negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is the Shame of the developers. It has game mechanics from 10 years ago. The door opening part is a joke, it is just a time waster element with no real challenge. The NPCs are technically blind, they have this weird behavior, they instantly stuck to you. The screaming NPCs and the fire demon thing is so annoying it breaks immersion. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game plays very solid, which in 2023 is a true sign of the devs caring, however the story is well not really there and it takes awhile building up and even then you are not sure what is going on. The sounds are also sadly like most "horror survival games" and very loud, very loud does not mean scary it is just a pain in the butt. The combat brings me to the reason i am refunding, to escape from being chased you must line up the mouse correctly mutiple times in order to get the option to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you want this game wait until it goes 75% at least. This is a very good looking game with a decent little story but the mechanics are horrible. Combat mechanics need to be ditched and reworked because they are extremely horrible. Stealth is a huge thing in this game but too bad it’s useless. There’s way too many triggers that render stealth almost pointless. You’ve either got too many guards one route, too many staked guys as alarms the other route, or too many traps the final route. You…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think it's not bad. If you like stealth games this is for you. It's kind of sad that you can't explore because you always have to run and hide. The graphics are good and the story is ok. There were no bugs but the mini games are frustrating and there are too many enemies. I don't think it's worth 25€ and would buy it on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Watch this - https://youtu.be/cRwe8M2UjYA Broken ass game , I tried picking up the key 1000 times to open the door after burning the spider web , the key falls on the ground but no matter how hard I try I cannot pick it up , lol , thats just horrible cause I was really looking forward to your game .
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Shame Legacy Review: Frustrating Mechanics and Lackluster Action Rating: 3/5 Shame Legacy is a single-player horror game that combines jumpscares and atmospheric gameplay. While it has its moments, the overall experience is underwhelming due to frustrating mechanics, a slow pace, and a lack of action. The gameplay mechanics, particularly when dealing with zombies, can be irritating and difficult to master. It takes time to get used to the mechanics, which can be frustrating for players…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →was a fun game beat it in 3 hrs and is a achievement to beat in 2 hrs so is very short game but the story and gameplay was really good and spooky
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, first of all: I like the game! The graphics are nice and smooth. I had no bugs and no problems while playing. But: the story is rather flat and the ending also leaves a lot of room for interpretation. The gameplay actually consists of only 3 parts. First, sneaking around to find your way between opponents. I like that best because it's not that easy and there's a good horror atmosphere. Second, running away from the fire demon, and third, solving some mediocre puzzles. Then you also…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Im gonna make the review short.. No I do NOT recommend this game. Im okey with games being hard but I wanna enjoy the difficulty and this just felt overall no one even tried it themselves. The looks and atmoshpere is on point, especially for being a indie game BUT the gameplay which to me is the most important part isnt good and I were close to rage quit but managed to get through it. Buy it on your own risk, you have been warned..
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →AT LEAST THEY TRIED Despite unfavourable review, I believe the hearts and minds of the game developers were in the right place, just lack of experience made the game absolutely not worth your time and money. My full review can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKCXLwZymNA I like the initial idea of walking simulator enriched by stealth and chase sequences, but as mentioned above, it all falls on its arse due to the delivery of each. AI is braindead and blind, defense mechanic…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Aggravating. The animations are drawn out. Climbing or jumping off a ledge is takes forever. Stealth, whats the point of stealth when the enemy can "smell your vinegar." I'm hiding behind a tree and he's 20 feet away and just charges at me. Am I supposed to cross a river so they can lose my scent?

