Saves you a refund- Players who want a stable protagonist state may hit a wall when the infection creates an ongoing need to find medicine.
- Players seeking a single fixed combat style may be frustrated by encounters built around switching between stealth, traps, and direct violence.
- Players looking for a linear setting may not enjoy navigating a semi-open, interconnected building complex and its surrounding facilities.
- Players who prefer light subject matter may reject the kidnapping, cultists, monsters, and psychological horror themes.
Our take on SKYHILL: Black Mist
The bounce point is the infection system: players must keep searching for medicine while exploring and facing enemies. Those who do not want survival pressure layered onto horror exploration may hit that wall early.
What is SKYHILL: Black Mist?
SKYHILL: Black Mist is a psychological survival horror game set in a huge interconnected condominium and nearby facilities, including a school, shopping center, cinema, parking area, and technical sites.
The player searches for a kidnapped daughter while a black mist transforms people into creatures. Infection causes a continuing decline, making medicine, resource management, crafting, and scavenging central to survival.
