Player Comments on House of Horrors (A CYOA Movie)

Well, it was sometimes laughable (the creature's costume, and the set of keys which were obviously part of a toddler's toy set). But some parts (the body parts in the kitchen) were genuinely creepy that made up for it. This video definitely could have used some work, but the shine is there. Reminds me a lot of The Grudge. I'd like to see a video in this vein with a longer adventure and good backstory.

LOL! That was really good. Very creepy. Reminded me of Blair Witch. The film is too dark, but you know that already. Good use of items. The acting was good too; I really liked this one. Excellent job! That arm in the bucket looked real.

Very good and entertaining. It's kind of like Blair Witch meets Suburban house during Halloween. All the items found worked in the game for the most part, too.

Well, lets start with the cons. The audio quality is horrible. The fake body parts were more funny than scary, and it really sucks that you can only view this game with Internet Explorer. Who the fuck uses Internet Explorer anymore.

Other than that... It was awesome! Really, really, really creative. I seriously appreciate all the effort that must've gone into making this game. Despite the terrible audio and cheesy fake body parts, I actually found it kind of scary. Especially the guy in the plague doctor mask. That guy genuinely freaked me out.

As an exploration game, it's really, really well made. I was genuinely nervous every time I opened a new door and even when there were no monsters I just loved exploring the rooms and checking out all the creepy stuff that was in there. Also, the acting was pretty good. You guys got the fear across really well.

All in all, I think it's a real shame that a lot of people don't appreciate all the work and creativity that went into this game. (Or more likely they just couldn't figure out how to get the videos to work.) But from me, this game gets a solid 8/8. Really appreciate all the hard work and creativity that went into it. Must've been really fun to make. ^_^

I quite enjoyed that. It was very creative to use videos in your CYOA; I don't think I've seen any other stories on the site do that. I also felt like you put a lot of effort into the clips. Obviously you went to the trouble of setting multiple rooms in the house with props.

The atmosphere was great. I could feel the tension. I also felt like the way the protagonist spoke (heavy breathing, etc.) conveyed his anxiety. I wish you had had him react a bit more loudly when he discovered horrible things (SPOILERS:) If I were to discover a dead body or dismembered body parts, my first reaction would be to scream.

You also made clever use of items. There were a few puzzles to be solved in this, but they were relatively easy to figure out (in a good way). I feel like the bad ending scenes could've been made a bit more scary -- perhaps also by adding some realistic screaming from the protagonist.

Good work overall. 5.5 / 8.

boring

It is a bright idea actually! Yeah! Fun indeed!

would be nice to be able to see the videos in more browsers

I didn't like how every time you fail you restart.

I liked the addition of the video component. It shows that you put time and effort into this.

Very creative! Awesome idea! A little tricky at first, but finally caught on. I admit, I jumped during some parts, ha!

I loved it. I had to win,I tried over and over and had to use my brain for everything. It was really cool.
But I don't at Reeces.

It was a fine story, but you should have given more clues to what was behind each door.

it was good, can't wait for more!

I found this incredibly lazy as far as plot, descriptions, and general world establishment goes.

It's good just at first I didn't realize I had to use the objects to get anywhere

I'd say this game is alright. OK use of items. But I did like it.

Not bad, I definitely like the principle, but the lighting/acting/sound will need to improve.

After deciding to use tools to kill the things, TWICE, I now feel like MC Hammer.

Not bad.

Well, what I was able to play was fun. I like the concept of a video based game but it was so SHORT.

ok... needed a little more lighting cause i couldnt tell what was happening untill you got to the brighter lit areas. To tell the truth though, i woulda left dale after i killed the dude with the skull... sorry bro... better him than me.

Bwahaha the the dead body in the fridge was freaky and the hand in the bucket... scary. But why isn't this under Horror?

I just had to play it again. Really fun horror adventure story. Well made, a little cheap, but what do you expect. I would like to see another sometime.

Very awesome game. You guys did the best you could to make it creepy with what you had, but the creature and key set seemed a bit silly. I just wish there were more of these

had to play this again. its great.

That was awesome, and the bloopers were good too lol. Really fun, 8/8.

so fun

8/8!!

lol, that was great. It reminded me of the blair witch project...

That was so cool! I'd pay money to see a full length professionally done one. Probably more money than for a regular movie too. PLEASE MAKE MORE! Any story line would do if that was written it would have kinda sucked but in video form it was great.

Whoa, neat! The darkness kinda works, in a weird, low-budget horror film kinda way.

Loved it. Especially the creature in the room.

I FINNALY BEAT OIT! You scared the crap outta me! And I loved the bloopers.

Cool game! That was pretty awesome! And I love your use of items in this game! Overall, excellent work!

That was kind of creepy.

Creepy, but good. Very good indeed.

Pretty good.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hehe ... interesting though short...

nice experiment!

sweet!

i played this at school so i had no sound but i still liked it. i loved the blooper where the toilet paper was thrown at the "creature" lol. anyway, what was the toilet paper supposed to be used for anyway? great game.

nobody rated it so I did. It was okay first time I played it. I can't belive nobody rated it yet.

Well, I got Windows Media Player 10 and I finally saw those clips. Now I see why this game is awesome!

Better then I thought....

Amazing game, very original, something new for a change.

This was mad awesome yo!!!

Cool! This is the best game on the whole site!

Great Job! Very cool. I'll probabbly have nightmares!

that was really cool me and my friends make movies all the time and i have to say that must have taken u a long freakin time to make. the video quality could have been better with some more lighting....o well
bye

Hey, I actually got through the game, and watch the video bloopers to, funny. Good game.

The exterior shots are soooo dark. I thought it was interesting and it was fun. Sounds like George was having asthma attacks when he enters the bedroom and it's too dark to see anything. What was the toilet paper for anyway?

Absolutely amazing!!! There need to be more games like this...George come home now!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! Cool.

A MOVIE? Where are the movie clips? They don't show! What's going on here??

Terrifying! Truly a masterpiece! I applaud you! Make more like this! ***** (five stars, not a swear word)

Outstanding! I turned off all the lights in the room and got into it! I see a future for these games on MAG.com and i cant wait for part II!!

I can't believe how good that turned out. As a first attemped it was great. When's the sequel coming out!?!

That was awesome, you guys need to do more of these.

not bad if I do say so myself. Can't wait for the next one.

Wow! That was great stuff. Took me a while to beat (was a bug in the bedroom and I got stuck :-( -- but hopefully that's fixed now). I'm real impressed and look forward to taking part in the next one!

THat was seriously awesome, I think I picked the middle person which is dale and it picked the person to the right. My new favorite game. I want to be an actor in a choose your own adventure game.
