So, I'll just start off by saying I did not like Home, but this game looked a lot better so I decided to give it a chance. And while the game looks and plays a lot better than Home, the story once again just falls flat to me. Here are my pros and cons of the game:
PROS: Looks fine. Not the best looking point and click I've ever played, but it definitely is well done and well made. The movement is fine, even if the run animation is wonky. The puzzles are fairly easy, and easy to find hints for. I got all of the investigation achievements in my first playthrough without a guide just by exploring. I like the cartoon segments of the game. It's not often I see it, and I also thought it was nicely drawn and complemented the game overall. The art direction was good.
CONS:
1. There are too many things that seemed to just want to create the scary atmosphere or puzzle situation that just doesn't make sense in a town I'm supposed to believe exists and functions. There are a few plotholes never closed, and more either not explained, or very loosely explained where you'd have to suspend belief.
2. There is too much nonsense dialogue. It's even more annoying because you can't skip any cutscenes or dialogue sequences even on replays, and I don't need Holly summarizing out loud what I just found out. The clues were not that complex to decipher.
3. Lastly, and this is just me nitpicking, there is no reason to have this game marked with sexual content for LGBT content. A lesbian unrequited love (there is nothing graphic) is not sexual content. Being gay is not anymore sexual content than being straight. If Holly was in love with Flynn instead, I'm sure the sexual content warning wouldn't be there.
I bought the game as part of a bundle so I got a little bit of a discount, but the game isn't very long, even with three playthroughs because you can bypass a lot of it if you write down some of the combinations. If you're still interested in the game, I'd wait for a sale or get it in a bundle, but I still don't recommend it. The story just didn't hit.
I was really excited to play this game on my birthday at night, and I was really into it for the first 10 minutes, until the mechanics of the game play loop was introduced (15 minutes in, it's basically: press a button to hide within the background, wait until the enemy passes by, pop back out).
While the enemy mechanics are similar to Lone Survivor, Lone Survivor is a much better game in all aspects (game play, story, atmosphere, etc). I feel bad for saying that because I can tell a lot of hard work was put into Worse Than Death. But the only good thing this game shares with Lone Survivor is the pretty pixel art. But that doesn't save the bad writing, almost no horror/suspenseful atmosphere, and a really boring and tedious game play.
There was nothing to look forward to, which is why I stopped trying to finish the game.
I genuinely feel bad for leaving a negative review. Despite all the harsh words, I do want to see more from the game devs. I think they know how to make a good game. But for potential buyers, I would skip Worse Than Death.
