I come back to this game like going back to a toxic ex. Play a few games -> realise why I stopped playing -> take a break -> start missing the feeling -> repeat.
You and three other Survivors wake up in a spooky murder realm and immediately agree on a flawless plan: 1. Split up 2. Touch generators you don’t understand 3. Panic when a man with a knife breathes too loudly The Killer’s job? Walk briskly and remind everyone that cardio is optional, but suffering is mandatory.
i think its a very good game there are some minor bugs that occur with assets but overall it wont hinder your enjoyment for the game (for the most part) for an indie game I would overall say its a 8.5/10! only downside is the community, bunch of fat insufferable millennials obsessed with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and moaning to the devs if a slight thing annoys them,,, poor devs
This game is an abusive ex that I can't get rid of and anytime I do, I hopelessly come back for more. Traumatised. 10/10 game.
its fun but i wish they would come out with dbd classic. it was funnier before.
Queue for a match > get in game > see its kaneki > dc > uninstall > launch hello kitty island adventure instead
