Lots of over-the-top bad reviews here but my message is just stick with it and it turns into something quite good.

At first I almost gave up because the main character's reactions to what was happening around him didn't seem realistic (not his acting, which was very believable despite yelling a bit too much, this was mainly a writing issue)... and I couldn't see how the games shown would sustain my interest. However then it improved in pace and tension, and I got really into it. The text aspect was very well integrated too.

If you like films of a computer-screen genre (Searching, Unfriended, etc.) then give this a go. It's an intriguing concept, with lots of references for the gamers among you, some fine acting and a lovely punchline.

This movie is more comical and has almost zero horror elements to it. It is laughably unrealistic, cringy, with atrocious dialogue and writing, and is a complete waste of time unless you are looking for a corny movie to make fun of throughout the night.

I actually really enjoyed this movie. It has that indie/micro budget charm. Also love the fact they had to make the game to go along with it. The ending was brutal. I would recommend if you're looking for a fun watch. They managed to do a lot of characterization in a short amount of time, even for those that weren't on screen. Personally, the negative reviews feel like people that don't appreciate micro budget/b movie horror.

There's not any gore so if you're squeamish you don't need to worry. There's not a ton of jumpscares, the ones that are there are mostly in the context of the game Scott is playing.

This is a truly terrible attempt at what could've been a fun, engaging, highly unique experience. The main character is obnoxious, and any potential scares you get from this film will likely come from you being taken off guard by him blowing out his microphone with highly unpleasant, guttural screaming. The film is also an eye sore, with the game he plays being collectively made up of several mini games, all of different genres, and all equally as ugly, barebones, and monotonous to watch. It seemed as though the director/writer was trying to play off of audience nostalgia, assuming that many viewers would relate to the FNAF and Slender clones, as well as the one constructed in RPG Maker. But what made those games special at the time wasn't just simple childhood amusement, but the fact that they were highly original and unique for the time. Not only that, but most importantly, they weren't being played and commented on by someone that gives you a headache and has the personality of a theater kid reject. Lastly, the film makes a few attempts at emotion and pathos toward the end that are truly cringeworthy and embarrassing, ultimately making you wish the game took the main character out within the first five minutes instead. It's an awful film, but I may watch the sequel one day when I need something to laugh at, as it sounds even worse than this one.

I don't know if it's because I'm not a gamer or if it just wasn't good. The guy's acting wasn't horrible but I didn't like it. Too much texting 2, I had to stop it many times just to catch up and to make sure I didn't miss anything. Fell asleep a couple times and awoke to him yelling. I don't know if all games are like this but the graphics were something off my first Nintendo, in the early 90's. Like I said, it could be me not appreciating it because im not a gamer or it was just really lame. Whatever you do, wait for it to be free.
