Late Review

Shines Over: The Damned is a unique gaming experience that combines elements of adventure and horror to create an immersive and emotional atmosphere. With its stunning visual design, captivating soundtrack and minimalistic narrative, the game offers a unique and different experience to what we are used to.

Shines Over - The Damned is advertised as a horror walking sim adventure and doesn't really do any of the genres justice. The horror elements are there, the walking is minimal, and the adventure is nowhere to be found. It's a weird game, but one that fails to accomplish anything else.

Launch Window

If it wasn’t clear already, Shines Over: The Damned is a really bad game, which isn’t worth your money or your time, even if it lasts just half an hour. It’s a short, but definitely not sweet experience, completely lacking in scares, story, atmosphere, or neat ideas. To make matters worse, it costs way too much for something so short. The easy platinum trophy you can get from it is not worth the pricetag. At its worst, it was a frustrating gameplay experience. At its best, it was an experimental snorefest.
