I watched 8-bitryan play this and wanted to play it for myself. Honestly a really good game and i hope to see more from you!!! I also used the game as a way to say I'm coming back to Youtube.
Day 1. of reviewing the horror games I played from Itch.io so far.
Kiosk is a brief yet chilling horror experience that plunges you into the unsettling world of a late-night fast food kiosk. Developed by Vivi, it nails the eerie atmosphere right from the start. The setting—a cozy, rain-soaked food stand—contrasts sharply with the bizarre and creepy events that unfold, making for a genuinely tense experience.
What I Loved:
The atmosphere is undoubtedly Kiosk's strongest aspect. The visuals, sound design, and odd customers all work together to create a constant sense of unease. Every interaction feels off, and the game manages to make even mundane tasks like serving food unsettling. I loved how the game kept me on edge throughout, with the occasional glimpse of something lurking in the shadows—exactly what you'd want from a horror game.
Areas for Improvement:
However, the game's ending felt like a major letdown. The sudden introduction of bombs made little sense in the context of the story. It seemed out of place compared to the buildup of creepy lore and weird occurrences. I would suggest a more fitting conclusion—perhaps involving the fate of the missing worker. For example, having him reappear and kill the player would provide a more coherent and horrifying finish, staying true to the overall theme.
While the core gameplay is enjoyable, there are some issues that detract from the experience. Some customer orders take too long, which disrupts the pacing and tension. Additionally, a few of the jump scares felt a bit clichéd, and while they got me a couple of times, they didn’t add much to the atmosphere. I also ran into a few bugs here and there, which impacted the flow of the game.
Final Thoughts:
Despite these flaws, Kiosk offers a solid and enjoyable horror experience. The atmosphere is on point, and the game succeeds in creating a sense of dread that sticks with you. However, the weak ending, long orders, and some overused scares hold it back from being truly great. With a few adjustments—particularly to the ending—Kiosk could be a standout horror title.
Rating: 7/10 – A good horror game with potential, but with room for improvement.
kurz und knackig! ist ganz witzig, aber die Scares haben mich ziemlich kalt gelassen. Ich hätte etwas mehr Druck gebrauchen können bei der Zubereitung dann hätte ich vielleicht auch etwas mehr die Deckung fallen lassen sobald ein Jumpscare kommt. so ist es einfach der Knive-throwing-simulator lol
war okay, aber sehr repetitiv.
Ein Radiowecker mit Musik, Schreien und oder Störsignalen hätte auch einen guten Effekt gehabt.
