I have been on a kick lately with short games. Because I’m a parent with a hectic job, it’s really nice to be able to beat a game in just a few days.
I’ve played both Plague Tale games (10 & 20 hours respectively), Stray (7 hours), and Alan Wake (10 hours). All great stories, very atmospheric, and felt like just the right length for what they were.
Any other good story-heavy games that are pretty short? Throw any and all recommendations at me!
Pretty important to go in blind with this one! It’s a great game!
Hey Op don’t play it in front of the kids, you’ll thank me later.
True!
It’s not a horror game though. It’s more of a creepy tension. And some bloody bits. Overall it’s for the atmosphere you play it, you really get sucked into the mind of the protagonist.
See, you get my worry. The tension’s not bad, just a lot for the kids.
Very true. :)
There’s a bit of gore in there too, not much, but still.
