Goomba Stomp: 5.5 / 10 by Taylor Smith

I can only recommend NightCry to the most diehard of Clock Tower fans, people that enjoy the old point-and-click style of games of old and the weird shenanigans of classic video game horror. The barebones story, the cardboard characters, and stiff gameplay can only be saved by the hardest cases of nostalgia.

Digitally ed: 4.5 / 5

Your enjoyment of NightCry is going to depend a lot on your perspective, which is why I suspect this is going to be one of the most divisive horror games since Deadly Premonition. To judge NightCry at face value would be to grossly overlook all the work that Nude Maker has done to create an authentic Clock Tower-style, classic stalker horror experience for the modern day.

VGChartz: 4 / 10 by Adam Cartwright

NightCry almost reaches “so bad it’s good” status, but veers on the side of frustrating a little too often.