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →destructive creations released another little masterpiece, and by little i mean its a small game i wanted more.But it runs well no bugs , superb atmosphere, top notch voice acting , in general a nice horror game. 6,5/10. support the small developers and also check aout their previous releases, war mongrels and ancestors legacy both diamonds in their genre.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty scarry sometimes :D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought it on sale. Still not worth it. Its not all garbage, but voice acting is subpar at best, constantly takes control from the player, piss poor puzzle design, and often breaks what little immersion it manages to build. Had great potential, but the developers did not deliver. Sad.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →6/10 and thats being generous. The game story is great and alluring The mechanics and functions are what we have come to expect from games like this (aka amnesia, outlast) The game starts strong and pushes you into the piecing together what is actually happening, but about 2 or more so hours you let go of the concept as the games blaring issues arise. The "fight back" is inconsistent and normally you know you chalk it up to oh I didnt drink this, but even at full "sanity" you may get an…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Started out very promising but it was way too much sneaking and stealth for my taste, but that's just me. It was very unforgiving and frustrating at times. I'm glad I stuck to it and finished the game, but I'm sad the story missed the mark in the end.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has a nice spooky atmosphere and it does scare you from time to time. The mechanic of defending yourself is not the easiest if you don't have huge space for your mouse movement :D Overall recommended for spending 2h in a dark room playing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I Recommend This Game First 25 Minutes : https://youtu.be/3_Ws1P6gEws
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →S.L. is a stealth horror walking sim, very reminiscent of Amnesia and Outlast. It's quite pleasant to look at, and the history is suspenseful. With no major bugs or lad during my playthrough, this doesn't mean the game is free of criticism. And, the biggest complaint I have is that it leans too heavily on the "run and hide" tropes, where it gives no space to breath or sink in the environment. From the moment you start the game, you are faced with a chase sequence almost every step of the way,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent game so far, but the defensive "combat" system is beyond annoying. Even amping up my mouse sensitivity to align the icons does nothing, and most of the time as I do align them the icon I'm moving suddenly shifts far to the opposite side and I die. Or a random villager just kills me outright despite the exact parameters last time I got to defend myself were nearly identical. You also cannot rebind the keys. In the discussions it was said they planned to introduce the option, but it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty game, has a great spooky vibe but would not recommend. The game play is unforgiving, the story is lacking and not having an inventory was frustrating
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This indie horror game seems to have a lot of positive qualities. The atmosphere of the game appears to be well-crafted, immersing the player in a tense and spooky environment. The puzzle aspect of the game seems to be well-done, providing a satisfying challenge for players. Overall, it sounds like you had a good experience with the game. If you're a fan of horror games and puzzles, I recommended this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game opens with a thrilling chase scene and impressive cinematics, enhanced by Batman-style voice work. Initially, I expected to be playing a terrible game that I'd have to suffer through, but it turned out to be much better than many AAA console games I've played. As a fan of horror games always on the lookout for new experiences, this one exceeded my expectations. While the villagers can be a bit annoying and the game is on the shorter side, if you pick it up at a discount, it’s a far…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Death, surrounded me so many times, but I stayed resilient. Never give up, you never know the surprises that lie ahead. Great horror game, that no one has had the chance to hear about yet.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not going to win any awards, but if you like horror games, it's decent enough and worth picking up on sale. If you're poor better play doto 2 even if Shame Legacy is likely to give you less cancer.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I did enjoy playing this on stream with viewers but found the game itself missing one thing I want games to be: fun. I went in hoping to be spooked but found myself frustrated and on rails for an experience that has a lot of great ideas but nothing that felt put together in a great way. Key example: the Crucified people. WHAT A RAD MECHANIC because the blend of the atmosphere with the gameplay stealth puzzle. However, the voice acting was on a loop and because it’s sight based, the audio…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would give this a solid 8/10! I really enjoyed it! Wish it was a little bit longer but other than that it was great. The graphics, the scares, the suspense and that ending left me wanting more!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What can I say about this game....kinda disappointing? It could have been something good. But it was sadly let down by its game mechanics which felt tedious. One of the worst features was being able to defend yourself as it was badly designed. Not being able to change the mouse sensitivity setting for it made it frustrating. Also being able to defend yourself was random at points. Sometimes you could save yourself and others not even when your "panic" hasn't been triggered. The voice acting…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is bad. Not THAT bad, but bad nonetheless. The AI is pretty stupid, some environmental dangers aren't really dangers at all, and the puzzles are often confusing and boring, unlike the ones in other games Shame Legacy takes inspiration from. Now, although this is a negative review I DO RECOMMEND AT LEAST TRYING THE GAME, because all in all it's just an average B tier horror game. It just revolves around the same cliches and mechanics that are now overused in horror game and that's…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A survival horror game where you have memory loss! And blood loss. There's been a lot of loss. Navigate a strange village, avoid the fiery buildings, solve puzzles, and hope to run away from a big flaming monster. This game is well put-together and definitely creeped me out. Please see my video for my full feelings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysG97Z5Nrg0 Thank you!