Greyhill Incident

Greyhill Incident: Let’s start by showing y’all the trailers shall we?

So oh boy where to start? Well firstly I had such high hopes for this game, the idea of a classic alien  invasion In the 1980s, but making it into a horror game was a great concept…why hasn’t it been done before? Well, I’ll explain if it’s any good soon..but first, the rating overall this game was a massive failure….this game fails on every front, it fails as a horror game, and it fails as an alien  abduction game…heck it fails as a game…so this game gets a solid 1/10….warning spoilers ahead y’all been warned…

So this game takes place in a made-up town where everyone has cut themselves off from the government because the entire town believes aliens are real, and that the government is hiding it from them…ok then, a bunch of loonies.

Anyway on that night, a UFO does show up, well I guess they’re not loonies after all….ur main character goes to talk to his paranoid conspiracy theorist friend who lives in his RV all while wearing a tinfoil hat…yeah this guy is the classic conspiracy theorist….it’s like they took every trope and plastered it onto one guy…don’t worry it’s as corny as it sounds, anyway u enter his RV which is covered up…so aliens can’t enter it…

U the player starts to realize (if y’all haven’t realized already) that the voice acting isn’t the best in this game….I cannot give any examples I’ve forgotten them, for a reason I try to forget things that are completely useless to remember…

Anyways u both notice a UFO land in front of u in a cornfield….now I bet ur wondering does ur character go straight back home after seeing little grey men exit a UFO so he can go check on his son? Hell no…instead he does chores…yeah turns out his neighbor’s cat has gone missing so he goes and locates his cat for him…

Oh goodie, I’m doing chores for a conspiracy theorist whacko….just my cup of tea, sighhh…anyways u locate his cat nearby in a field….for some reason this cat has these weird white lights located around his face…don’t worry it will never be brought up again in this game…

So u return the guy’s cat to him, u see the UFO fly over your house so u run home, and you get there in time to see your son being abducted….by being beamed out of the roof into the sly…..uh oh ur son been kidnapped what shall we ever do?

Well luckily for us nearby a cop car comes rolling down and crashes into a tree, inside the car u find a secret military file…how convenient if u ask me, can u grab it? Nahh…instead u grab the flashlight that’s right next to it instead…..are y’all starting to see a pattern here yet? No? Don’t worry y’all will soon….

Anyways now that u have the cop’s walkie-talkie and his flashlight and his gun….u get in contact with the cop who says he’s in a graveyard and that the reason he stole the files is because the government was hiding everything….no shite, Sherlock.

Anyway, now I bet ur character is gonna go get the cop’s help and then go get his son back right? Hahahahahhaha no…instead ur conspiracy friend is now located outside your house in the open where aliens  could abduct him….

He tells us to go around the neighborhood and find 5 tinfoil wraps and nails…so u can barricade ur house and then cover ourselves in tinfoil….oh goodie fetch quest the game….

Yeah, this entire game is a freaking fetch quest….if y’all haven’t figured it out yet, this game is just padding itself out for no reason…..

BTW this leads to my next issue, the combat…jeepers the combat, where to begin well u have a gun right…but the issue is ur scarce on ammo, u can find ammo on the map but more often than not it’s hard to find ammo…because they don’t give u any indication where the ammo is…

Consider this ur exploring in a neighborhood, at night in the pitch black, trying to avoid aliens…all while entering houses that have no lights on for some reason…all while hoping u find ammo, yeah this game is a mess…oh but don’t worry the mess doesn’t end there, did I forget to mention this map has invisible walls? Yeah, that’s how they try to prevent the characters from having to explore too much…by adding invisible walls…

Which once again just kills the immersion, oh no an alien! You have to run away…oh darn that invisible wall, u got me again u clever old u….u also have a bat, which u can hit the aliens with btw….

Oh god, yeah ok so remember how I said u have a gun? Yeah, u can use the gun on an alien… The issue is just it takes 2 hits to the head to kill which wastes all ur 3 bullets it gives u every quickly…also yes u heard that right the horror game monster can be taken out by 2 shots to the head?

