    Real Horror Stories is a Real horribly bad Game filled with bad point a click design and cover with cheap uneffective Scares. 0/10 Verdict: Unacceptable What is Scary is that it got Greenlighted

    I bought this game not expecting it would be any good, got it very cheap in a sale. Very minimum interface, just click 3 or so objects on the screen in the right order to get a so called jump scare such as a shadow popping out at you and moving across the screen or a severed head falling out of a tree. Wow woopdee do not scary or interesting. This game is slightly scary, sometimes it will cause me to jump but most of the time not. I think I've been desensitised, hardly anything scares or…

    The jumpscares are constant. The only way to progress is to click randomly on each part of the screen until something pops out and screams in your face because there's no logic to any of the puzzles.

    I bought this game because it was cheap and the screen caps looked similar to "The house" series. After playing through it once, here are my thoughts. Its terrible, just terrible, not worth the few cents I paid for it. This game isn't scary, or fun. "Game play" consists of clicking the screen randomly until something happens, which is usually a comically bad jumpscare. Not a grain of originality is present, it appears to be made completely of stock resources from the art assests to the sound…

    The very idea of this game is jump scare though graphics, sound and sudden pop of images during after after you solve the puzzle for each level. Very simple and very baisc. This game did just that. The graphics are very nicely done and sound effect is also excellant.(especially enjoy the wind howling). The puzzles are all pretty simple. I kinda lost count of the levels but there are less then 30 for sure when you reach the end of this game. Most of the puzzle are really easy and you can…

    This is the gameplay: You're in a forest. There's a candle, and some leaves you can click on. Light the candle repeatedly until something goes boo. Click on the leaves until something goes boo. Click on the thing that just went boo until something goes boo. There's now a crying old lady and a swing. Every time you click on the swing, something goes boo. Keep clicking until something goes boo. Then, the old lady explodes. There's a ripped and burned newspaper on the ground now. Put it together,…

    This is the pinnacle of horror gaming, pooped my pants like four times during my playthrough. Cloaked ghost is the absolute scariest entity known by man. I also do not get that puzzle with the three hanging corpses and I firmly believe the developers also don't know the solution to the puzzle, if there even is one. "I am not girl, but ghost."

If you're into rage quitting due to cluncky controls, annoyingly loud sounds and boring random clicking, then this game's for you :) Let's examine what this game claims to deliver: Real --> Nope, fake s**t Horror --> loud wailing and dumb pictures in your face Stories --> 404 stories not found

    Do you know what Real Horror Stories is about? It's about Steam releasing crappy games like this one... an oversimplified Point & Click featuring hidden elements, cheap scares and no story at all. I'm sorry but this goes below what I can tolerate. Rating : 1.0 / 10

    I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand…

    Endless clicking all over the screen to advance to lame jumpscares. The jumpscares happen so often I became desensitized to them. If you press tab and click you can finish this within an hour.(I left it open to get the cards) The "puzzles" are super easy save for one that made absolutely no sense. I was disliking this game within the first 5 mins, I played it through hoping it would get better. Nope. 1/10 giving it a 1 because there was one scene that did make me feel rather uneasy. uhg save…

    Vile, pointless waste of time. Not really scary, or even interesting. Requires no strategy, just contains envelope-pushing imagrey and a slightly less than junior-high level of maturity and creativity. Most of the time playing it I felt like the creators were thinking, "Oh man! This is really gonna freak the normals out!" But really, the game amounts to nothing but pointless puzzles and tedious jump scares... really?

    I finished it and I don't recommend anyone else does, or even starts it for that matter. The game is a series of still images where you click objects in a seemingly nonsensical order. You're rewarded with very, very cheap jumpscares for finding the correct order. There is a help page to reference for easily progressing if you're stuck. It just wasn't fun, at all - what I described is the game verbatim. There's no story, interesting mechanics at play, or even anything linking the different…

    'Real Horror Stories Ultimate Edition' is a point-and-click horror adventure. The goal of the game is to clear each level. At first, it may seem easy, but the choices are not always what they seem. This game features a horror story, a save feature with multiple checkpoints, an additional help guide (red spot) for when you're stuck, multiple jump scares, two endings, six puzzles, 17 levels, and 3 in-game dropping cards (from a total of 6 possible trading cards for the badge).

    OK, when you look at this game after finishing it, it is not a total wreck. I'm giving thumbs up for many reasons: the atmosphere of the game is creepy, the sound effects are quite good and the images are disturbing. Some parts of the game are really disturbing (specially when you get to hell), some puzzles are smart and put you to think. BUT the jump scares kill this game in many aspects.The nice atmosphere with creepy background music, good sound effects, and the really nice scence setting…

There is no gameplay to this "game", just imagine badly made powerpoint presentation in black and white - that is "real horror story" game. Now it is filled with the same cheap jump scares that gets old like 2 minutes into the game and to make it worse - you can't play this game!

I can't even remember when I purchased this game! Or Why! Apparently I have 54mins played, I cannot recall them! Honestly, skip this game. There are many others on Steam which are worth your time and money.

    Real Horror Stories Ultimate Edition is an Adobe Flash based 2D point and click adventure game/jumpscare simulator with a "spooky" theme. Click around on mostly static, low res 2D images to generate occasional jumpscares, that's all there is to it. It's bad, really bad. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no…

    going into it i wasn't expecting much but it proved to be even less than that. i would have recommended if it was even remotely coherent and was as it was titled. sadly it's just a bunch of jump scares and little to no brain power is needed to complete a 'chapter'. each one of them is about a couple seconds worth of scoping out where you can click and then proceeding to click in the right order but there's little introduction to ANYTHING (not the scenery, not the figures, not the corpses, etc).…

    Despite the low price this game may entice you with, it serves an example of lazy development and illogical / bs gameplay. The puzzles are a myriad of guessing and frustration, as they make them either leave with too little to go on or they make the objective far too hard to actually accomplish. Beating this game and seeing both endings is the biggest regret I have in this life. Do not touch this game, I beg of you.

This is pretty much just that but you have to pay for it. Also why is it called "real horror stories"?
