Waffle Cone Willie | Full Demo Walkthrough | No Commentary
135Today we take a look at a demo for an awesome horror game that is coming out later this year. Waffle Cone Willie tells the story of a haunted Ice Cream Truck that roams the streets of a suburban neighborhood. We are tasked with finding various pieces of an artifact to stop Willie once and for all. The cool thing about this game is the enviroment that you get to explore. Quite a large area of a nice suburban neighborhood is open where you can enter various houses and solve different puzzles.
In the demo you are safe as long you are inside a house and you can take that time to catch your breath, read lore items or solve puzzles. There are still some scares, but you are not in danger. Once you head outside and are on the streets you have to listen carefully if you hear Willie's tune as he patrols around. Once he sees you he will pursue you until you head inside a house.
It really makes for an interesting gameplay mechanic where you can be more relaxed indoors while having suspense and thrilling chases outdoors.
The houses themselves are also very detailed and the town feels surprisingly pretty and relaxing. Most horror games take place in old, ruined buildings with the same brown and grey hallways, but this is actually a very beautiful and green setting. I love it and this demo made a really good first impression. I cannot wait for the full release in October.
