Indie Survival Horror Game: The Curse of Blackwater – It’s Fu****g Scary
Since games like Slender Man The Arrival, Hospital, Prison or any-other-place-that-gives-you-scares were released I fell in love with Horror-Survival games and today I want to review The Curse of Blackwater.
I saw a trailer of this game on YouTube and decided to pay the $9.99 for this game. After playing it again and again I don’t regret a penny spent for The Curse of Blackwater.
The game is based on the Unity engine, it looks really good, and is a great indie game.
The game starts with a little introduction of our Protagonist who is on his way to his “working place” as a Paranormal Investigator.
So you know, Paranormal Investigators find it cool to go alone, without any means to contact the outside world, with a flashlight that doesn’t even try to light the way, and of course they forget those damn batteries.
The place that the player visits is called Blackwater Maternity Hospital and if I think about it, it wouldn’t be too bad to visit such a place alone… If there wasn’t something there that scared the s**t out of me, then tried to hunt me down and kill me.
As soon as you enter the hospital, you come very quickly to what looks like the child-birth station. When you hear doors closing and little girls with their creepy voices… That was the first moment when I looked through my room in hopes there wasn’t something around me that could scare me in any way.
Enemies
As we go ahead we find our first enemy = a “cute” little girl.
This girl calls out to you and when you find her she stares at you, she frigging STARES on you with her cold dead eyes, then loud music starts and the hunt begins.
That was a really scary moment in gaming for me, Slender vs that little girl is nothing for me. If I see a man in a suit I think:
“Hey man awesome suit, but your face is kinda missing.”
But if there a little girl ghosts involved? I go just crazy. I screamed like hell and just ran and the damn hunt music just wouldn´t stop.
Further in the game there are more enemies, and every enemy has another strategy required to avoid them.
Bugs
I found two bugs in the game. The first one is that I’m able to open doors into the wall and can`t close them anymore. The second one is that the music when a monster is hunting you sometimes doesn`t stop.
But these bugs don’t really matter to me because this game is just freaking amazing. I like to play it and hope the Developers bring out more of these games in the near future.
The gameplay is like other Survival-Horror games… Pretty “easy” you search for keys, press buttons, and gather batteries as you go through the game. But maybe it’s because of this “easy” gameplay these games are so much fun for me to play. Of course, these games aren’t for everyone, but I love them. I just love it when I sit at midnight in my room, everything is dark and then these games scare the s**t out of me until I can’t sleep anymore.
Conclusion
I really recommend this game because the atmosphere, sound and the enemies. Everything just scares me really badly. If you’re a fan of good Survival-Horror games and you have $10 to spend for this awesome game you won’t regret it.
I want to thank Marc Steene (Project Lead) and Wray Burgess (Level Designer) for making this great game and I hope they get enough support to bring more awesome horror games.

This is actually my first post in english so it would be great to get some comments on how I was doing even if it’s just criticism, but if I never start I will never get better so give me your opinions on what I could do better in the future because I want to do more reviews over games that I love 🙂

Reviews for "Heroes of Might and Magic: IPhone Edition vs. Other Mobile Games"
1. John - 2 stars - The iPhone version of Heroes of Might and Magic is extremely disappointing. The controls are clunky and difficult to use, making it frustrating to navigate through the game. The graphics are also subpar compared to the original version, making it feel less immersive and visually unappealing. Additionally, the touch screen controls do not work well with the gameplay mechanics, resulting in a lot of missed inputs and incorrect actions. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this version to fans of the series or anyone looking for a quality mobile gaming experience.
2. Sarah - 2 stars - As a long-time fan of Heroes of Might and Magic, I was really excited to try the iPhone version. However, I was let down by the poor optimization and lack of smooth gameplay. The game constantly lags and crashes, making it nearly unplayable. The interface is also poorly designed, with small buttons and menus that are difficult to navigate on a small screen. It's a shame that such a beloved game has been converted into a subpar mobile version. I'll be sticking to the original game on PC for a much better experience.
3. David - 1 star - The iPhone version of Heroes of Might and Magic is a complete disappointment. The game suffers from constant bugs and glitches that make it unplayable. The AI is incredibly dumb, making battles feel unchallenging and unsatisfying. The graphics are also outdated and lack the detail and vibrancy of the original game. Furthermore, the game drains the battery life of my iPhone incredibly fast, which is frustrating when I'm trying to play on the go. Overall, I regret spending money on this version and would advise others to avoid it.
