Song of Horror Complete Reviews
Song of Horror has that something that keeps you going, wanting to learn more, unravel its story, and then go again. From one survival horror fan to another, give Song of Horror a chance and you might be pleasantly surprised.
Song of Horror isn't the most graphically-impressive horror game I've played in recent years, but it does deliver where it matters most: intense, unrelenting terror. I'm a big fan of classic third-person horror titles so this game definitely spoke to me and made me pine for more retro titles in the same vein. If you like Resident Evil or Silent Hill don't hesitate to check out this Lovecraftian nightmare.
Song of Horror feels like a complex mixture of all the cliches in horror media we can face. Those elements were put too much in the game that it fails to build its own uniqueness. And the system which could be special characteristic didn't work well that it becomes just an ordinary horror game.

Song of Horror is a decent horror game with enough scares to make me a jump a number of times, and should satisfy most horror game fans. There’s no combat in the game but be aware of permadeath. The option can be turned off, however this added some extra tension to the game making you care about your character(s).
As strange and unprofessional as it sounds, I’m going to tell you that Song of Horror is only getting a sub-par score because the developers allowed such a dangerous bug to both exist and hang around as long as it already has. The game itself is an incredible homage to classic horror games with just the right amount of modern-day infusion to allow things to run smoothly (when they are running, that is). Bug-free, Song of Horror is scary for all of the right reasons and is absolutely worth checking out. However, in its current state, I’m not so sure that it’s scaring players in the way that it intends to. At least the PC version supposedly works just fine!
Song of Horror is a lot of fun and kept me on my toes, there is a constant feeling of tension as you play it due to the ominous Presence that lurks all around you and also the fear of perma-death is its own threat. Whilst there were a couple of bugs and the graphics (especially the faces) could be improved, Song of Horror is an extremely entertaining and solid indie horror game.
An actual horror game that perfectly delivers fear to the players. Unlike other traditional horror games, the fearsome AI constantly evolves based on the player’s actions and decisions. Clever jump scares are hidden all around the corner but some of the UI and insanely difficult puzzle elements somewhat misdirect the atmosphere of fear into frustration.

Song of Horror is a story-driven, quality horror affair. However, not everyone will like it. The optimization is a bit lame and the camera made one quite nervous more than once (déjà vu like in Resident Evil 5?). Investigating the place and reading minds is a long haul, as there is a lot to explore. So patience is in order. But the reward is a complex fine story and a grand finale with several possible endings.
