  Time slows down in every hallway, but the overall experience is fairly short and can be completed in a handful of gameplay sessions. The main story doesn’t overstay its welcome, but its conclusion, including the “true ending”, leaves something to be desired. Don’t let that sour you, though. The Coma: Recut is a fairly solid experience and is a fun edition for a survival-horror fan’s collection.

  Ultimately, The Coma: Recut’s biggest problem might be that it is a bit too simple in design and maybe having a few other gameplay elements would have pushed it a level higher. But in the end, I never expected to like it as much as I did and I thoroughly enjoyed my five or so hour playthrough. With a sequel teased, I’m eagerly awaiting what is to come because they have a base already there to make something truly wonderful.

  The Coma: Uncut is a good game with some jump scares and a creepy atmosphere, and I like it overall, but having to be exactly centered over any given icon to activate the action really puts a damper on the experience.

  The Coma: Recut is interesting in concept, but flawed in its execution. Mixing survival horror with stealth and visual novel elements provides a unique side-scrolling experience. While the anime art style and slow pace might detract from the horror, along with the main mechanic becoming repetitive instead of scary, there is still enough narrative content to get invested in the twisted tale of Sehwa High.

  Fans of horror games should look into this release. It isn’t amazing but it does a lot of things really well. Hopefully some of the issues like dialogue sounds or the few freezes get fixed in patches. I’m looking forward to what the team behind this game does next. They’ve made a fan of me for sure and I hope there’s a proper artbook release for The Coma: Recut eventually.

  The Coma: Recut comes recommended, but beware: while you do expect a bit of clunkiness in the controls for a horror title, as it adds to the effect, the unresponsiveness of the buttons at key moments where you need to either hide, dodge or dim your flashlight can make this a challenging experience at times.
