Plot

We play as Arisa, a Japanese high school student who, together with her friends, ends up in a haunted mansion in order to verify the stories told about it. After entering the residence, the entire group passes out and later wakes up in a sinister cave. Our job is to find a way out and survive.

Mechanics

Action in Creeping Terror for PC, SWITCH and 3DS is presented from a side-scrolling perspective. Like in other survival games, gameplay focuses on exploration of grim locations (underground tunnels and the residence itself) and solving more or less complicated riddles. In addition to that, Arisa has to hide from many nightmarish creatures (she can only fight with them on special occasions) and, if it is needed, simply run away.

Technical Aspects

The 3DS version of the game has quite good visuals, but it cannot be said about its PC release. Nonetheless, the game’s grim atmosphere can be quite enjoyable thanks to the pared-down colours and the ominous soundtrack.
