From GameWatcher: "Publisher and developer Refugium Games has given us a first look at its upcoming survival horror game Greyhill Incident while sharing more details about its gameplay and broad release date.
Set in 1992, Greyhill Incident injects a dose of "classic Grey-Alien and UFO abductions" into the indie wing of the survival horror subgenre. You take on the role of Ryan Baker, a member of the titular village's neighborhood watch, as you try to evade the invaders while making sense of what's going on."
WTMG's Leo Faria: "This is one mess of a game, isn’t it? Greyhill Incident could have been considered a hilarious, “so-bad-it’s-good” experience due to its dumb premise and Wiseau-esque levels of voice acting, but it’s way too boring to be considered worthy of an ironic playthrough. Poor stealth mechanics, samey environments, and an emphasis on being an Amazon delivery boy for a bunch of tinfoil hat lunatics cozily sitting in front of your house make this slog of a game feel less like an unintentional gaming version of Plan 9 From Outer Space and more like an exercise in how long you can stomach it before turning your PS5 off."
Review - Greyhill Incident feels like an unfortunate swing and a miss at a hugely underused slice of horror.
Was really looking forward to this as it really is an area that is largely ignored unless it’s done in a comedic style.
I’ve heard it feels like it’s incredibly unfinished.
It does feel like that. The developers keep adding updates and patches to the game. They need to sort out the bugs first. The bugs in this game is worse than Bethesda games
I'm waiting on the VR2 version before dipping in, probably pick it up around Halloween on sale for £15 which seems more fitting for a 3 hour game.
Disappointing scores all around. Really wanted this one to be good. Well, I’ll wait for a deep sale. Maybe it’ll be fixed up a bit by then? Damn.
Exactly the score I was expecting from the clunky previews (unfortunately)... although I really wanted this game to be amazing. We have absolutely no great alien invasion-type games... I hope this genre takes off in VR. I really need something like this for psvr2. (but with Naughty Dog level quality development).
From GamesReviews:"Greyhill Incident was instantly on my radar from the first time I saw it. It’s pretty public knowledge at this point that I am a sucker for a good horror game, and honestly, the whole alien aspect hasn’t been done that often, and definitely not like this."
I heard the game has poor performance on PC even if you have decent specs, don't know if it has been patched since. Also heard it's short.. But yes, it does look atmospheric, also an interesting time to release this given the ongoing legal drama in the USA at the moment over possible UFO/alien materials. Can't believe there's an actual bill on the government website.
It actually looks pretty cool. At least in concept.
