Infliction: Extended Cut Reviews
I have to admit that despite its flaws, Infliction really impressed me. It has a deep and tragic story with well fleshed-out, complex characters. Not everything in here is wholly original, but a lot of it is. This game shows that Clinton McCleary has a lot of creativity and genuinely unique ideas. If he could make a game this intriguing by himself with hardly any money, I can only imagine what a talent like his could do with a larger budget.
Infliction: Extended Cut is basically an upgraded version of Infliction that was released back in 2018. There are lots of new content in the new version such is new endings, new challenges and tweaked puzzles. The gameplay and engaging atmosphere are still as good and offer one of the most horrifying experiences ever.

A little P.T. here, a little Layers Of Fear there, a little Project Zero there - the mix in Infliction is just perfect. Clean graphics, bombastic sound and a good portion of psycho-horror let the debut album Infliction become a top 10 title of the genre. It is to be hoped that developer Clinton McCleary will remain true to the horror genre and provide us with even more atmospheric games of this kind. So. lights out! Headphones on! And off into the darkest, psychic abysses!

Infliction is a horror experience that cannot escape from the clichés of the genre, however it has a highly respectable atmosphere and environmental interaction that we have encountered in very few other titles of the same type. The puzzles to solve with the camera make the experience more varied, unfortunately in three scarce hours of play we will use it very few times. Caustic Reality could have dared more and filed the imperfections of a game that remains recommended for ghost story lovers.

Infliction has some decent moments of storytelling, and the themes that it highlights are impactful. But my interest in those aspects dwindled every time I encountered a glitch or audio cutout. Infliction tends to fall apart shortly after it begins since it’s impossible to look past this poor quality.
Infliction: Extended Cut is a solid horror experience that succeeds in its strong atmospheric design. However, it is marred with some severe audio issues that deeply affected the experience, particularly in the final act.
Try as it might, Infliction: Extended Cut can’t match the mighty P.T. when it comes to playing with your mind or providing scares, but it has a good go at it. For a game largely developed by just one man, that’s a pretty great achievement.
It's not groundbreaking in the technical department or in its gameplay, but it's a well focused game that follows the basic rules of horror. As such, it delivers what it promises.
