The Cabin Factory has been around for a bit on PC and has finally made its way over to consoles. Feardemic was kind enough to toss me a copy to check out during this spooky season, and as a fan of all things horror, I have to say this was greatly appreciated.
The game is simple: check out the cabins to see if they are haunted. If something moves, it’s haunted. Leave the cabin immediately and hit the red button. If nothing moves, come out and hit the green button. This sounds quite simple, and some cabins are simple, for example, a hand just reaching out from under the bed or a guy’s head suddenly turning towards you. Others are much more subtle to the point that I still have not figured out what is moving inside these cabins. What makes this more challenging is that these cabins are designed to look haunted intentionally.
The game also, much to my surprise, doesn’t rely on cheap jump scares. The atmosphere itself is creepy and does small things to build tension. One cabin in particular, when I walked in, was perfectly normal, until I saw myself hiding behind a wooden pillar. This alone technically wouldn’t have made it haunted, except as I moved around the cabin, the alternate me moved around the pillar to keep staring at me.
Don’t get me wrong, there are some jump scares involved in the game, but you can just go into the option menu to turn them on or off if this isn’t something you are a fan of. Don’t worry, it won’t mess with the story or overall feel of the game.
Now, for the most important part, if you are worried about wasting a ton of money on a game you may not like or on a short game, you will definitely get your money’s worth. The game is a whole $2.99, so less than a cup of coffee. It is a 9/10 experience, and if you are a horror fan, there really is no reason to pass on this game. My only real complaint about it is that I wish there were some sort of in-game book that kept track of the story you had discovered so far. It is such a minor complaint that most people playing the game probably won’t even care; it just would have been a nice touch. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
