Decent jump scares combined with an unnerving atmosphere make for a solid horror game, even if it's relatively short.
I spent roughly an hour and a half playing The Convenience Store. I felt unsettled for most of it and was thoroughly impressed how the smallest things would startle me and make me feel uneasy. Who knew a broken door could seem so ominous?
I would love to do another playthrough to get whatever alternate endings are available. My only issue is how SLOW everything moves. Knowing what to do now, it would feel massively frustrating trying to do another run at the speed of a snail.
I will admit, the overall experience left me scared and on-edge for hours after completing it. I actually had my girlfriend standing in a doorway and when I noticed she was there, I jumped out of my skin! It takes a lot to do that to me, so bravo on the lingering effects.
Overall, the game is decent. The scares aren't groundbreaking, but they are pretty terrifying! Though the control of the character is a bit slow, it adds to the uneasy atmosphere of the convenience store. Definitely give this game a shot if you have a free afternoon and feel like getting scared!
3.5/5.
