The visual detail in Erie is amazing, putting most other free horror games to shame. A strange kind of collectible, sure, but it’s a sort of joke from the designers – just listen to the meow and you’ll know you’re close to one of them. After a couple of minutes you’ll be searching the environment for clues, notes, keys and collectibles such as black cats. The level of detail goes so far as smoothly introducing the player to the controls, just like in any polished retail game. It’s not necessary to say that this rescue mission will quickly turn into a frantic fight for survival. You have to investigate the mysterious disappearances of the inhabitants from a town close to the nuclear plant and finally discover who or what is taking them. In other words, you have no weapons the can is only for helping to navigate the environment, painting the walls and floors to give you a clue about where you have already been and where you should explore next. Set in an abandoned nuclear generator, the player has to explore the place in a first-person view armed only with a spray can. This is a survival horror done the way they should always be, using a very singular setting and some nice gameplay ideas to enrich what would otherwise be just another run-of-the-mill horror game. With the horror genre booming in the freeware indie scene (although we’re getting a bit tired of the usual Slender gameplay template of search this, pick that), Erie is another entry to the genre and one of the best so far.
