Although horror is not really my thing, this game seemed very intriguing at first and honestly did not disappoint. Hektor is aesthetically pleasing and the style of the setting you're immersed into suits the theme of the game perfectly. If you want to get trapped in an insane asylum that defies physics, then this game is right up your alley! It's terrifying, although things rarely jump out at you, I loved that I took every corner with caution. The story is riveting and very enjoyable, there isn't much in terms of direct story development such as cut scenes, you kind of have to figure out for yourself. These minor details is what I loved about the game, you're forced to explore and discover even though you're constantly on edge. The gameplay is not incredibly difficult to grasp, and is relatively challenging when considering the incorporation of items. For example, you're given a flash light with a set of batteries, for starters, the effect that the flashlight produces is horrifying when looking at far distances, but on top of that the batteries can die at any given time without warning which is even more terrifying, forcing you to either bust out your lighter as quickly as possible or fill your flashlight with batteries. Hektor is a game mostly about discovery and and design, it's essentially a mixture of a point-click adventure game and a survival game, although at the end of it feels more like an adventure. Although the game might have ended a tad earlier than I'd like you'd have to keep in mind it is after all an indie game and they may just be testing the waters with this kind of concept. At the end of the day Hektor accomplished what it wanted to achieve, and that is keep me in suspense and have me at times muting the game because I couldnt handle it, I very much enjoyed it.
