A horror game set in a fast-food restaurant’s play area

The Ball Pit is a survival horror game where the player takes on the role of a protagonist who visits a fictional fast-food restaurant — with obvious similarities to a real fast-food chain. The character soon finds themselves lost in a maze of deadly tunnels. The game is available under a "name your own price" model, meaning players can pay to support the developer or choose to download it for free if they wish.

This game is part of a popular genre of horror games that are typically short, often featuring retro or simple graphics. It takes place in quite mundane scenarios. Other examples of this genre include Night of the Consumers and Security Booth.

The game takes place in a fast-food restaurant that, while fictional, is very obviously based on a real-world fast-food chain. The player takes control of a faceless protagonist who wants to go to the play area of the restaurant, but things soon take a dark turn when they do.

Explore, survive, and escape

The gameplay mechanics of The Ball Pit are quite straightforward. The player moves around the world in a first-person perspective, interacting with a limited array of objects in the world — mostly doors. The aim of the game is to escape the strange underground world they find themselves in.

A colorful horror experience

While the gameplay is quite standard for this type of first-person horror survival game, The Ball Pit does distinguish itself somewhat with the colorful visuals. It also does not use retro-styled graphics, as many of these games do.

Review summary

Pros

  • Colorful setting is more visually stimulating than many games in the genre
  • A relatively large game world to explore for this type of game
  • Manages to create a sufficiently tense atmosphere
  • Simple controls should be suitable for most skill levels

Cons

  • Does not save progress, meaning players who die must start from the beginning
