About

There is an unusual cabin deep in the woods. It had served as a laboratory and a dwelling for three generations of Lodgers. But as of late the latest Lodger has been noticing weird changes in familiar surroundings; things are missing, noises and rattle heard. Something odd is coming out of the woods. Come night, it seems like someone's made himself at home in the twilight of rooms, attics, and cellars.

Knock-Knock is a game with great sound work, a nice, unsettling art style, but several flaws. Its mechanics are never explained. You can expect to replay the entire thing over again to see its “best” and “good” endings. With no real way to see if you’ve made decent progress other than to play until the end.

Knock Knock does very well at creating an atmosphere. The art style, the creepy musings of your character, and the way that you never feel safe at any point during the game ensures that you'll always be on the edge of your seat. Sadly, it's sometimes much too vague to be consistently enjoyable - which is a problem for such a short game. ...Knock Knock isn't quite a nightmare, but with a little more focus, it could have been a dream to play.

Recommended for everyone regardless of age (well, perhaps 7 ) or video game knowledge.

The Lodger is an interesting character thrown into a game that tries too hard to be strange. After finishing the game within the three hour mark there is little to no reason to go back, and the game didn’t leave me with a lasting impression due to having perhaps too many wacky visions thrown at me. A bit like watching a Monty Python marathon where you remember the fish slapping, but not all the weird animations.

There’s little to not like about Knock-Knock. The comic-style graphics look great, the gameplay is immersive, and it has a high creepy factor. Although the controls might have been more enjoyable if I had an iOS controller to use instead. Overall, anyone who likes a Roguelike survival game will appreciate what Knock-Knock has to offer.

Its early moments make it appear poised to work its way into your mind and rattle you from the inside. But when it becomes clear that success isn't a matter of overcoming psychological terrors but of discerning rigid, obfuscated logic, Knock-knock reveals itself to be not something horrifying that defies all understanding, but simply a mundane, frustrating little puzzle box.
