Despair

Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.

Mostly Negative · 33%2015

US Steam price, checked 1 h ago

The verdict

A tiny, roughly 30-minute Unity walking-horror that most players call slow, dark, glitchy and unscary. Skip it unless you only want the trading cards at a few cents.

Great for

Trading-card farmers and bad-game curiosity seekers who can get it for pennies

Main risk

Slow, dark, buggy half-hour with no story or real scares, not worth more than pennies

What players love

Fine for the tiny price

What players complain about

Poor performance and crashes

Mentioned in ~1 in 4 negative reviews

“The game runs like mangled ass- rarely cracking 10 fps- and trying to reduce the grahics quality to improve performance just crashed the game.”
