure out. It's somewhat creepy but frustrating more than anything. The worst part is that even when you complete it, if you die during the actual night, you have to restart the house exploration. This can be circumvented by turning it off at the main menu, but adding to the iteration time like it does is still very poor game design. I haven't even gone over everything, but trust me when I say that you want to play the older version. Just go into the game's properties, then the betas menu and select boogeyman 1.0. Also, remember to turn the sensitivity way down from the default or it's difficult to play.

  Pros: + Pleasant to look at graphics + Decent animation + Awesome Monster Designs and Concepts + Tense and well built atmosphere + Well placed scares + Constantly improving, consistant addition of new things + Management Horror Cons: - A couple of minor glitches ( will explain below ) - Issue with the menu screen - No mouse sensitivity options ( My mouse will fly around ) - A bit too easy but suddenly 0 to 100 on Night 5 and beyond. PROS: Boogeyman is an $7.99 game which I picked up for only $3.99 and has been an overall enjoyable experiance and worth the $3.99 that I paid for it. Following on the tails of the new popular genre of management horror, as made popular by Five Nights at Freddy's, Boogeyman is a fresh take on this genre and does not clone other popular management horror games- even if it comes with the Fazbear brand cassete tapes to start the nights off. A lot of love and care has gone into the details of this game, making Thomas's room very detailed and putting a lot of time and effort into the animations of the various monsters and items in the room. Boogeyman also has very, very good sound engineering that makes audio the main focus of surviving the night. Not only in the survival portions of the night but the collection portions as well. The atmosphere is also very well built with the lore and consistant with its tense build up of threat instead of throwing jumpscares at you like most horror games found on Steam. It is an overall challenging and fun experiance! CONS ( but mostly recommendations to the developer ): Something that I noticed is that Boogeyman has heavy VR support and I did not play it with a VR set up, which would definately intensify the survival parts of the night- but the developer shouldn't forget to include the players who are not using VR and to make sure to have full control support ( i.e. mouse sensitivity settings ). There were a few glitches when I was playing that resulted in having to suicide under a vent or restarting the program- this being that when I opened the menu while in the survival portion of the night that no keys would let me close the menu therefore resulting me in having to close the program. The second glitch which I encountered was the shelf in the bathroom would become inaccessible since I could not fit between the bath tub and the toilet- meaning that when the flashlight was in that location that I would not longer be able to access the rest of the game unless I suicide or re-start the program. Lastly, when it comes to issues, I felt that the difficulty level majorly increased- I went from being able to complete to night barely looking at the screen to being completely unable to make it one hour into the night ( which may be my own fault ) but with the trailor, I cannot imagine getting far past where I currently stopped. But despite this, I would recommend this game for the $7.99 that the developers are charging for it. You will definately get a few hours of fun and challenge, especially those that you are into games like FNAF.

  For starters, let me clarify something: this game has nothing to do with that atrocious slasher film titled Boogeyman. Neither does it have anything to do with its sequels. Boogeyman is about the very mythical creature that parents use to make their children go bed in time or simply behave properly. I think the adaptation of such a thing is a very clever idea. Many people compared this to the series called Five Nights At Freddy's. The concept is similar: we are positioned at a specific place - we cannot move just look around in Thomas' room. Mentioned boy is equipped with a flashlight, the sole weapon that is capable of ridding ourselves of the boogeyman. The mission is very simple: survive till 6 o'clock in the morning. We have to survive 6 hours on our bed while the creature can enter our room through the window, the vent, come out of the cupboard or from under the bed and can even use the door from the corridor to peek in. The game uses a handful of distractions. While we can manage ourselves pretty soon we realise it's not just about the surveillance but also about paying attention to various noises the boogeyman makes. Did he just make a scratching sound? He's coming from under our bed. Do you hear him breathing? He will not come out but you are not to take a look at underneath you. And this is what I like about the game: it forces you to look under the bed. The very place with batteries to charge your flashlight. It is the challenging part as you definitely get some important seconds lost while going down there which is a must. Early on you find the game easy but come Night 4 and you are in for a world of hurt! Overall, 7 nights are to be completed and I have to say I enjoyed the ride. Back to distractions: the game employs some weather effects to play with your senses. While the lightning can help you see the room for a sec or two the constant sound of the heavy rain may suppress the boogie's noises. There are a couple of lights turned on but sooner or later all are switched off and we barely have any lighting sources. I like how the toys can be turned on out of the blue making us drive up the wall. The cymbal-banging monkey toy in the corner just behind us looks as if he just arrived from a Stephen King novel. The game has an additional, free-roaming, house exploration mode but that I did not like. I did not find it as terrifying as the original concept. Moreover I cannot comment on the VR option. A propos VR: the floating menus are certainly an improvement compared to the ones in the older versions but it does not pause the game itself - it is pretty annoying to start over because I had the idea of changing something in the video settings. Some more gameplay modes and added difficulty levels would be great additions. Also, the death animation is pretty annoying as in case a 2nd or 3rd boogeyman enters the room while the animation is being played it is followed up by theirs. This repetition of monster pop-up and an ugly red screen could certainly use some improvement. Boogeyman is a refreshing concept in a genre that has seen some great games in recent years such as Slenderman or Outlast. It can certainly stand on its own but I recommend the developer make some improvements here and there to fully utilise this great idea.
