This game was my first try at this genre and honestly, It was fun.
Comunque un lusso per il suo prezzo trascurabile (0 centesimi). I 5 giochi hanno un discreto livello di eterogeneità.
Vi è una tema conduttore tra le varie esperienze, interessante ma esplorato superficialmente.
The Other Side: Nel gameplay tra i più carini, e l'atmosfera è resa tutta. Bel finale, ma l'entità l'ho trovata nel suo design poco impattante.
Control Room Alpha: Rispetto agli altri, perde un po' dell'approccio horroristico generale, andando a proporre una formula più classica tra aracnofobia, suspensina, e jumpscareino. Credo il più debole tra tutti. Inaspettate le pennellate comiche.
Carbon Steel: Il gameplay più coinvolgente, sempre integrato con la storia del capitolo. L'inclusione di 2 finali è un po' superflua, data la loro prevedibilità, ma almeno rendono il tutto un poco più immersivo.
Concrete Tremor: Interessante la "battaglia navale", nonostante ritengo impossibile che l'avversario non avesse gli x-ray abilitati, in quanto in 4/5 turni ti fa già il culo. Il più ""politico"" della collezione.
Tartarus Engine: carino, non avevo idea di che cazzo fare ma ce l'ho fatta comunque.
Le musiche le trovo molto ganze, e ho sbavato ogni volta che sentivo il suono del disco messo dentro la console.

horror is authority. jabbu and mike, please never stop cooking.
Alguns jogos de terror muito interessantes e com atmosferas interessantes. Menção ao "Carbon Steel", que é o meu favorito de todos os 5 jogos. É uma boa experiencia com jogos que duram entre 10-15 minutos de gameplay. Gostei de quase todos.
5 games. All of them delivering something different, while all following a theme of imprisonment, an authority being uncaring or actively cruel to you, and terrifying industrial complexes.
The Other Side has a nice flow, setting up a solid premise and allowing you to slowly learn the gameplay, only to put pressure on you with a timer. The ending, however, is nothing surprising.
Control Room Alpha is the shortest of the bunch. As such, it has the most simple tasks, and beyond the very end nothing too interesting happens. The theme of an uncaring authority shines here, though.
Carbon Steel was my overall favourite. Telling you to do different tasks to extract a sample from an unknown entity three times, with increased challenge including a time pressure for the final time. It offers the most engaging gameplay, the until then strongest atmosphere and presentation, and two endings, although it is not really puzzling to figure that part out.
Concrete Termor delivers the aesthetically most impressive experience. It is the one that abbreviates from machinery completely, instead opting for simple concrete blocks seemingly stretching into infinity. You jump to three different people. Starting out as a citizen who is treated like expendable trash, to someone in a helicopter wanting to shoot citizens, to the third and final guy playing Battleship with the apartments filled with people against someone else.
Tartarus Engine, which was specifically made for this collection, goes back to emphasizing the machine complex. It is, after Control Room Alpha, the most barebones and uninteresting in terms of bare gameplay, but delivers a very strong atmosphere and has some interesting and fucked sci-fi and philosophical elements going on.
Overall, this is really great, especially for free. I absolutely do not regret playing these, and might even return to some of them.

- uh? -
Una pequeña recopilacion de juegos de terror que realmente no dan tanto miedo pero si inquietan un poco con su ambiente, sus puzzles no son dificiles en si, pero se pueden complicar por lo oscuro que son xd.
No me parece de lo mejor o muy malo pero Personalmente no me terminaron de gustar.
