The retro survival horror tactics of FOBIA – St. Dinfna Hotel are enjoyable enough for the first few hours, as you go about exploring and working out what is going on, all as a strange tale of the supernatural unfolds. It’s only when the combat gets involved and monsters start appearing around every corner that the interest starts to wane, as the threat becomes a bit redundant. 

Varney Lake is a charming addition to an interesting game franchise. Seeing returning characters come back with a fresh new story to tell, working an X-Files and Stranger Things vibe, isn’t a bad thing at all. You’ll need to be aligned with the genre though and so if you hate stories and don’t like reading then this is far from the game for you. But visual novel fans should definitely add this new one to the collection. 

Mirrored Souls does get frustrating at times and it will test your patience with every turn, but there is a lot to love here, helped by the fact that the pretty visuals will be a feast for your eyes. It’s probably well worth getting connected with Mirrored Souls.

Overall, you’ll find Cannibal Abduction to be an interesting old-school hit. But I am very glad that the retro control methods used have mostly moved on; they were frustrating back in the day, and they are still frustrating now. However, the narrative and setup of the main game must both be applauded and this means Cannibal Abduction will be of appeal to hardcore retro fans.
