Dark Adventure: Beary the Hatchet Review
Step into the eerie Halloween night of the 90s with Beary the Hatchet, a free visual novel featuring a 2.5D style that immerses players in a semi-realistic environment. Similar to titles like ERROR143 and Elevator Hitch, this game offers branching storylines with RPG elements, enhancing depth and replayability as players navigate through different outcomes.
With an hour to an hour-and-a-half of gameplay, Beary the Hatchet provides a compact yet fulfilling experience, boasting over 10,000 words of dialogue, numerous collectible CGs, and character sprites. The sharp and humorous dialogue, complemented by an original soundtrack tailored to the game's moods, adds to the immersive storytelling. Despite technical issues like frequent crashes and loading problems, the game's dark comedy narrative, multiple endings, and engaging gameplay make it a compelling choice for players seeking a unique adventure.
