A haunted walk through the smelling amusement park can surprise, entertaining and frightening at the same time. The park is ideal leisure for one autumn evening. [Issue#258]

Though a little unfocused, The Park manages to deliver a surprisingly personal and powerful story. Scary at times, the real horror comes not from monsters or figments of the imagination, but from that which strikes much closer to home.

The Park runs on standard-but-efficient horror fuel: whispering sounds and child’s cries, all-enveloping darkness and creaking of abandoned yet living park rides. Hansel and Gretel’s story, intermixed with deeply personal horrors of maternity. [Issue#204, p.85]

The Park is more unnerving that outright scary, though there are a few attempts at jump scares scattered throughout the game.

It’s a low cost horror game that gives you a decent enough storyline to justify the price tag. It’s also a short game though, and not a memorable one. Get it only if you truly love this kind of product.

Even though it has some interesting ideas, you’ll be mostly a passive observer on this one time only ride.

Although the Park offers a respectable level design, it is failing on all other aspects. It ignores the story and gameplay rules of the horror titles, and the result is an experience that you can easily miss.
