Some aspects of the game’s visuals are mediocre, such as a snooker table in the basement that looks way too shiny, while the framerate appears to be erratic in places.īy far the worst aspects of Evil Inside are its writing and voice acting – both are terrible. Though that’s not to say that Evil Inside is technically impressive. We played through the PS5 version of Evil Inside, which perhaps made for a more immersive experience thanks to the realism of our surroundings. And once you’re done, there’s zero reason to go back. The real kicker is that you’ll have probably completed Evil Inside in less than an hour. We won’t say how many loops there are because that would spoil things, but within each loop there are new scares to be found and the odd simple puzzle to solve. Travel through the corridor that it reveals and you’ll find yourself in yet another loop of the house. Pick it up and yet another door opens behind you. Ultimately, once one or more jump scares have occurred or you’ve interacted with an item, the door to the basement will open up, where a piece of Ouija board can be found. You basically make your way through the house, examining any rooms that are open. Gameplay wise, however, Evil Inside leaves a lot to be desired. It’s not clever horror, but it works as intended – how can you not jump out of your skin at a sudden loud noise accompanied by a gruesome image? From apparitions suddenly appearing in front of your face as you move through the corridors of your house, to the lights momentarily flicking on and off to present a ghastly sight in front of you, Evil Inside loves using cheap tactics to momentarily scare you. From a spooky lady assumed to be your mother peering down at you from the floor above, to the cries of a child, the tactics employed here to put you at unease are predictable and unoriginal.Īnd then there are the jump scares – the many, many jump scares. Then you start playing and discover that many more elements are familiar. First, there’s the fact that it’s laid out pretty similarly. Taking place pretty much entirely in the family’s house, Evil Inside gives off a P.T. Though does he really want to discover the truth of what happened to her? Keen to contact his mother, he seeks to put together a broken Ouija board. You assume the role of Mark, the eldest son in the family. Arrested for the crime, he’s now serving a jail sentence. The father of the family reportedly killed his wife and threw her body into the bottom of a well. Basically, there was a nice, happy family, but things went wrong. Though that doesn’t mean horror fans should rush to buy it.Įvil Inside has a premise that’s becoming a little old now. is next to impossible now for most, while Evil Inside is readily available on nearly every format imaginable. Its saving grace is that actually playing P.T. so much that it’s hard not to consider it a blatant rip off at times. You see, Evil Inside, a new horror game from independent game developer JanduSoft, imitates P.T. is over in the corner blushing right now. They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
