Summer of '58 - Game Review - MGN TV (Jumpscare mayhem)

This Game was something (Intro to the game) play_arrow0:00

  1. Story: 0:48 Summer Of ’58 is a jump-scare horror-fest investigation game where you play as Alex Mortan, a paranormal investigator/vlogger.At the request of your followers, you go to Russia to explore the abandoned camp “Yunost”. Locals say that this place is inhabited by restless souls. Turns out that this is a massive understatement. The pioneer camp “Yunost” was a camp where parents could leave their children for the summer from year to year. That is, until one day in 1958, when what can only be described as a nightmare happened. Residents and counselors were killed, many rather gruesomely, at this place. One of the children was accused but that child was never found. As you can imagine, after this mysterious massacre the camp was closed down and remains so to this day.


  1. Gameplay 1:54 So this is a walking around finding what to do in the game with some real creepy stuff and yeah it gets worse with the scares 0 to 100 real fast to the point I was sweating in fear which is a new thing for me. Me sweating 0:35



  1. Jump scares3:13 These was balls to the walls cheapish but bad ass as well seriously i thought this was going to be some rich story but nope here is some timeframes of the game taking the soul out of me. 1:29 then 2:46 and also 6:00 and finally when i completely lost it 8:14



  1. The negative of this game 5:32 The only real negative I can see in this game is that it had a few too many jump-scares, in my opinion. Too much of a good thing is not always to be desired, so to speak.


  1. Overall 6:59 The story is very interesting and the more you learn, the more you want to dig in and understand the backstory behind the massacre. As for the jump scares, they are pretty hectic and violent. I found them to be incredibly well done, though they are quite nasty and in your face (at times).


  1. The Bad news that made twitter trending 7:30 The dev within 2 days gave up making games because it was short. And the silly thing is was steam policy of refund within the hour so this person worked hard just to be lampooned by refunds.
