Review: It's an extremely long joke without a punchline.
Sorry to say, Necrophobia was really lacking to me. While it had flesh and bones, puzzles and fighting, it lacked heart. There was no scares at all, not even a cheap jumpscare. The closest thing to a scare I saw was the inital Stalker flying across the room, and then the... zombie "scare" by the window. There was no solid scares or scenes where you needed to FEEL scared, but that doesn't mean it didn't keep me intrested. I downloaded both parts of the map and I always was on the edge of my seat to see whats coming next. My final score is:
6.7/10

The problem is using half-life 2 assets without any other assets means Its very limited what I have to work with and most of it can be expected so it wont be as scary. But thanks for the review, I always try to improve.

It's a decent map, just not a good horror map. Thanks for not getting mad over it, and the next map you make, I'm happy to give it a fair review.

Apologies for late reply, remember to check out my other horror maps too if you are interested. You might enjoy them too.

I suppose this review is forgetting one thing. There are other forms of horror and jumpscares are the cheapest of them all. I've played a map that someone made that was a re-creation of Never Lose Hope Hospital from Nightmare House 2. Which, I think that is one of the better horror maps on here for one thing: Atmosphere. Which, personally, I hate maps that just use jumpscares to 'scare' their players (they don't scare, they startle and almost never have any lasting impact).

So... if this map has none or very few jumpscares in it then it's likely better than most other horror maps out there.
