NightCry
Released Mar 2016

Evaluation
NightCry launched on March 28, 2016 as a complete point-and-click horror adventure game. All three DLC items (Soundtrack, Artbook, and Storyboards) were released the day after launch on March 29, 2016, and are purely supplemental content — not gameplay expansions. Following launch, the developer issued a series of bug fix and quality-of-life patches through June 29, 2016, addressing camera issues, subtitle timing, and various bugs. After that final patch in June 2016, all developer communication on this game went silent. No new gameplay content, expansions, or future plans were ever announced. The news posts from 2018 and 2019 are publisher-wide Playism announcements covering sales and other titles — none of them reference NightCry specifically in any meaningful way. The game launched as a finished product and received only maintenance patches in its first few months. There is no indication of any planned or ongoing content development.

About this game
A calming cruise, an unexpected horror.
Welcomed aboard a luxurious cruise liner, you are spending your time enjoying this rare opportunity.But at the height of the evening, things are not as they appear as a murder brings it all to a grinding halt. With no idea which direction to turn, blame is thrown around the ship in panic as the guests start to suspect one another.
As night falls and a cry echoes out through the ship, the true nightmare begins.
Search for the answers and save yourself and others from a terror you can't begin to explain.
NightCry is a 3D point-and-click adventure game. Click to move your character and search the ship. Interact with objects by selecting them. Make sure you check it all carefully, for the clues you need may not be easy to find.
But searching isn't all you will be doing. As you search, you will be haunted, and the Scissor Walker will be coming for you.
In Exploration Mode, explore the cruise liner for the answers you seek. Learn about the strange and often gruesome happenings that currently plague the ship, solve the puzzles and seek the route that will lead you to safety.
But be warned, searching through the ship's secrets will lead you to trouble and frantic escapes are the only way to survive.
Run, hide and stay quiet for it is coming, and maybe you will survive long enough to learn the true horrors of this oncoming evil force.
Please be advised that the current system requirements are still temporary.
