Poor dog
Easily the most disturbing game I've ever played, but an absolute masterpiece nonetheless.
Surreal visuals and horrific vibes carry this twisted depiction of family relationships that cuts off abruptly the second you get invested in the story. Feels like a good concept art that lacks content and refinement. Only buy this if you're a fan of David's work.
3.5/10
Neat to go back and see what a developer made in the early years, though it has some issues that prevent me from recommending it.
Some performance issues. Graphics, art, and gameplay are a bit rough. The story is pretty interesting though a bit too direct.
good
A Wolf In Autumn is a short psychological horror game with a setting judging by the developer's own early steps in creating games. You find yourself in the mind of a child trapped in a cage of trauma and confusion from the start. Although the story has a formality and narrative that is interesting to appreciate, the mechanics are a little grating. The atmosphere tries to be fearful at a certain point but often fails in its shades. It's a game that I'd question positively or negatively, but in view of the essential terms that could be improved, I'll keep this wolf dormant.
A short story about the importance of psychiatrists.
good game
This game was good for what it is. Nothing to write home about but a good way to spend an hour. The graphics hurt my eyes a little.
Pro
An interesting puzzler with a horror aspect.
Visuals were pretty. Puzzles not overly difficult.
Con
I was just starting to get invested in the game when it ended and left feeling unsatisfied... so a little thin & confusing on the story.
The game was cheaper than a cup of coffee, so I'm not refunding it, but I didn't care to finish it either. It's my least favorite Dave game so far. I never connected to the setting or the girl, I couldn't get curious, and the puzzles only felt plausible about half the time. I will update my review if I feel compelled to go back and finish.
Good Game. Recommend.
I'm not sure where this lands in David's timeline. It has it's rough edges like you would expect from a solo hobby dev. It was released in 2015 after all. But it's a compelling little story. I appreciated the multiple options for problem solving, although I did get caught in a couple spots and had to resort to cheeky text walk through. Over all It's well worth the couple of dollars to experience if you're in the mood for a light horror/puzzle game.
Story spoilers as I understood the game:
My takeaway? The daughter needs to go therapy, see a psych probably get some meds and stay with her grandparents for a while. The mother needs to go to rehab see a psych, get some family counselling, and the family as a whole should probably stay away from pets.
Another of David Szymanski's works with a great art style, characters and very impactful story and message told through your adventure in another of his dark but captivating worlds.
Interesting little puzzle, horror game. I've been interested in David Szymanski's games ever since I played Dusk, which was a great boomer shooter, and I also enjoyed his free horror game, Fingerbones which is another great one to play on Steam.
This one is mostly a puzzle solving game with story elements and some light horror (very light). There are two areas that you explore though they are very small in size and you just solve puzzles by picking up different tools and items and using them in the environment to open doors, or interact with machinery to allow you to progress forward. For what little gameplay there is, I enjoyed it and it was a tad better then most walking sim, narrative games on a gameplay front.
The story is interesting but not completely captivating. There is voice acting for the mother character which is very good, as you have to occasionally listen to voice messages she leaves you as you progress. She starts out sweet and caring, like a mom would be, but she gets more and more aggressive as you continue to disobey her. However the ending is done completely through text you have to read, which is a little disappointing and the writing felt a little long winded that I mostly just skimmed through it rather than being immersed.
Still not the worst game to spend money on, but for the short length this game has its only worth it on sale. My recommendation if you're interested is, play it but don't look up any guides and just solve everything yourself since that's where the enjoyment really is.
Like every David Szymanski game, just go into it blind. You will be fascinated and confused which is a lovely combination.
Took me about a half-hour to beat but I loved it, very simple puzzles nothing super challenging or ground-breaking, but from an artistic/story-telling standpoint it's great, but also very saddening. In terms of horror it really is more of a "sad-horror", but the ending leaves you rather hopeful in a strange way. This is the 3rd game of David's I've played and I'm quickly becoming a big fan. Can't wait to dive into more.
