Is Loch Ness worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Horror game players who want a lake-based monster hunt rather than combat-focused action

- Solo players who prefer gathering evidence and choosing when to retreat
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a fast-paced horror experience rather than a hunt built around navigating, searching, and collecting samples
- Players who want broad combat options, since the described protection is limited to a flare gun
- Players looking for a large-team multiplayer game beyond 4 players
Our take on Loch Ness
The central choice is whether to leave with collected samples or stay to bait Nessie, risking an encounter with only a flare gun for protection.
What is Loch Ness?
Play as a disgraced researcher searching for evidence that the Loch Ness Monster exists.
Navigate the lake in a rowboat, locate Nessie’s feeding ground, and use equipment such as a DNA scanner, sonar, and underwater camera to collect proof. Choose whether to leave with samples or bait the monster and risk staying longer, with only a flare gun for protection. The game supports solo play and co-op for 1–4 players. Nessie’s locations are randomized, and an AI director shapes each session. Evidence and completion time contribute to a score, which unlocks cosmetics, difficulty modes, and monster types.
