REVIEW
__________________________________

I normally don't present very short games as videos on YouTube but I really like what Stalls presented because it highlights a point perfectly. That no matter how long a game lasts, if it succeeds in what it sets out to do, then that's all that matters. And it certainly does that.

Despite the limited playtime and constricted environment, building upon an atmosphere of tension and terror effectively is eons better than dragged out gameplay or using filler means of horror like cheesy jumpscares. Not to mention the few scares in this game were timed nicely to the minimal gameplay where it was very cohesive and not out of place.

I'm not blind to the fact it's probably a lot easier doing this in a small game. Executing a balance of gameplay and horror is not as demanding as opposed to a hour long game as plot would also have to factor in alongside stretched out gameplay and horror. But the very important factor here is the principal of effective horror where like I said in the video, how the game approaches horror is more often than not the most important thing a horror game can provide compared to the story and gameplay. If people aren't feeling the impact of it, then why even bother?

Quickie or not, TAGITS does not disappoint with its performance as while the experience was short-lived, it was fun and enjoyable all the same. Definitely 2 thumbs up.
