About the game
Horror Story: Hallowseed is a story-driven psychological horror game. An obscure event causes two of your friends to disappear while you were camping in the woods. Left alone and stranded in an unknown place, you need to seek the answers about what happened, face the horror and find your friends.

The value story
Across all 41 discounts in the 6 years tracked, the median cut is 50 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is pricier than 74 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 83 percent. Dollmare ($4.99, scores 86) outscores it, and so does Find Yourself ($6.99, scores 51). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
First off $20 for this game is insane. Def wait for a sale. Second I have a pretty nice computer and the stutters in this game are horrible. Decent game tho if you get if for under $5. Even still I was very happy it was over lol.

This is not a game, it is a walking simulator with jump scares, Also no puzzle no story nothing.
And finally I played Horror Story: Hallowseed. If I had believed the negative reviews, I would never have bought this gem. "Walk simulator with jumpscares" kiss my ass. Hallowseed is a game that I see has been unfairly treated by malicious reviews, with the intention of harming the developer. You can see how much work Jeff Winner put into this game, and that's not what you see in these devs nowadays who only care...
