About the game
Thanks to the financial crisis of 2008, Lorena migrated to Terminal 81 to work, but what seemed like a simple Latin American neighborhood, it was a dangerous region dominated by a mysterious criminal organization that carries out murders, kidnappings and human trafficking.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is cheaper than 63 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. The nearest things to it, Garten of Banban 7 ($9.99, scores 52) and Garten of Banban 4 ($9.99, scores 40), are both worse buys on this math.

What players say
This is definitely the best game made by this developer so far. It might not be perfect, but it's quite interesting and made me want to finish the story to see what was going on. I also love that sense of exploring a creepy town at night :)

me and my lil sis loved this game had so much fun with the tasks but they need to fix some of the bugs .. but overall its a great game with a great story and very funny dialogues
I saw someone play Terminal 81 in Youtube, and it looked fun so I had to purchase for myself! I'm telling you this game is something else. It is terrifying and entertaining all at once. I enjoyed it a lot. Played the story through in about 4 hours, and I couldn't go to sleep because I still felt the creeps even after playing, just like after a nightmare :D
