Subtle horror is more my thing. I like a good slow burn. That’s why the likes of Edgar Allan Poe, the Brothers Grimm, and Del Toro are more up my alley. If I was ever going to get into horror titles, then first-person point-and-click graphic adventures are definitely where I

Hunting Pearl Creek seems like a game that can be fun for those types of players who enjoy playing 2D Platformers, but it doesn’t seem like a game that has much replayability as it’s the exact same 9 levels over and over again.

I couldn’t return to Hunting Pearl Creek after finishing it, which is just disappointing.

The music is simple, but after listening for an hour or two, it became too annoying to leave on. The sound effects, however, from its beeping and booping as characters talk, the sound of explosions, and the pew pews from the laser guns, were all great.
