Hey! The developer is doing a good job! :)
To start, the game is a good game. It's an eerie spin on survival. I like that perspective.
The game had a rough start, but many of the bugs have been addressed and it's now playable. It makes me feel really good the dev team listened and is now working on making a good game.
The game is kinda eerie. I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to do and I haven't made it past the first level... if there are levels.
From what I can figure out is that you start out stranded on a dark planet. Your ship is out of fuel so you have to collect meteorite fragments to make fuel. You also need to collect c-matter to make into food, ammo, and some other stuff.
You need the ammo because there are aliens that try to kill you --- actually, they're the natives and you play the alien. Anyway, they are creepy looking. The sound and music is well done.
Now that I've seen the dev team fixing things up and cotinuing to improve their work I think this game is going to just get better.
I'm looking forward to the game, Dev team! I hope you guys continue improving this game. Great job listening and reacting to feedback! :D That makes me feel good and thank you so much for responding.
I'm going to start following your studio. You've shown good customer support and interest in making your stuff great. I am completely in support of that kind of company! :D. I'm really enjoying this game. Haven't escaped yet, but enjoying trying\/failing\/re-trying.
Pros
- Atmosphere: very dark, dark, and twilight -- love the combination of Cthulhu and Plato (made me actually go read up a bit on some of Plato's works)
- Monster design and avoidance\/teleport mechanic
- Sound effects: creepy, appropriate for the Lovecraft\/Cthulhu mythos that it's partly based on
- Cool graphics, not for being high end but for being appropriate to the story and creepy. Reminiscent of some of the original black and white Twilight Zone episodes (the ones on alien planets or in space)
- So far the dev has been doing a lot of great updates
Non-spoiler tips
- Read the hints at the beginning of the game on the giant white boards (look all the way around before selecting New\/Load)
- Remember that you can save (don't have to just let things get harder with each fail)
- The game is meant to be vague and not have detailed instructions. That's part of the fun
- If you're having problems hitting the silent ones, try running backwards and waiting for the silent ones to move towards the center of your view, then quickly move to the side and shoot. I like Nightmare on Azathoth. It's an interesting survival game on a planet of darkness. Even daylight doesn't reach the ground, as the creatures you face push away all light on the surface. The enemies are troublesome without being ridiculous (except for the flying head) and are original in their simplicity (except for the flying head). I like the resource management, I like the giant floating monster that summons enemies to attack you when it gets close enough, I like the power system.
The only thing I don't like is the flying head monsters. It's not because they are annoying, it's not because they steadily glitch out worse and worse, it's entirely because of the fact that the flying head monster's model comes from the updated version of the game "Eyes - The Horror Game". This was a theft, as Eyes was made by a completely different person.
But, let's try and focus on being optimistic. Maybe it wasn't theft after all. Maybe Modesto Rabena got permission and used the model. No idea. What I do know is that it means that they decided not to make something original for the game. Even a different looking model would've sufficed.
In the end, I do recommand getting Nightmare on Azathoth. It's difficult in the beginning because of the lack of a tutorial but, you learn quickly by doing things. Once you learn the game becomes significantly easier but, it will still take you time to complete, and the longer it takes the harder it will get as The Silent Ones will become more numerous. It's a fun game, and I do enjoy it. Just wish the flying head monster wasn't so suspicious.
Edit: Upon seeing my review, the developer took time to let me know that it wasn't theft, and that they will be making changes to the flying head in both look and glitchiness. So now I recommand Nightmare on Azathoth even more, since the developer seems willing to fix bugs and errors in the game as soon as they are caught!. Scares the living♥♥♥♥♥♥♥outta me. Seriously though, I'd say this is a good 8/10. Graphics are alright, the lack of color makes the...fog, seem really freaking awesome, the Lovecraft influence is strong (ALWAYS a plus), the enemies scare the crud out of me, etc. Every time I die and start over I'm afraid to set foot outside again, and very few games do that. You have a gun, and usually the lack of defense is what makes survival scary right? Nah. The survival mechanics in this game (scrounging for ammo and all that good stuff) make shooting somewhat of a rare thing in this game. I still usually blow through my ammo starting off because the DOs are frighteningly creepy. The big floaty thing, creepy. This game, creepy. In a very very very good way. I suck at writing reviews but there isn't a good reason not get this game if it's on sale (a steal at 3.59 atm). You probably won't regret it. I didn't in the slightest.
Gee, I REALLY suck at reviews, ugh. Tl;dr = Buy game pls, is scare. Not the craziest epic horror game, but for an indie game it's very good.
Well I dont really have much to add, just wanted to vote up this game...
The character and HUD remind me a bit of dead space, which is great.
EDIT: OK this review feels a little lazy so I'll add useful info
You're a man whose ship crashed on a planet, you spawn in a base and have to explore the environment in order to find ressources to survive (food,ammo,other stuff used as spare parts...) you'll encounter various monsters that are pretty creepy (a huge flying head, a dancer-like slender creature that changes the music when it charges you...) overall the game has nothing but black\/white\/grey colors, it is very.VERY.VERY dark.
It's not for everyone, but it has its good sides such as a relatively challenging survival aspect, mistery, and an interesting creatures design.. Not the craziest epic horror game, but for an indie game it's very good.

It's not for everyone, but it has its good sides such as a relatively challenging survival aspect, mistery, and an interesting creatures design.. This game has a very dark and tense atmosphere, it is very creepy and obvious is the impact of H. P. Lovecraft , which was the first reason to buy it . The story is unclear , even you are not sure what are you are doing, you do not know what your goal is, which only adds to the tension and unease that the game has . Action is well done , sounds are excellent , although the overall impression is that the game needs finishing and polishing. Finally, I would recommend this game to all fans of horror .. Terrible game. Should really not be on the Steam store. Extremely unpolished, absolutely no tutorial and overall just a pointless waste of time. Developer couldn't evenbe bothered to include corpses. When you kill something it simple vanishes. Seriously, this should be an extremely rough concept for a game, not sold as a game in itself.. The game sucks...
