Holan - The Resurrection (Beta) & Break

Now, I thought I did this one last week, but I guess it didn't save or something, so I'll do it now (again). I downloaded this game randomly from Gamejolt because I wanted a horror game to make my friend play, and it was perfect for him. He is a wimp, and this is a game that is only as scary as you allow it to be. It's similar to Slender in the aspect that you're running around a maze trying to get 8 pages, but the enemy actually runs, physics (somewhat) affect him, you must get back to the beginning after getting all the pages, and when there, you find the ending. The enemy is very fast though, and you can know he's near because you hear it's footsteps, so you better start running. Once he discovered that he could run, and it was faster than the enemy, he beat it pretty easily, but it's still a long game in a sense that it's very easy to get lost.

This is my last post for a while, for I'm going to take a break for a while, I will start up again sometime in January, and I will have many more games (hopefully) to continue blogging

The 4th Wall

This is a horror/psychological game that originated as an Xbox 360 Indie Game, and eventually moved on to also be included for the PC. As you could probably guess by this short little game's name, what end up doing/attempt to do is to break the 4th wall (if you don't know what that means, then you haven't been sucked in by internet, and you're lucky). You're not really given any beginning info, and all you see if a circle, and there is you behind you, a black wall in front, a white wall to your left, and a static wall to your right. The game takes you through events involving those walls, and also take part with the big hanging thing that is over you (I'm not gonna even start guessing what it is). As you get closer and closer to the end, you can easily tell that the wall is closer and closer to breaking. If my memory serves me, there isn't a clear ending in the PC version, but there is in the Xbox 360 version. I first played this on the 360 when my friend downloaded it and had me play it because it was supposed to be very scary, and I really enjoyed it. It's good because it's got just a bit of horror to keep you on your feet, enough of a psychological feel to make you keep thinking, and of course, I enjoy anything that breaks the 4th wall.
