The Cabin Factory Reviews
For the pricetag of £2.49, The Cabin Factory does its job and provides an hour or two of enjoyable playtime. It’s a short but sweet experience for those who enjoy both horror and ‘spot the difference’ types of games. However, it could have included improved scares and more anomalies to make the overall objective that much harder to complete.
Anomaly hunting in the style of Cabin In The Woods sounds like a great premise on paper, but The Cabin Factory falls foul of malfunction thanks to overly repetitive and bland gameplay, with too small an environment to maintain any form of tension. It does attempt some semblance of a story and it may do well as a quick experience for streamers, but there's little else beyond that to recommend it above established cult classics like Exit 8.
Terrifying and conceptually stimulating, The Cabin Factory is a must-play experience for fans of short and original horror games.

There are quite a few anomaly-finding games out there, but The Cabin Factory has a few unique twists that help to set it apart from the rest. The story is nothing to write home about, but let’s be honest, that’s not what most people are going to care about. What’s important is that the game is fun, easy to play, and delivers on some satisfying scares. It’s a short game, taking about an hour or so to see everything it has to offer, but for its low three dollar price tag, it’s well worth checking out.
The Cabin Factory offers a unique horror experience, focusing on psychological tension and atmosphere rather than traditional jump scares. The combination of liminal spaces, implicit storytelling, and industrial settings makes it a memorable title, leaving players with a lingering sense of unease even after the game ends. Despite its short duration, the game deeply engages and unsettles, proving that horror doesn’t need big budgets or elaborate visual effects to be effective. If you’re seeking a short yet intense horror experience, The Cabin Factory definitely deserves a place in your collection.
[...]The Cabin Factory ends up being a somewhat bureaucratic game. Almost everything in it has a decent execution, coming from people who know what they're doing, which is enough to attract the attention of a potential player. However, it doesn't captivate its public emotionally nor does it offer immersion, as players will see themselves in a position of more rationalization about the possibilities than really delivering a distress feeling.

I had a pretty decent time playing through The Cabin Factory. It’s a really unique and interesting approach to the horror genre. It definitely has the ability to eventually be a contender for one of the best. That being said, the ending (which I have and haven’t mentioned) really did disappoint me. I also found that once you were in the post-game and just had endless cabins coming at you that things got really repetitive for very little reward. I really am looking forward to seeing where this game goes and I will revisit it at some point but for right now, it just didn’t live up to the hype. As a result, I have to give The Cabin Factory the Silver Thumb Culture Award.
