  This is just a frustrating and cheap "horror" game which core elements are annoying gameplay to make you play longer and tasteless jumpscares that can only be scary to a random 10 year old whose favourite game is FNAF. Speaking of FNAF, this game tries to be like it and maybe that's why I can't take it as a serious horror game. I genuinely feel bad for those who got presented into the horror genre by this bland game.

  Short, kneejerk "I haven't played very long but enjoy it and want to see it improve" review: Overall, FNAF comparisons will happen because limited light, multiple points of entry leading to death gameplay. However, speaking for myself--and I do love the FNAF games--this game has the potential to be more frightening to me. Why? I'm not even slightly afraid of animatronics and as a child, I was horrified of the dark and being alone. Yes, it does get simple and predictable, but that is being worked on. The main change I would like to see is the closet attack: seeing the boogeyman come out is honestly way more goofy than scary. His long, sharp claws and appendages are horrifying, but his body is honestly kind of hilarious. I would make it so that the closet opens and you don't see the Boogeyman, you see a long shadow start creeping out--this would make even more sense with the flashlight mechanic. Overall, I enjoy this game and want to see it grow to be the next great horror game. It's worth trying and testing, but probably not worth sinking your life into.

  Well, I purposely held off on reviewing this game until I felt I had proper time played as well as knowledge of the developer, So let us get into this review. First, I will say this IS a game that seems to be heavily inspired by Five Nights at Freddy's, But I really wouldn't consider it a complete copy, It's definitely different, And it's a bit more than just senseless jump scares. I don't personally find this game very scary personally, But I still enjoy playing this one quite a bit. In this game, You're armed with only a flashlight, As the boogeyman tries to come at you from four different directions, However there's a few catches. The boogeyman is loud, And each place he tries to come from has a distinct sound, Making audio a key factor. When you hear him, You simply have to shine your flashlight on him and he goes away. It's apparent he doesn't enjoy the light very much, So when the sun comes up at 6:00 AM, He's done for the night. A very basic concept, And it's faily well exectured. Everything seems to have a good amount of detail to it, The lighting seems perfect, There's various distractions such as weather changes, An owl, A plane going across the floor, A ball rolling off the shelf, Your nightlight will randomly go out, The hallway lights will also go out, And the television will occasionally turn on with quite a bit of white noise to it. I personally feel all of these little things add some extra tension that just wouldn't be there normally. If you happen to run out of battery (You really shouldn't in most cases.) You can still save yourself as there's batteries under the bed with I believe a 50% chance of getting a battery, 25% chance of nothing, And 25% chance of the boogeyman trying to eat your head off. The batteries you do get vary in how long they last, Having red, green, And blue batteries. Blue being the best with a realtively low chance. The one thing I'm neutral about is more preference than anything else, The boogeyman has a seemingly goofy appearance, And while it fits the game's art style pretty well, I don't personally find it to be that frightening. Now, We'll mention some things about the developer. He/She seems very passionate and appears to care greatly about the game, As a result of this he fixed complaints, Bugs, And adds suggestions in a relatively fast manner. This is always a great thing. He's been very active about responding to posts, Whether it's for technical help, Suggestions, Bugs or criticism he seems to be taking it well. It's always comforting to see developers actually work on their game in the indie field, As recently we've seen a lot of broken games or buggy games that just suck with no attention given to them. This is NOT one of those games. I have nothing but good things to say based on what I've seen in this department. -Pros • Great atmopshere • Good art direction • Plenty of things to distract you while playing, Making it sometimes easy to not notice the oogy boogeyman • Changing weather, With rain and wind. • Good gameplay for the type of game it is • An acceptable amount of game options, But note that it lacks sound options • Incredible developer who seems very passionate about the game, And has released a patch almost everyday since I've acquired the game (Not everyday, But close enough), Sometimes doing two patches a day. -Cons • A somewhat goofy creature trying to get you, Despite fitting the game's art very well, He doesn't seem too menancing. • There's no sound options at all (It's apparently harder then expected, And it does sound like He's looked into it, But I still have to list this as a con. It doesn't bother me personally, But it may bother you.) • For some, The price may be an issue. At the current time, This is currently all I have to say so far. I plan to update this review if I experience other issues, Or have more things to add. Thanks for taking the time to read if you did, And hopefully this review helped you in some way.

  This game is amazing in my books! It has FNAF like influences but don't mistake this for another crappy fnaf clone because this is far from it. With little to no bugs, amazing atmoshpere, good quality jumpscares, great enemy boogeyman model and much more, I can easily put this in my top 10 favorite horror games thus far! I played this on my YouTube and completed every night including Halloween night, which let's just say is very difficult lol. My end verdict, if you are a horror fan this is a must buy!

