Description Worse Than Death is a 2D survival-horror game with a mix of pixel art and comic book-style illustrations. You play Holly, a young woman who hasn't set foot in her hometown since graduation and is now coming back for a high school reunion. You're only supposed to spend some time with your best friend Flynn and reminisce about your high school days (and the terrible accident that killed his fiancee/your friend Grace)... but things are going to escalate quickly. The game plays out over 7 chapters. There are multiple puzzles to solve, quite a few jump scares and a monster you must hide from. You barely need any reflexes to play, however, as avoiding the monster is more a matter of observation and patience than lightning-fast reaction. There are three difficulty levels that only affect when the game saves and how many lives you get. Nightmare (the highest of the three) must be
Worse Than Prom Night Taking a step aside from the completely narrative-driven Home, Worse Than Death aims to deliver a more straightforward story, while also expanding on the gameplay mechanics to present a more familiar horror game. And it does deliver, although without much of an aftertaste. Playing as Holly, you return to your hometown for a high school reunion, which begrudgingly wakes up some painful memories for our heroine. Soon she finds herself racing across town to solve a murder mystery, while hiding from a murderous presence that stalks her every move. Worse Than Death won't win any awards on its gameplay alone, which consists of scrolling left to right through areas, avoiding enemies by hiding in convenient dark spots while also managing your stamina and solving puzzles along the way, but with the pixel art/drawn close-ups presentation and excellent audio, the sense of urg
My Playtime: 5.4h (100% achievement, finished the game thrice) My First Playthrough: 3.6h Grindy Achievement(s): No. Optional Achievement(s): Yes (19 achievements).

The game was split into 8 short chapters with some checkpoints in between. Pros: - Jumpscares are not scary, but they will definitely surprise you - Cleverly done puzzles where you need to figure out how it works on your own Cons: - Unnecessary difficulty selection - It can be hard to remember everyone's names Specs Intel Core i5-9300H 2.40GHz, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Should you buy this game? Yes. If you like sidescroller thriller games, buy this game at a sale. It's not scary, but there are some pixelated gore elements in the game. In-Depth Review
This game was...okay. I'd say the only real reason I'm giving it a thumbs down is because comparatively pricewise, there are other games that have done much more for the same amount of money. The story is...fine. It's fine. Holly comes back to a 10 year class reunion to meet up with her best friend Flynn after she left town for college after a tragedy struck. As befits a horror game, stuff goes sideways real fast. It's not that the story is bad, per se, but moreso that it's executed in odd ways or badly paced. Reveals happen multiple times so you're like "Yes, I get it", character deaths mean almost nothing because you had one conversation with a person, there are huge plot points that don't get addressed. Which is unfortunate because all the reasons and pieces are there and the connections make sense, but the threads are real weak. The pixel art is quite good with a variety of locatio
The comic book-like story graphics are superb, but everything else is a letdown. The "stealth sections" are too easy to take seriously - even other indie games have more complex monster behavior. The story is a mass of cliches that aren't even that well put together. It makes less and less sense the more you think about it. Honestly, it's really kind of a shame they wasted such a pretty character design on this schlock. Maybe they should try again with a better writer and sweep this first try under the rug?
Worse Than Death. The game’s title is just begging to be used against it, but no—I will take the high road. Unfortunately this high road is bumper-to-bumper with truck nuts and middle fingers, so it still ain’t going to be pretty. What we have here is an anemic point-and-click adventure game with spooky trappings that doesn’t have a single interesting idea. Almost nothing in its cliched mystery, cookie cutter puzzles, bland writing, nor its cartoony art style feels fresh. The only mechanics that aren’t cribbed wholesale from its predecessors are those deployed in service of the nominal horror element: a stamina meter, hiding places, and obstacles that must be vaulted. However, hiding from ghosties is dead simple, the obstacles serve no purpose that I could ascertain, and the stamina meter’s only impact to gameplay is that for painfully brief stretches you can run faster toward the cred
