Bloody Mary: Forgotten Curse – REVIEW
This review was originally posted on Steam on February 18th, 2019.
Bloody Mary: Forgotten Curse claims to be an open world horror game, which is debatable. Sure, you can explore an open island, but there’s only one objective: find the 7 items. Seem familiar? It is a Slender-like game. Are Slender games usually considered and categorized as open-world? Hum… I was excited at first, as the concept of an open world survival horror game is very interesting to me, but quickly realized there is not much of a player choice in this.
The game starts well, inside a cave, makes you wonder why you are here and where you are but then the problems start. First of all, you are supposed to go down a hole by traversing down to the lower rocks. The problem is, if you jump, you will get fall damage, if you just walk out of the platform, you might still get fall damage. My first death was here, because I jumped on the first one, and just let myself fall on the following ones, but when I reached the ground, I guess I had suffered too much damage. Is this supposed to make the player seem fragile from the get-go? If so, fair enough, it’s not really a big complaint, but it just adds to the list.
Once you are out of the cave, you find a list of items to look for. Here is where Bloody Mary and some weird wavy ghost start stalking you, I think? I say “I think” because all I saw them do was walk around randomly and teleport (sometimes right before my eyes). The store page claims the AI learns from the player but whether it does or not, I wouldn’t know. They didn’t do much else. The store page also claims you can evade them using stealth, but there is no such thing as stealth in this game. The enemies are not really scary, they just make the screen go crazy and follow you around. They’re not hard to get away from, even with the incredibly frustrating running mechanic.
You get tired in about 3 seconds and the screen start shaking violently for a couple more until you can’t run anymore and must recharge your stamina bar. The shaking especially is incredibly annoying, since we’re talking about an island with 8 landmarks to visit, a few minutes away from each other, with nothing at all happening in between. It’s just boring. I don’t know if the shaking was supposed to evoke panic in the player, but if so, it missed the mark by a long shot.
Some of the landmarks look alright, some look terrible, for example: the House and the Fishing Hut look like the exact same 3D model and texture, somewhat scaled into different dimensions. There are almost no details and it just looks extremely ugly. Most of them are also too small to be able to say you can “explore” them. Just walk in, if there’s no obnoxiously huge flashing blue marker (incredible immersion breaker) telling you there is a note or item inside, just leave. Others look better and offer a bit of exploration, like the Church. Even though it’s still very limited and lacking in detail. There are even some invisible walls! You walk between landmarks by following your map and your compass or by following directional signposts scattered around, where you can also save the game (which makes the whole thing incredibly easy, to be honest). There is also no location pointer in the map, which might be my favorite thing about this game.
And the bugs… Some of them are incredible, it’s almost as if the game was not tested at all. Some stairs you can’t climb just by pressing forward, you have to jump. It’s crazy. This happened multiple times in a lot of different stairs and stair models, it’s probably something to do with either the collision of the stairs, the collision of the player, or the way the player physics and movement are programmed. I’ve also been able to go through some models, and even made some of them disappear! For instance: I visited the Pond, and there was this monument in the middle of the pond, with a note. I read the note, there was nothing else there, so I turned back to go look somewhere else. On the way, there are these low branches you go under, but they are very close to your head. I guess when going back something happened between the collision of the player character and the trees because they just disappeared into thin air, and so did the pond and the monument in the middle. Only the note stayed behind, floating in the air.
The jump scares are bad. Just some loud noise (which sometimes cuts off before finishing) and something appearing out of nowhere. Typical easy jump scare which is not scary, just startling and annoying. I am not sure if they are all scripted, but it did seem like it. They also lack any kind of animation. I saw a girl / woman (?) running from one side of a room to the other without moving at all, and saw some ghost jumping from a balcony also without moving. The second one especially was incredibly bad. The ghost model just translated forward and down to the abyss and disappeared while a scream effect sounded and was cut off abruptly. It was actually funny.
As for the “story”, well, you do find some notes here and there, and you have a journal to store them in, but most of it seems to be random and not coherent, but that might just be because, honestly, after the whole experience, I didn’t even try to make sense of them. There is no such a thing as a “narrative” though.
This game is a great example of an unclear store page description that makes the actual game experience worse, because it makes you expect things that are clearly not in the game. If the store page described it exactly as it is: a slender-like game where you must collect X items and avoid Y and/or Z creature, I would probably have just kept on looking through the store.
The game is somewhat inexpensive, so if it seems like the kind of game you would enjoy, go for it.

Reviews for "Exploring the Psychic Realm with Punie Chan"
1. Mike - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "Psychic Witch Punie Chan" but was ultimately disappointed. The story felt disjointed and the characters lacked depth. The humor fell flat for me and I found myself bored throughout most of the episodes. I was expecting more excitement and intrigue, but it just didn't deliver. Overall, a letdown.
2. Sarah - 1 star - "Psychic Witch Punie Chan" is a complete mess. The plot is all over the place and the humor is forced and unfunny. The animation quality is painfully low, and the characters are annoying caricatures with no real substance. I found myself tuning out halfway through most episodes, as it became unbearable to watch. I do not recommend wasting your time on this series.
3. David - 2 stars - I tried to enjoy "Psychic Witch Punie Chan", but it failed to engage me. The writing felt lazy and relied too heavily on tired stereotypes. The attempts at humor were cringe-worthy and didn't land. The main character, Punie Chan, was meant to be a comedic powerhouse, but I just found her irritating. The show lacked any real depth or originality, making it a forgettable and unimpressive watch.
4. Emily - 3 stars - "Psychic Witch Punie Chan" had potential, but it didn't quite live up to it. The art style was unique and visually appealing, but the story lacked coherence. The humor was hit or miss, with some jokes making me chuckle and others falling flat. While the concept was intriguing, the execution fell short. Overall, it's an average anime that didn't quite deliver on its promises.
5. Jason - 2 stars - I found "Psychic Witch Punie Chan" to be underwhelming. The animation was lackluster and the story felt rushed and poorly developed. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked any real depth. The humor relied too heavily on over-the-top gags that quickly became repetitive. There are much better anime out there to spend your time on, so I'd skip this one.
