Has a lot of room
For improvement. This game completely drew away from the visual concept the Hysteria Project1 introduced us to.
The entire "Choose your own adventure" concept has been taken away (Granted that you wouldve had to make the "right" decisions anyway to beat the game. But that just adds all the more fun into the game). The game lacks grip of scariness. There are little to no sound effects when Ortega (I believe the killer to be him) kills you, the WAY he kills you isnt all that scary, and as far as I even know the only time you actually see him kill you is in the first part in the bed if you dont get out of the room in time. Other than that you just get a "Game Over" screen, which isnt scary at all.
Another thing is the puzzles. They seemed way to difficult the first time around, however the "hidden messages" that they had threw some humor into the game. And I liked that.
Another thing that takes away from the game is the major cliffhanger at the end. It was severely annoying, there could have been at least some type of clue as to what happens, but hopefully (If BulkyPix decides to make it) Hysteria Project 3 will pick up right where H.P2 leaves off. (With Ortega blocking the exit and approaching you).
And lastly, the length of the game. Seriously? The only reason I spent an hourandahalf playing this game was because it took to long to figure out the puzzles. Without those, the gameplay would have lasted maybe twenty to thirty minutes, which is terrible. Hysteria Project 1 took me a good 45 minutes to an hour playing the the whole way through.
So, -1 star for Presentation
-1 star for concept
And -1 star for length
Hopefully Hysteria Project 3 will go back to the all video concept, and the "Choose your own adventure" concept that was introduced in Hysteria Project 1. Otherwise, this game series is going to lose a lot. This game seriously had a lot of room for improvement, especially after waiting two years for its release.
2/5 Stars. -DjRella
