There is a giant bunny asking me to DYE him?

Easter is a holiday where we celebrate a man waking up from an extremely deep nap by dying hard boiled eggs and making our homes smell like 3 day old farts...

Dye the Bunny is a bite sized atmospheric horror game created by none other than Mr VidasTimore, it was released on April 13 2023 on steam for $1.99 and clocks in at a little over 90 minutes. For this review I will be using a 5 star system as the game is under 2 hours. 

We play as Ellie a young girl who is on the hunt for easter eggs. She wanders through her back yard grabbing colorful eggs for easter. On our journey we encounter a voice of a mysterious rabbit call to her asking her to "dye the bunny". Ellie travels through burrows and tunnels just like Alice traveled through wonderland. I really wanted to see more in this installment however DYE the BUNNY 2 - Demo expanded a little bit on where the story goes from here

The visuals were a mix of realism & fantasy. The realistic graphics of the home, back yard, houses and city scape transported the player to a small burrow in a big city till that realism is broken into 1000 pieces when you see a massive pulsating fluffy blue rabbit crawling towards you like a demon. The bunny is unsettling, and his varying textures and razor sharp teeth make him feel straight out of Ellies imagination or her nightmares. Did I mention the Bunny was unsettling?!

We don't see much in the realm of our MC or side characters in DTB however as I stated before we do see the Bunny and snippets of the MC but as far as characters go the focus of the game is on those 2. I would have loved to see the ending scene with fully rendered. 


SOUND DESIGN & VISUALS:⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 /5

GAMEPLAY: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5

CONTROLS:⭐⭐⭐⭐4/5

STORY:⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 

CHARACTER DESIGN:⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 /5

Overall Score: 3.8 / 5


FINAL THOUGHTS: 


I really enjoyed DTB and DTB2 - if you're looking for a short horror gaming experience Mr. Timore does not disappoint in this little horror nugget! I really enjoyed my time playing this game and it gave me many solid jump scares! I usually prefer shorter horror games 3hrs and under, as when I stream I can play a few games in one sitting. Mr. Timore is a legend in the horror community as when he asked me to play his game I was extremely honored - Mr. Timore is able to capture the same amount of story that you would find in a 4-6 hour game in 3 or less! I applaud that!

Visions of Concrete are dancing in my head!

When it comes to an action packed game of bloody knuckles meets fisty cuffs running around a literal concrete jungle. Concrete Visions is a debut game by Sam Marshall and Published by VoxPop Games it was released on April 2nd 2024 and retails for $1.99 and took me about 90-120 min to play. The game is a PS1 style - pixelated fast paced beat em up thriller that leaves you on the edge of your seat till the final showdown. You play as our unnamed hero in the town of Stonybrook, you set our on a quest to rid the town of an unruly, cruel boss by the name of Malone! His goonies line the streets and you must use your fists, bats, guns and any other method to end their reign of terror and bring peace and serenity back to Stonybrook! The gameplay is melee based, fast paced and not for the faint of heart. it uses WASD to move and R&L mouse buttons to control your fists. You can pick up a plethora of weapons (my personal fav is the bat) As you move through the multiple levels you inch your wa...

The Nigh is Grey and full of wolves....

  The Night is Grey is a slow burn, hand drawn, indie point and click adventure game blended with dark undertones of childhood trauma and PTSD and overcoming those traumas through finding yourself through caring for another. TNIG was developed by Whalestork games, releasing on steam in January 2024, it has a run time of about 3-6 hours and has a price tag of $15.99.  I had the absolute pleasure of playing TNIG over the course of 2 days and I enjoyed every single hand animated moment. I would be remiss if I did not start this review with the sound design and visuals. Whalestork games meticulously crafted environments with a precision that I have not seen in quite some time. I was enraptured with just how breathtaking the backgrounds were and how well the characters overlaid into it. The sound design on the other hand, exceeded well beyond my expectations, the swells of beautifully composed music and alluring visuals transported me on the journey with Graham and Hannah as they q...
