  [b][u]See written review below[/u][/b] or watch it here: https://youtu.be/_zfLFhQ2xcg [h1]TL;DR: SKIP TO CONCLUSION![/h1] ARAYA is an atmospheric horror adventure that takes place inside an extremely creepy Thai hospital. I played the game on my desktop, but it’s also available in VR. You play as three different characters throughout the game. From these three perspectives, you explore and find information that gives you some insight into the murder of Araya. By putting all the pieces together, you uncover the truth behind her death. I found it was a little bit confusing to be jumping back and forth between the different character perspectives. The story was fine though, and by the end, I think I understood most of what happened. Most of the gameplay is walking around the hospital, and exploring each room to find clues about what happened to ARAYA. You'll need to find keys, or other objects to progress. ARAYA also has thrilling chases sequences where you run for your life, crawling under and hopping over obstacles as you search for an escape to safety. There are also a lot jump scares as well, and some of them were very well placed, and got me really good. There were so many of them that I started to anticipate them, and the majority of them didn’t even phase me. [h1]Pros:[/h1] [list][*]the majority of ambience, and sound effects are done well, and are effective at creating the creepy and often tense atmosphere [*]no worry about draining the batteries of your flashlight as you move through the dark, and immersive environments like in other horrors [*]chase sequences are enjoyable, and the music makes it very exciting, and somewhat terrifying (these were easily my favourite parts of the game) [*]some well placed jump scares that are sure to get you [*]environments look decent enough, and there are a few unique areas, and the character designs and animations are alright[/list] [h1]Cons:[/h1] [list][*]opening doors to the rooms feels clunky, especially when you are running for your life; also, if you get too close to the doors, it’s hard to click on them, and you have to take a step back to open them [*](nitpick) no controller support, and the keybindings are not customizable (most people will be fine with the defaults though) [*](nitpick) while the voice acting is fine, some of the text is a bit different from what is actually being at times [*](nitpick) the footsteps sound is way too loud, and is the exact same on all three characters [*](nitpick) most areas looked like more of the same hallways and waiting rooms though, and the characters aren’t as realistic or appealing as the environments are[/list] The game took me around 4 hours to complete. I don’t feel the need to replay it, but people who want to experience it in both VR and on their desktops, or those who didn’t fully understand the story the first time might want to. [h1]Conclusion:[/h1] ARAYA is a decently made game. Sure, there are small improvements they could make, and the game is by no means perfect. Overall though, it’s not a bad pick-up for those looking for a combination of spooky atmosphere, jump scares, and tense chase sequences.

  I'm kinda dissapointed to this game after saw some teaser and demo on youtube. First for its graphic especialy on character model and movement in the cutscene I feel like it's a game from over ten years ago. Voice acting for thai language is terrible in most character. (But sounds ok for english, if you are thai and can understand english go for it). Poor control in some situation. It gave me so much headache (If some of you guys ok with that, good for you) Very buggy, in my case the game saved when my character droped under the ground and unplayable unless I have to restart the whole game, WTF! (I was playing on chapter 7 if you ask me) But it has decent story and sound effect and music and it can make you scare for good. If you don't mind the cons above it's a decent game for this price (ิbut it'll be good if a little bit cheaper). But for me it failed in many ways. I give it 3/10.

  [b]This game had SO MUCH potential, it hurts to see where it went.[/b] The beginning of this game was AMAZING. I was in to it, and ready to be scared. And for a while, I was trembling, but, as the game went on, it got less scary, and more annoying; almost as if the devs got tired and rushed the end. The final "puzzle" with Rama, was the end of me. If the rest of the game was as good as the first 30 minutes, the game would have earned a 5 star review from me, but I cannot even give it a recommendation at this point. If I could describe this game in two words, it would be [b]Outlast Clone[/b] On a side note, the translation was like 9.99/10; there were a few minor mistakes, but nothing that really detracted from the game at all. Story: 9/10 -- was really great. Gameplay: 2/10 -- I have played worse, but this is pretty low on the leaderboard. I would recommend based off the story alone, if you can look past it. But as it stands, a game should have good gameplay, and this game just doesn't have it.

  I truely believe this game is best played in VR, If your looking for a regular horror game(non VR) this game may not be for you. But if you have a Oculus Rift and want something atmospheric and creepy give this a try. With the headset on and volume high i genuinely find myself not wanting to explore at times. The sounds are spot on and immerses you in this hospital.(one jump scare had me spilling my beer) If you have a Rift and starving for an immersive horror experience, give this indie title a go. its 15 bucks well spent on a VR title on a platform with limited quality content. This gets me excited on what this studio does with VR moving forward. This is a VR experience from an Indie company not a AAA game,it is good for what it is.

