Unknown Host
Jen's Review
Unknown Host ended up being a really pleasant surprise.
I'll admit, I didn't go into this one expecting much. It was a smaller indie horror game that I picked up as part of a bundle, so I figured it would be a fun way to kill an hour or two.
Instead, I ended up enjoying it quite a bit.
The game is fairly short, but I actually think that's one of its strengths. It doesn't drag things out or overcomplicate the experience. It gets in, delivers a few solid scares, and tells its story without overstaying its welcome.
Visually, the game looked better than I expected. The graphics were well done, the environments were creepy, and everything came together to create a solid atmosphere. The jumpscares were also handled pretty well. They weren't constant, but there were enough of them to keep me on edge throughout the playthrough.
What impressed me most was just how polished the experience felt for a smaller indie title. Everything worked the way it was supposed to, and the game delivered exactly what I was hoping for—a fun, creepy horror experience without trying to be something it wasn't.
Overall, Unknown Host exceeded my expectations. It's not going to compete with the biggest names in horror, but for a short indie game—especially one I picked up in a bundle—it was a great surprise. If you're looking for a quick horror game with good visuals, a creepy atmosphere, and a handful of solid jumpscares, I'd definitely say it's worth giving Unknown Host a shot.
