Great game that does exactly what it promises.
Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion is a great game. It is a very simple game in which you need to traverse trough rooms to progress. Each room harbors a monster or creature that will kill you instantly. You need to avoid it and simply run for your life. Initially, there is about a thousand different rooms so enough horror and scares for a lifetime, all in a free little game.
In the first rooms, you meet a cute ghost, and in the rooms that follow, a stupid little monster is coming towards you, easily avoidable. You take a look at his disgusting face, have a quick laugh and move on.
However, after 10 rooms, the chills go down your back as you suddenly need to do certain tasks before the door to the next room opens. You need to find items, pull levers or simply traverse trough some maze to find the right exit. When you do not have a straight path or goal, the terror that some vile thing is stalking you really kicks in.
The graphics are greatly done. The worlds are fully 3D and the framerate is butter smooth. The creatures and beasts are all in 2D, giving an unsettling contrast to the environments.
The sound and music in this game is nerve wrecking and when some ghost lady catches your @ss and is in your face, her scream can be felt trough your spine.
The controls are really simple, but a button to run is all you need in this endless nightmare.
Speaking of vile things that are stalking you, the different creatures and monsters can be really disturbing. Some just look a little scary, but others take control of your whole screen by smearing it with blood, images and horrible visions. It is these kinds of abominations that made me sh!t my pants.
Later on, the rooms are also getting f*cked up. Suddenly you are in space with 1 door in the middle of the room, this door leads to limbo, in which a monster is coming to you. If you can still move, you look behind you and find another door. When you look back, the monster is right in your face.
The whole gameplay loop is just going along and see how far you can get. However, experiencing new horrors and disturbing sh!t with every run is part of the whole charm of this game.
Overall, Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion is a work of art on its own and free to play. You just need a beer, some fresh diapers and a lot of ALT+F4 macro's assigned to your mouse and keyboard.
Definitely recommend this game.
