  I have waited for this game ever since Robbaz did a goofy vid on it WAY back in 2016. I was so hyped for TWoM because of the interesting take it seemed to have on horror games, where YOU are the killer instead of some NPC threat. It looked amazing and the graphics were breathtaking. Then 2 days before it was supposed to release it was delayed till later on in the year for "polishing and improvement". I jumped in joy when I found out the game would be releasing today and immediately bought it first chance I got home. As badly as I tried to enjoy this game, it is nothing like what was promised. The graphics have been SEVERELY downgraded, performance has tanked, there is no save function whatsoever, its increasingly difficult to figure out what you need to do, and worst of all it lasts LESS THAN AN HOUR OF PLAYTIME. It feels as if the devs had a neat concept with the original demo back in 2016, but struggled to get anywhere past that portion and ran out of ideas. It pains me to have to not recommend this game but I just can find anything good in it whatsoever. EDIT: I have been banned from the community hub, and the devs have publicly announced that they will not improve the game or update it and have instead moved on to a different project in hopes it will be more successful. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!

  What can I say...this game had such promise... Why the downgraded graphics? Why no save function? Oh and don't get me started on the textures in the basement.. Thank you Steam refund.. Do yourself a favor and grab this on a super sale..like under $5

  I did not mind the length..I did not mind the missing ability to save..I was even going to give the game a chance and explore the endings..But this game has some bugs and the developer just stated that they are moving onto another project and no fixes or features were planned. As soon as I read that I requested a refund..Do yourselves a favor and save your money for indie games that the developers actually care about.

  I decided to buy this game even though a lot of reviews gave it thumbs down. I am picky about my games. Due to the bad reviews and the 15$ price tag, I wasn't expecting much. The atmosphere is great. The graphics are great (no blurry textures in the basement imo) - sometimes borderlines photo realism. No frame drops here (1080 ti 4k max details) whatsoever, the idea is pretty sweet. I like the ending, I've played it twice and only realized what's happening on the second time. There are two endings and once you notice the "hint" of how you should think in the game (it's in plain sight, just open your eyes), you can reach the "good ending" pretty easily. It combines horror, psychology and actual real beliefs in some Christianity streams. Yes, you do easily feel the lack of experience of the developers. Yes, except the great graphics you can sense that they simply don't know how to animate a head blow up or a drill that goes into someone's skull, so they simply blackens the screen and put you right back in the scene a second after. Yes, it might get somewhat boring at times. Yes, it is about an hour long and there's no save feature (which is the weakest spot, no doubt). I had a game breaking bug, stuck in a position I can't move from at some point in the game, had to start over. No other bugs noticed. But the idea and the real horror is, overall, pretty much fun, for 15$. Don't expect to much, you might mildly enjoy it. It's certainly shows some new concepts for the first time in a game.

  I really wanted to make this work so bad. I focused so hard on the good side of this game but there's too much downsides for me to actually recommend it. I waited for so long to finally play this game and it breaks my heart that my first not recommended review is for a game that sat on the #1 spot of my wishlist for almost a year. The moment I launched the game, I knew already that they downgraded the quality of this game. Just by basing on the quality of the main menu it looked so poor... but hey, don't judge the game by its cover right? For the first 10 minutes of gameplay, I was still impressed by the realistic graphics and textures of the game. It's really nice but it wasn't enough for me to recommend this game. What really annoys me the most was the color filter as if it was taken from Windows Movie Maker. It made the game look cheap. The hospital scene was so dark that I think they purposely did it to hide the lack of details. The story is okay, good twist but not really something new. Also, no objective list and no save function. I finished the game for almost just an hour and that is just too short imo. This game had so, so, much potential I just hope that they gave it more love and attention because it felt rushed and forced. The game already had a good following after the hype a few years ago, I just hope the devs used that advantage, took good care of this game and made it successful.

  It was okay and the story was alright but short and too expensive for a game with pretty much zero replayability that you can beat in an hour.

  Had this game on my radar for a while... then the DEMO came out and I was pleasantly surprised by the intrigue of THE WORKS OF MERCY. However I had decided to skip its KickStarter campaign. Basically, you're a man that you receive "orders" to kill people from a stranger calling you on the phone. THE WORKS OF MERCY is a very short game. Granted, I think I saw somewhere that there are more than one ending but to replay the whole thing without any save feature is annoying. The visuals are pretty impressive overall, minus the basement portion of the game. Story is straightforward and keeps you guessing until the very end. The voice acting is fine for an indie project, same with the music. [b]I'd recommend you wait for a drastic sale before getting this![/b]

  Review in german and english. ---- Dieses Spiel ist ein Witz. Als ich den ersten Trailer und einige Demo-Videos sah waren meine Erwartungen relativ hoch. Ich rechnete mit einer interessanten Story und einem komplexen Spiel. Aber das was Ende September als finale Version erschien ist nichts weiter als ein 14,99€ teurer Scherz. Das Spiel ist verbuggt, die Untertitel sind oft falsch, der Sound wirkt billig und das größte Problem: Die kurze Spieldauer. All das wär nicht einmal ein Problem für mich, wenn das Spiel günstiger als 5€ wäre und die Entwickler von vornherein den Spielern reinen Wein eingeschenkt und das Konzept genauer erläutert hätten. Auch dann wäre es nur ein geradenoch so durchschnittliches Spiel, aber der Kunde hätte wenigstens gewusst, worauf er sich einlässt. Aber unter den jetzigen Umständen spielt das Spiel schon fast in einer Liga mit Steam-Spielen wie ,,One Day for Ched" und ist meiner Meinung nach einfach nur Betrug. Steam/Valve sollte wenigstens höhere Qualitätsstandarts setzen und solche Spiele vor dem Erscheinen besser überprüfen. ---- This game is a joke. When I saw the first trailer and a few demo-gameplays, I expected a very interesting story and an extensive game. But what we got in the end is just a 14,99€ expensive joke. The final game is buggy, the subtitles are often incorrect, the sound appears to be sleazy and the biggest lack of the game: the short gameplay-time. This wouldn't be a problem, if the game would cost less than 5€ and the developers would have pronounced the concept from the beginning. It still would be not more than an average game, but the customers would have known what they would buy, when this game came out. But under this circumstances the game plays almost in one league with steam-games like ,,One Day for Ched" and is deception in my opinion. Steam/Valve should set higher quality-standarts and check games like this before the release.

  I had really high hopes after seeing the teaser and playing the demo, even waited for months just to get a release date... Once it released, the Steam page was filled with negative reviews, so I decided to wait for a sale. Eventually decided to pick it up on sale, but honestly, it's not even worth the €6, don't even bother.