  Pros: + Pleasant to look at graphics + Decent animation + Awesome Monster Designs and Concepts + Tense and well built atmosphere + Well placed scares + Constantly improving, consistant addition of new things + Management Horror Cons: - A couple of minor glitches ( will explain below ) - Issue with the menu screen - No mouse sensitivity options ( My mouse will fly around ) - A bit too easy but suddenly 0 to 100 on Night 5 and beyond. PROS: Boogeyman is an $7.99 game which I picked up for only $3.99 and has been an overall enjoyable experiance and worth the $3.99 that I paid for it. Following on the tails of the new popular genre of management horror, as made popular by Five Nights at Freddy's, Boogeyman is a fresh take on this genre and does not clone other popular management horror games- even if it comes with the Fazbear brand cassete tapes to start the nights off. A lot of love and care has gone into the details of this game, making Thomas's room very detailed and putting a lot of time and effort into the animations of the various monsters and items in the room. Boogeyman also has very, very good sound engineering that makes audio the main focus of surviving the night. Not only in the survival portions of the night but the collection portions as well. The atmosphere is also very well built with the lore and consistant with its tense build up of threat instead of throwing jumpscares at you like most horror games found on Steam. It is an overall challenging and fun experiance! CONS ( but mostly recommendations to the developer ): Something that I noticed is that Boogeyman has heavy VR support and I did not play it with a VR set up, which would definately intensify the survival parts of the night- but the developer shouldn't forget to include the players who are not using VR and to make sure to have full control support ( i.e. mouse sensitivity settings ). There were a few glitches when I was playing that resulted in having to suicide under a vent or restarting the program- this being that when I opened the menu while in the survival portion of the night that no keys would let me close the menu therefore resulting me in having to close the program. The second glitch which I encountered was the shelf in the bathroom would become inaccessible since I could not fit between the bath tub and the toilet- meaning that when the flashlight was in that location that I would not longer be able to access the rest of the game unless I suicide or re-start the program. Lastly, when it comes to issues, I felt that the difficulty level majorly increased- I went from being able to complete to night barely looking at the screen to being completely unable to make it one hour into the night ( which may be my own fault ) but with the trailor, I cannot imagine getting far past where I currently stopped. But despite this, I would recommend this game for the $7.99 that the developers are charging for it. You will definately get a few hours of fun and challenge, especially those that you are into games like FNAF.

  For starters, let me clarify something: this game has nothing to do with that atrocious slasher film titled Boogeyman. Neither does it have anything to do with its sequels. Boogeyman is about the very mythical creature that parents use to make their children go bed in time or simply behave properly. I think the adaptation of such a thing is a very clever idea. Many people compared this to the series called Five Nights At Freddy's. The concept is similar: we are positioned at a specific place - we cannot move just look around in Thomas' room. Mentioned boy is equipped with a flashlight, the sole weapon that is capable of ridding ourselves of the boogeyman. The mission is very simple: survive till 6 o'clock in the morning. We have to survive 6 hours on our bed while the creature can enter our room through the window, the vent, come out of the cupboard or from under the bed and can even use the door from the corridor to peek in. The game uses a handful of distractions. While we can manage ourselves pretty soon we realise it's not just about the surveillance but also about paying attention to various noises the boogeyman makes. Did he just make a scratching sound? He's coming from under our bed. Do you hear him breathing? He will not come out but you are not to take a look at underneath you. And this is what I like about the game: it forces you to look under the bed. The very place with batteries to charge your flashlight. It is the challenging part as you definitely get some important seconds lost while going down there which is a must. Early on you find the game easy but come Night 4 and you are in for a world of hurt! Overall, 7 nights are to be completed and I have to say I enjoyed the ride. Back to distractions: the game employs some weather effects to play with your senses. While the lightning can help you see the room for a sec or two the constant sound of the heavy rain may suppress the boogie's noises. There are a couple of lights turned on but sooner or later all are switched off and we barely have any lighting sources. I like how the toys can be turned on out of the blue making us drive up the wall. The cymbal-banging monkey toy in the corner just behind us looks as if he just arrived from a Stephen King novel. The game has an additional, free-roaming, house exploration mode but that I did not like. I did not find it as terrifying as the original concept. Moreover I cannot comment on the VR option. A propos VR: the floating menus are certainly an improvement compared to the ones in the older versions but it does not pause the game itself - it is pretty annoying to start over because I had the idea of changing something in the video settings. Some more gameplay modes and added difficulty levels would be great additions. Also, the death animation is pretty annoying as in case a 2nd or 3rd boogeyman enters the room while the animation is being played it is followed up by theirs. This repetition of monster pop-up and an ugly red screen could certainly use some improvement. Boogeyman is a refreshing concept in a genre that has seen some great games in recent years such as Slenderman or Outlast. It can certainly stand on its own but I recommend the developer make some improvements here and there to fully utilise this great idea.