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an "Outlast" from AliExpress.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The developers should genuinely feel ashamed, embarrassed and depressed that they released this. This is awful, it actually might be the worst game I've ever played in the horror genre or in terms of my entire 800 strong steam library. This is outlast 2 at home, with a ♥♥♥♥ story, awful mechanics, insanely unfair artificial difficulty. Are any of the devs reading this? If they are, do one thing for me - close down. Give up on games. You all failed, hard. You don't get to try again.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →for the price, its not a bad game but the game does lack alot of things such as - puzzles are quite simple, even the "tough" ones just let you open doors that made you backtrack and you had no reason to go in them lol... - the sneak factor is good but doesnt seem viable, best to just run past everyone - completed it within a few hours, graphics are very good and atmosphere is nice too but definitely need more added to it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The main lesson that I learned from playing this game is that you can either wait for your problems to go away or you drink them away and alcohol is way more fun. ALCOHOLISM ON TOP BABY!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Please polish the game, overall it's good
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game... is a "shame" of a game. The story is all over the place for starters. The random flashbacks don't really explain much... and the fact that William ends up in areas inexplicably for moments just breaks up any continuity to the story. The voice acting was abhorrent to listen to. It was either their first gig ever... or they really "phoned it in" for this one. The gameplay is very very repetitive. The game tells you how to sprint... but don't get your hopes up... you'll spend 85% of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't recommend this game because is unfair when you get robbed by a villager you're unable to fight back with a cane in hand
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →thank for the game devs i did liked it i beat the hole game in 3hrs i had sum good jumpscares i had my fun and so did my viewers i would play it agn sumday i give it a 7/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game does have scary vibes and really fun scares. It's very frustrating at times though. It's really easy to aggro a lot of the characters I will admit that I did rage quit at least once... Some of the game play is a bit frustrating, but it definitely has a lot of promise and potential :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not much in there in terms of game mechanics, but an ok game to buy on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If I had to describe this game in one word, it would be MOOD. The atmosphere of the village is nice, the music fits well, but it's quite easy once you know how to play (it's not a bad thing tho).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You are William and have to escaped a village with possessed cultists. If you like stealth games with very stressful hiding and running sequences this game is for you! The story was kind of everywhere and nowhere but not really good in my opinion. You couldn't really explore anything and were just running away or hiding so that the story slipped into the background. I was very disappointed by the ending to be honest and very angry about the last puzzle. :D Is it worth 25€? If you like this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →6/10 + Gorgeous-looking game, the graphics are absolutely clean af. + Not buggy at all, I don't think I encountered a single bug the whole game. + Fun mechanics. The sound mechanic is quite fair. I like hiding in outhouses and boxes, I got absolutely blown away when I peeked too far and an NPC nearly opened my box. - Frustratingly narrow gameplay, which I think could be fixed pretty easily. Whether it's with a shout mechanic to call NPCs over to a certain location or some other form of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For a stealthy chase style horror this game is pretty good although quite short the game looks brilliant graphically. Its a game that you cannot just run in to things & does make you stop to think before powering on, learn the enemy movements & work out a path to take. Would reccomend this game to any horror fans who enjoyed the outlast games as this gives that run & hide type of vibe.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Destructive Creations is no stranger to controversy, but that is what makes them good. No holds barred, insane and frowned upon. I have to love them for that. So seeing them take on not just one new developer, but two is huge! This being Fairyship Games and Revenant Games first outing is a huge accomplishment for what it is worth. The graphics look great, disturbing and dripping in atmosphere. The sound design grips you in and has you questioning every place you go The puzzles are well thought…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Given the small number of reviews, I didn't think it would be a good game. It's a good game, but pretty short. The voice acting is phenomenal, as are the character animations and the portrayal of emotions. The graphics and optimization are also very good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I mean its okay its really short like 1 hour n something. Its straight on point and on a linear line, no side tracking nothing you follow 1 path start to end. 6/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mini-Review: Shame Legacy (PS5) To say it's better than I expected may seem like a backhanded compliment, but I didn't expect much from this first-person survival horror game when I started it. I wasn't sure I'd do much beyond check out the opening, but I found it interesting…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really liked this game but can see it would not be for everyone as well as other issues that just can't be ignored. Pros: - I liked the stealth - Atmosphere was great - It's story has a lot of great potential Cons: - It is very short - It isn't the smoothest game play - The ending was very meh. If this was half the price this would be a for sure yes but at it's current price I don't know if the value comes through. I give it a very VERY close pass because Meh isn't an option.

unlabelledView post →An ambitious first title from a small team but unfortunately the mechanics hurt the gameplay a lot in places. I really enjoyed the cornfield and wish we had a lot of that. I picked it up for under 10 bucks for a 3 hour game so that isn't too bad but would not recommend it at the hefty price of 24.99.
