Lakefront Restaurant 1.0

Short and intense horror game for free

A midnight task in a creepy restaurant turns into a nightmare is the premise of Lakefront Restaurant, a free-to-download adventure horror game developed by FamousPizza. Sprinkled with gameplay elements from psychological and survival horror genres, this indie title offers daring players an intense and bewildering experience in a short run.

Lakefront Restaurant doesn’t have the elaborate design of smashing epic horror game series such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill. Although, what it lacks in flashy and realistic graphics, it makes up for in randomized and acute scenes that are haunting and can leave you wanting more.

Spine-chilling errand

Would you say yes to a co-worker who calls you in the middle of the night asking for help to finish up a task in a creepy restaurant? Sounds suspicious, right? In Lakefront Restaurant, you are left with no choice but to say yes and get it done. While working, though, you are confronted with the restaurant’s sinister past which you have to deal with before quitting the place.

There’s nothing remarkable about the premise of this experimental game. Midnight foray into a haunted site just to find the character scurrying for their life is a generic plot used in many horror titles. However, with its randomly generated events and clever use of retro-style graphics, this promising little game achieved something incredible. It turned a dime-a-dozen story into a unique experience that supplies players with dopamine drips.

Part of the game’s success also lies in the duration, which only runs for around 30 minutes. Short, yes, but not sweet, terrifying rather. It turns out pegging the time at half an hour is a perfect decision. As expected,jump scares, blood, gore, flashing lights, and other sensitive materials abound in this game. Some scenes and visual effects can get extreme for the young and the inexperienced.

Worth a shot

For avid fans of horror games, Lakefront Restaurant is a noteworthy alternative that deserves your attention if you’re looking for a breather from bombastic and mainstream titles. It features random events and retro-style visuals, creating an unusual experience that can get you hooked. Plus, it only goes for around 30 minutes. As for the young and the curious, the horror techniques employed here can be over the top, so beware.
