Soon after you arrive, you discover that there is more to this house than meets the eye...

  • A dark classic mansion environment to explore
  • Interactive Lights, doors, and items
  • Music & Voice Acting

About the Development

Eight is the product of a single month of development, by two developers. The aim of this, and other Katelyst projects, is to learn and improve upon our development methodology. The game was built using Unreal Engine 4, The Horror Engine, and the Classical Mansion Asset Pack.
We aim to gather as much feedback from players as we can and pivot our projects according to what our players want.
This product has been made within one month and serves as an experiment of our work methodology, and will not be updated after release.

about the game, we have and we say the lighting in the rooms is lacking the lens when opened is very intense so you lose details and something last in a horror game should at least there be even a little atmospheric sound in something that does not exist is another bad game. below is a link game video related to the game} https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip7LeynhFN8

Flashlight brightness level 1000/1000 Without it you are blinded because of the darkness, with it you are blinded because of the brightness, it makes it unplaybable for me.

I can't recommend this game without a settings menu. :( I can't see anything in the rooms that are pitch black. If I turn on my flashlight, I am blinded and can't see anything in front of me. A brightness and/or gamma slider as well as a way to adjust my resolution would be a great help. Otherwise this seems like a pretty cool game that is priced well for a spoopy door opening simulator. Problems: * The intro screen was a little confusing. It sits there for a really long time, plays a phone conversation, then sits there until you click 'skip intro'. I'm not sure if this was intended... * I didn't know this was a door opening sim until I wandered half blind and stumbled on a key. * There is little to no direction as far as finding anything and I couldn't see anything so I couldn't search much. * I couldn't see any of the photographs that I picked up because of the way the lighting works. Even if I had the flashlight on. It didn't matter which direction I turned the photo, it ...

Probably if not one of the worst games i played. This is beyond sad. The game is half done only. Playing in in 10 fps, half of the sounds or like doors nor working, there is a radio not making sounds but it is on. Have no idea what to do, i think the guy is trolling us,can't finish the game, because i can't do anything or find anything. just one key that takes you to nothing again. Played almost 1h. nothing. Seen some gameplay on youtube 0 ppl finish it, all have the same problem,after the first key there is nothing to do and cant progress. Very disrespectful. The game has NO options for nothing, no audio option, no resolution option. so contrast options, the game is super dark, the flashlight you have is horrible, burns my eyes how bright it is ,can't see anything in front of me. Like i said for me game runs horrible. No story,no background,no papers to read or anything, no nothing. only sound of me waking and rain or something. Even if this is the devs first game, this is not ok...

Average at best. My first impression is this game optimized well though it used pre-made assets. About horror, there is nothing too scary except some loud sound jumpscares and changing environments. Let's come to cons -Graphical glitches - Lasts short( About 30 min if you are lucky enough to find keys) - Uncompleted story ( At least for me) It was not that terrible. There are worse out there with a 4 times more price tag

Please, dear dev(s). At least label this game as early access or beta stage. Because that is what it is, there are no graphic settings, no Vsync option, no key rebinds.... And the list goes on. Actually you don't even know where to go or what to do in this "game". Big question is? Can we expect updates? I strongly doubt it but in it's current state you should not be asking money for this. Not recommended.

"You MUST'"Right Click' to use a Key" Honestly, I liked it. Its super super short, but I really appreciated the environment, great use of transitions, both sound and light. I mean its a solid little indie experience, kinda like you would find on itchio. The 'LoF' inspiration is very obvious but it doesnt hurt this little gem, it still manages to feel like a fresh story with some fun voice acting. My only real complaints, is the at no time, does the game tell you, you must "Right Click" to use a key. Honestly, had it not been for another reviewer, it may have taken me even longer to finish. The notes shade of yellow will some times blend with the light and many many times I trouble clicking on things, due to the reticle being the same white color as the pocket SUN that this guy uses as a flashlight. All in all, it was fun, and I enjoyed the little details, how the rooms shifted, the use of sound and light. Change the color of the reticle, maybe darken the yellow on the notes, add a "...

This is simply put a bad game. I can't remember the last time actively playing a game managed to put me to sleep while trying to understand what I was doing wrong. I can not remember the last time I had to rely on user reviews to tell me something about the controls themselves the games do not. I can not remember the last time I went from "can't see shit it's too dark" to a flashlight brighter then the sun and literally whiting out the screen. I can not remember the last time I played a PC game with absolutely NO settings, be it to remap controls or lower graphical settings for better performance. I can not remember the last time I played a game on anything without any instructions available, even just a screen showing the buttons you will use to play. I can not remember the last time I played a game where a flickering light felt like the game was breaking under my PC. And I absolutely can not remember the last time a game this bad had an asking price. Avoid this game.
