Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
61 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
"Lakeview valley" is a fun continuation of the lakeview cabin series, unlike the, "cabin collection" games, lakeview valley is more of a rpg murder simulator, it has some pretty compelling characters in it and tells a slightly confusing at times but still pretty fun story.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It crafts a simplistic but effective open world rpg that allows for a lot of freedom, creativity, and experimentation as you either explore the murder mystery, help the town, or burn it to the ground one body at a time.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
With its great and disarming allure of pixel graphics and a calm setting, surreal and unsettling atmosphere, and its homage to classic slasher films of the 70’s and 80’s, the 2D side scrollers are a must play for any fans of the slasher genre or horror in general.
