From the misspelled title, to the just weird shit around, this was absolutely a kid’s first game. We made fun of him a bit, but we also made fun of each other. I guess that’s normal. The descending horror was the friends we decending along the way.
Let’s start this review that this was, from what I can tell, a young dev making their first game. He had an idea, started developing it, and then finished it. I’ve never built and finished a game, so honestly, that’s pretty cool.
Descending Horror is a climbing game where you try to descend into a dark cave. Why you want to go down is unknown. The story is pretty sparse, with only a few notes around as you explore, so you will need to use your own imagination as to what the game is trying to say. Basically, just go down.
Since there’s not much there on the story, let’s talk about system stuff. The game actually runs nicely. actually. Other games I’ve played have chugged on my low-end computer, but Descending Horror runs well. I didn’t run into a lot of crashes, though we did eventually have one that basically told us to not do a certain thing and it wouldn’t happen. (The first NPC crashes when we come through the second run through, it’ll crash instead of a flashbang.) You can save and load, which is definitely you’ll want. You’re not able to change your binds, but that’s as something that will come in a future update (maybe). All in all, the system stuff? It’s okay. Oh, if you’re looking for an achievement, you should probably go somewhere else. Currently, the only achievement is bugged.
The actual climbing down stuff? It’s very slippery. And your character jumps extremely high. Put all that together and you should probably you probably shouldn’t jump much. Once you’ve got the hang of it, the game gives you plenty batteries to allow you to explore places. There’s not, like, a lot to explore, but there’s some stuff around. There’s an enemy or two in there, so just be ready on that.
There are some things that could probably need some work on. Mostly, typoes. There are a lot. The game itself is actually named Decending (sic) Horror in the game, and you find yourself going futher (sic) at times. There’s a bunch, but it doesn’t really hurt anything. Would just be nice to have that fixed around.
All in all, for a kid’s first game, it’s okay. It’s very much a kid just trying to make something and it won’t really any awards or anything, but if you want to kind of mess around and play with it for an hour? Sure, why not.
