The CGs, sprites and backgrounds are well designed by the author just like the previous games. Too bad you don't have the option to adjust the sound and music volume so you could either play the game in silent while listening to your favorite music album without being pissed by the SFX or as it is. When you see Jessica getting blown to bits, there doesn't seem to be an explosion sound added along with few other sprites. The music seems alright but the SFX can be annoying, repetitive and most don't really sync well with the sprite animations. There is no continue or stage select at the menu unless you've completely beaten the game which means you have to start over after the game over screen, now some players could find this frustrating. When you are down to your last life, you get a nice gore or rape animation from enemies which makes it up to Demonophobia and a CG game over screen when you choose not to continue. There are some clothing damage for the loss of 2 lives and you can't restore them after eating donuts dropped from the ghost mustache so you will remain naked later on. Weapons placed along the way can be a bit useful but are very limited.
You simply have to fight your way through various enemies while avoiding traps till you reach the far right end which will take you to a new area. You press Z to jump, X to attack, A to attack with any weapons you pick up and S to pause the game. The basic controls are just like in the series. There are only 5 stages in the game, 1 - 4 has 3 areas while 5 has 5 areas and it gets harder as you move along. You start out as Jessica with 6 lives and unlimited continues.
Similar 2D Side-Scroller gameplay mechanics from the splatterhouse series which brings back the good old days. FYI the ending sucks and we don't get to see her in it :-P Armed with only a box cutter, she decided to flee the school while fighting for her life but in the end she manage to save the school from evil and things turned back to normal. A student named Jessica got knocked down from her after-school nap by an unknown force then she checked the corridor only to find people getting slaughtered or turned into monsters. A faculty member brought evil into the school by reciting the pages from the book which kinda reminds me of Evil Dead from the necronomicon. I didn't really see any interest in the story but it is pretty straight forward. Im gonna give my review bout this game here like I did on the ULMF: I have finished the game and it was not bad especially for splatterhouse fans. 52 death animations are planned alongside 17 CGs, 28 if their variations are included. I know, a bit redundant in the description. The death animations can look a little jerky and quick at times.Ĭombing over the game description the creator lists "Vertical Bisection/Skewered/Tentacle Rape/Threeways/Death From Explosions/Drowning/Trampling To Death/Dismemberment/Horizontal Bisection/Electric Chair/Wooden Horse/ Iron Maiden/Decapitation" as some of the possible deaths. The Splatterhouse influence shows in the background effects and boss appearance. Overall I really like the look of the game. As for the deaths there are quite a few ways to die, considering this is just a demo. It's also nice enough to start you on the floor you died on. The demo isn't all that difficult since all of the enemies, excluding the boss and traps, only take one hit to kill. Two straightforward sidescrolling sequences and one boss battle. Armed with only a box cutter she sets out to escape this nightmarish world. The screams of her fellow students echo through the halls whilst monsters wander about. She's awoken by the sudden shaking and transformation of the school. You play Jessica, a highschool student taking a nap after school. I put in a little time with the demo and here's what I found. There is a demo available (Big yellow button next to the game's picture). The game has been placed on the announcement page of DLsite.
