fun and short puzzle and horror game, only downside is how slow the character moves

It's incredible that the game doesn't cost a single cent. Sure, If On A Winter's Night, Four Travelers is short without much in the way of gameplay, you mostly just run through hotspots without much puzzles or dialogues. But where the game makes up for everything is the fantastic presentation which, despite the reduced pixel visuals, knows how to inspire and the sensational atmosphere which draws you further under its spell from act to act. Whether you are trudging through a rainy, dark mansion or through the labyrinthine corridors of a library. The gloomy atmosphere drips from every corner, supported by a fantastic soundtrack. You almost feel like you're diving into Poe or Lovecraft short stories. And I'm very excited to see what else the developer Dead Idle Games has in store for us.

It's an hour long and free. Hard to complain, but it doesn't make for a satisfying experience. If the creator ever comes up with a proper game, I'll play it.

started to play this game due to brilliant backgrounds and art style, but this game is just a torture machine for ADHD players... god i just can't grasp to enjoy the Point & Click this genre is so boring for me even though i love story-driven games, and this game embodies the worst of this genre by making slow walking and repetitive tasks and with pixel graphic who is maybe 64-128bit very hard to see things, it become even more frustrating to keep playing... i had a rough experience trying just to finish this game even though it's short, which is a shame.

this was SO good. fantastic atmosphere and art direction. the fact that this is FREE!!! so worth the little bit of time it takes to play through this little gem.


El arte es fantástico y la ambientación da algunos grandes momentos, pero me parece que el ritmo le pesa. Los puzles se hacen muy lentos y el caminar aburre mucho. Hace pensar si no hubiera funcionado mejor como corto que como juego.
