Hey there, my name is Johann. I love games! I love playing computer games and above all I love making games. I started at a young age with it. First it just was normal card games and other paper games, but once I got my own computer I soon started to mod smaller games. When I finally got my first engine (RPG Maker 2000) my dreams came true. Since then, game design became one of my greatest hobbies. My first fully produced game, AntiDark Matter, was made within 14 days. Graphics (Except the tileset graphics, which was made by Mataraelfay), sounds, music, coding, story. I submitted this game to the Indie Contest 2014 and hope to spread this horror experience as far as possible. Enjoy!
Reviews
First of all, this game looks good. In fact, it looks much better than so many "horror" games out there. Additionally, the Unreal 3 engine and the game run both with amazing performance. The instruction are very scarce, but it's enough to play the game.
Jumpscares... I am really not a fan of scripted jumpscares. They always have the problem that they are like a ghost train. You pay for the ride and what you get are no mechanics but few scares. They might be good (And in this case, the jumpscares were excellent and very atmospheric) but next time you ride the train, you will be bored as hell. I mean, you know the outcome, right?
The music and the sounds are also excellent and many "horror" developers should check this one out, to see (or hear) how it's done. The acoustic element is one of the most important in horror games.
Sadly, there was this last platformer puzzle wich was annoying (because there is no checkpoint in the middle of the puzzle) and also the demo ends when it just begins to get more interesting. There seems to be no story at all, which is also kinda sad, because there is so much unused depth.
All in all a very good, play-once horror game, which I would recommend my friends and other fans of the horror genre. This one has great potential. I am very excited about the full version.
9/10
cheers,
Johann
