Frightence
Critic Reviews for Frightence
Frightence has some good ideas behind it and builds a creepy ambience around its eerie apartment building, but technical, durational, and gameplay limitations plague it alongside a scarce amount of content.
It’s hard to recommend Frightence, mainly because there’s just so little of it. Clocking in at under an hour of playtime, with no replay value, it’s tough to make a case for it. The idea is great, but the game ends just as things start to pick up and become interesting. It leaves off with a “To be continued” message, which leaves me hopeful that there is a more solid game in the works. As it stands, Frightence feels more like a demo or prologue than an actual game.
Games that are designed to give people a scare remain quite popular as a whole, but more often than not (at least on the Switch) it feels like developers exploit that audience rather than reward them, with Frightence being a somewhat sad example of this joining many others...
