Ex: "With the rising popularity of digital downloads and bite-sized gaming, episodic content - games produced and sold in smaller fragments that build into a recognizable series - is slowly gaining the mindshare of the gaming consumer. Games sold in this manner can be appealing because of the small initial investment, and the allure of suspense between releases.
This Thursday, Sanuk Games will be releasing Hysteria Project to the US Playstation Store for $1.99. Originally released in the iTunes App Store by Bulkypix to dramatically wide-ranging reviews, it's very much a production that aims to follow in the footsteps of titles like Siren: Blood Curse, while mixing in light inspiration from Heavy Rain and even that old FMV cheese-fest for the SEGA CD, Night Trap."
The folks over at PS Vita Reviews decided to download Hysteria Project from PS Minis recently, and have gathered some thoughts.
"Hysteria Project is a very unique experience that hasn’t been a major part of the gaming industry since the early days of SEGA. While the presentation took a hit when stretched on the Vita’s screen and there are some issues with the game freezing/hanging when saving data, it’s a unique experience that any horror fans may want to look into."
About writes: "It definitely has its flaws, and you'll almost certainly finish it in under an hour, but there are so many good things about Hysteria Project that it's easily worth the price of admission. This is definitely one of the creepiest games I've played, and I'm looking eagerly forward to the promised 'to be continued.'"
Gamingxp: In fact, the whole plot, which is best experienced with headphones in order to improve the atmosphere, is described from filmed first-person perspective of an actor.
Man, it feels like even for $2 I should get more gameplay...looks totally ambitious though, at least visually.
looks cool
