Description: You’ll find yourself stranded in the creepy forests of North America. Things might seem peaceful, but don’t be fooled as these grounds are cursed. You’re not alone and these haunted forests are home to a legendary creature called The Wendigo. This bloodthirsty predator is fast, smart, has great senses and will do everything it can to take you down. To break the curse you’ll need to find and burn totems, the more you burn the more intense the game becomes. Therefore your best bet is to get from point A to point B as fast as possible, duck down to stay out of Wendigo’s sight and use the ank to scan the environment for nearby totems. Simply sprinting until you find the totems will get you nowhere since the Wendigo will see and catch you.
Review: Seeking Evil: The Wendigo is a horror game that sees you trying to collect 9 totems as well as avoiding being seen and killed by something called the Wendigo. For most people, the slow pace of this game will make them hate it as you have to move quite slowly through the woods to avoid being seen, but personally I enjoy it and found the pace to only add to the creepy atmosphere of the game. While there isn’t much variety in scenery the graphics are pretty good and the woodland setting once again adds to the horror element. So is it worth £3.99? I found I finished the game in just under an hour so I would wait for a sale for sure, but it is worth a look if you ask me, just don’t expect anything action-packed nor fast-paced.
