The Doctrine of Perseverance(Demo) review

-Review by Balthasar

Summary:
The Doctrine of Perseverance by Nedras, is a horror game following Melrose Kronholm's journey in a dangerous and mysterious dimension called the Nox, the game seems to have emphasis in story driven settings and puzzle solving. This is a follow up review and it's content and score may change in the final version.

Gameplay:
Suspense will guide you at all times, even in areas where things don't seem dangerous, the characters and situations will keep you interested through good narrative and character development that gives you solid hints of how they are.

The game contains puzzles that require you to search for clues and combine items, some of these are simple and others can have you thinking a couple minutes, which for people like me can be a bit punishing.

The characters add a lot to the already good atmosphere of the game, having portraits with different expressions and very well defined personalities and good design.

Graphics and sounds:
Beautiful pixel art and ambientation that adds to the suspense, it gives what a horror game should give, the sounds are simply splendid.

PROs: CONs:
 * Excellent ambientation.
 * Interesting story.
 * You will die trying to find the key, silly rabbit.

Conclusion:
An entertaining horror game that remembers to be spooky, and I expect the developer to deliver a much better product from what I have seen.

I give The Doctrine of Perseverance 4 creepy head things that killed me a dozen times out of 5.

Score: 4/5