Congratulations, u are just 1 step up from being humans, nothing is menacing about these aliens…especially since they can die with 2 gunshots to the head, oh no for u see these aliens are just so threatening I’m so scared….ughhhh.

Oh also if u want to confuse an alien, just run around left and right behind a recliner chair, for some reason the alien can’t figure out how to catch up to u while ur running back and forth behind a chair!

Speaking of the aliens, ain’t nothing intimidating about these things….besides the fact they can die with 2 gunshots to the head, these aliens look the least threatening….they look kinda quirky…they fast walk to u kinda weirdly…they walk like they are a group of middle-aged mothers.

They’re more of a nuisance than being scary, btw I hope u don’t get seen by the aliens because u can’t outrun them…yeah that’s right u can’t outrun them, u can try…u can also try going in a house then close the door but they always find u…

No ur option is to.

Hide I’m a dumpster or cabinet then hope jot to be caught (even though sometimes they see u and open the cabinets up)

Shoot the aliens dead

Bash the aliens with the baseball bat

Or finally, sneak around past the aliens…

Speaking of bashing the alien’s heads in, dear lord it sucks….so the swinging for some reason has a stamina bar…yeah I wish I was kidding, but so does this guy running….this guy has the lungs of a guy who smoked 12 times a day….oh if that’s not worse, it takes 4 to 5 hits to the alien’s head to knock them on the floor…don’t worry they don’t die, they eventually get up…u just have to start running….

But remember ur running stamina is horrible, heck people with with asthma would be laughing at how bad this guys stamina is.

U will only find yourself getting more annoyed by this game than scared, u will also want to quit this game ASAP like I wanted to…

BTW u will absolutely get cornered by a small group of aliens, so not one but a few aliens will chase u at once…..oh goodie, I can’t wait….plz abduct me now.

Of can’t forget to talk about what happens when the aliens catch u, well u get stuck in a position while they, and I’m trying to say this without coming off in a perverted way but they start making sucking noises all while it looks like they are sucking ur belly button or ur down there part….

I can’t for the life of me tell if the developers thought hey here’s an idea that will make this seem scary, what if the aliens grab u and start sucking on u…that’s scary, well that’s only scary on paper because the way it’s executed was handled poorly….looks more like the aliens are giving u a blow job or something like that…

Also, did I forget to mention the flashlight in this game is awful? No, seriously it’s awful, u have to rapidly click the button multiple times to turn it on…the light barely lasts and when it is on the light is not that bright heck it’s kinda dim….oh joy what a scary fun game huh?

No, not really, I was being sarcastic.

So eventually u find ur neighbor’s daughter in her room, this girl is a true American…her bed is the American flag and she’s talking an American attitude because her dad raised her that way…..she runs away from u where u have to chase her…u end up finding her knocked out in a cornfield….

He then brings her to the RV, well the RV comes to them…also for some reason Bob has captured a Grey and has it locked in the backroom……no I don’t understand why either.

Then our main character proceeds to run outside and let the UFO just abduct him, that’s how this game ends folks! He lets the UFO abduct him! We never get any resolutions on whether he saves his son or not…

Oh but don’t worry we do however get to close the game out on a small cutscene narration by Bob the conspiracy theorist in his RV riding off in the sun with the guy’s dog who vanished for a while but now he’s back…also he’s now wearing a tinfoil hat…

His glowing cat and the child, and the alien in the backroom? Yeah idk where they are driving to….also I don’t care for Bob, stop showing me Bob…..

Well at least we’re finally over, thank the lord….if y’all couldn’t tell, I hated this game….I wanted to love it, but the issue is everything with this game Is what interfered in it becoming a great game…

BTW this video should explain how bad this game is, this guy just laughs throughout the entire video gameplay, yeah laughing at a horror game. That’s an issue.