  I made this review after I finished the game. Araya is an ok indie horror game. I had quite a good time playing it. Do I recommend this game? Hmm....yes and no. To be honest, I had some kind of love and hate relationship with Araya and her big boobs friend. Let's go to each topics one by one. ***Story There is nothing new in Araya in terms of story. The plot you'll see is something people become familiar with. Especially for Thai people, you can guess the whole story since the first chapter. There are some Thai beliefs that were put into the game which foreigners may not understand. Voice acting is quite ok for some characters but most are not good. ***Gameplay Overall gameplay is a bit below-par in my opinion. There are jump scares. But sadly, many times, the timing isn't right. Some events aren't connected to others. There were many times that I wasn't sure that the game crashed or were loading the next scene. Sometimes when I was bombarded by scary ghosts, I expected there would be something more. But there were gaps between those events and I felt bored more than scared. Some puzzles are a bit unrelated to the story. Characters animation is like a game during early 2000s era. ***Control The control is not okay. You can't customize your own buttons. The door opening mechanism is something new, but only at the first few times, after that you'll hate it. Especially when your character is running away from someone (or something). When you're being hunted, the game bypasses the clunky door opening mechanism and replaces with just hitting 'e' button. But it won't be like that the whole game. Sometimes you can do that, later...you just can't. And it's pretty annoying. ***Atmosphere It was quite good for me. As a Thai gamer, I always wanted to play Thai horror game. It could be scarier. But good enough for an indie company that has limited resources and budget. ***Overall The game isn't good but the price is also not expensive. If you have some money left in your steam wallet and want to try East-Asian style of horror games, you should buy it. Be aware of all the warning above. If you can overlook them, you'll have good time with Araya. But if you need a quality-assured product and you have a near perfect expectation, don't waste your time and money. You'll hate her later. +++PRO - Cheap - Thai ghosts - Creepy environment - Quite okay story ---CON - Control - Animation - Short - Bugs I gave it 6/10. PS. UPDATE YOUR GRAPHIC CARD DRIVER TO THE LATEST VERSION. It can reduce lagging viewport and randomly mouse jumping (my characters died many times because of this problem).

  Once you get past the initial awkwardness of the door-opening mechanics, this is actually a pretty scary game. In fact, just five to ten minutes in you'll come to realise that the game's use of sound goes beyond merely "scary" into the realms of downright fucking TRAUMATISING at times! Which is a good thing, of course, in a horror game, to have such terrifying sound; an almost obligatory thing, one might argue. Shame that so few indie horror developers seem to realise this... But not the makers of Araya. Oh no. Spooky but generally subtle music gives way to banshee-like shrieks and a din worthy of Hell itself, often at the shortest of notices. This is one game which knows how to build up suspense and pay it off, mostly aurally, with jump scares galore - fuck you all, when they work, they work great! - and an opening chase sequence which almost made this Outlast veteran break down into tears. I'm not saying it's "subtle": I'm saying it's by-and-largely EFFECTIVE, however that effect might be achieved. It also does some other things well which many other horror games don't: the flashlights, for example, are quite perfect. They illuminate enough, without illuminating TOO much, creating a kind of claustrophobic funnel which you view much of the game through. There's often a feeling that someone - or something - could be lurking just outside the peripherals of that persistent circular beam. And many is the time that I was afraid to turn around once I realised the door in front of me was locked: you never know what the game is gonna throw at you next, or when. The atmosphere, overall, is quite, quite excellent. The graphics, unfortunately, are not. Character models, in particular, are a bit on the chintzy side when viewed up close. Environments are also not-very-vividly realised, but this is all largely acceptable in an indie game of such otherwise decent quality. I'm not too sure about the fifteen dollar price-tag, though, and would probably advise most potential buyers to hold off for some kind of a sale. Myself, I play so many cheap horror games that I consider it frankly miraculous when one manages to be this tense, and of such a semi-reasonable length, and thereby consider my fifteen bucks well spent. But that's just me. If you're in any way, shape or form a "this wasn't worth fifteen bucks, maybe ten at most" kind of person, then definitely wait for a sale price. How scary did I find this game, honestly? Put it this way: this game made me oddly thankful for the fact that I DON'T yet own a VR headset. Honestly, that opening sequence was traumatising enough WITHOUT a headset, and there's plenty of other noteworthy "moments" in the few hours which follow. Not a "great" game, by any stretch, but a surprisingly good one which does what it primarily sets out to do: spook the bejesus out of you. Done deal, far as I'm concerned (though that ending really did suck). Verdict: 8/10. (PS You will often find yourself staring at a lengthy blank screen when you're pretty sure a load should be happening. Don't fret. It WILL load, in my experience. Just chalk it up to another of the game's stress-inducing tactics - at least, I'm gonna choose to BELIEVE it was all deliberately devised, haha - and you'll get there in the end.)

  I like horror games like Outlast, Layers of Fear - yes even Daylight is one of my favorites. This game really moved me to request a refund because of all these glitches, terrible controls and crashes during gameplay. Developer stated they fixed rendering errors and many other problems with the game - but not for me. You cannot really set up the controls. There is no option for e.g. toggling between pressing or holding the crouch key. You have to hold that crouch key all the time while you crouch. If you have no gamer keyboard there could be some "ghosting" because you have to press so many buttons at a tome. So guess what you have quicktime events. I had to press "W" (walk)+"Shift" (run) + "E" (you have to press that because of the QTE) and Ctrl (crouch) Even my Razer keyboard said NO,NO please stop pressing so hard!!!! Please not another key!!! Also jumping is hilarious. It doesn´t even look like the player jumps over an obstacle - NO! The player is like hover right through desks, beds or whatever you have to jump over. The enemies (I only saw that guy - naked from the waist up wielding a knive ) are hovering through objects too. That is stupid. Why doesn´t this guy even wear a shirt? Why is he walking (or hovering) like a snail??? Why is the player walking like in slowmo? Why does running feels like walking in Outlast? Why are the sounds suddenly break up and you hear nothing not even your footsteps?? Sometimes the game is blocking your view because you suddenly see your head or arm or whatever in front of you which is really weird and distracting. Guys I really don´t wanna sell it short but this game is technically bad, really really bad - exept the grapics because the game is powered by Unity engine. The tutorial was interesting had nice atmosphere but after that I got hooked.... NOT! If you like horror games and you don´t have Outlast, Daylight, Layers of Fear, Resident Evil 0 or Resident Evil HD Remaster. This is the better choice and worth the money!

  Not finished with the game yet but so far it's really good. Imagine a cross of Outlast and Dreadout.
