So I've been following this game for a while now, and since it's on daily deal for -45% i was thinking that I might pick it up, however there are a few things, that I can't step over. I've been watching a few videos about the game, and I have to say that yeah it's scary, BUT doesn't it lack of content? I mean yeah the 3 different monsters are cool, but you have 2 ways to escape, and that's it. Not even a story, and the whole thing can be done in less than an hour after you get used to the game. The problem is not with the roguelike self of the game or the randomity, because who the hell wouldn't want to experience changing layout every time they play, but the game as far as I saw doesn't have any unlockables. You can't find other escape routes, or bigger maps can you?

This is my main concern about the game, that it's replayability is low even with the randomized level layout each time. Still better than Daylight, but not enough (for me at least).

What are your thoughts guys? Do you think the same, or do you have some proofs that it's not as bad as I see? Let me know in the comments, thanks!

When I saw it as milestone yesterday, I really thought about buying it today.

45% is kinda meh though.

Just like all the milestones...

Maybe buy it, play it for an hour and refund if you don't like it?

I might do that :D
But I don't really want to buy a game, which I know that I wouldn't enjoy
I mean I got Daylight, so experienced the horror of horrors, and trust me, even for free it wasn't a good deal.

Be sure that you can distinguish Daylight, Dying Light and Deadlight . So I'm still talking about Daylight, and it's a trainwreck. I mean the ghost or witch can't spawn before you. So if you don't look back, she can't hurt you. Also the level layout is random, but it's not that random. It also has really generic tasks, and it's boring too. Average tasks per level: Find 6 notes, find the artifact room, take the artifact to the sigil and go on to the next level. It has little to zero replayibility, and it doesn't even want to run on most computers, especially if you don't have Windows 7 Service Pack which supports DX 11 or Windows 8

Wait for it to be more that 50% off,maybe 66% or 75%.... I watched some gameplays on youtube, I think its worth it BUT not now..As you said it lacks content. For me 8 euros for this game is a little expensive. If they add more content and make the game better, I would gladly buy it even for full price.

It's part of the monster game milestone deal, so I doubt it'll get any lower this summer sale.

Am so thinking about getting this one. Loves my horror stuff, and it seems to look like it would be a nice addition, but just still dunno if it's worth it atm.
