New Review!

Just as good a game as before except now I can finish the ending since the update! I even got the ‘good ending’! Devs, thank you for the update, I just happened to come across it, hopefully more people do, because it still a fun and scary game! Issues: not sure its just on my Iphone 7 or IOS, but I noticed the ball of leaves that rolls into you, was a giant pink ball & crying girl was a giant pink square. This didn’t bother me, but could affect other newer players experience with the game. And lastly the house disappeared in the forest but I could hear the sound of it and was able to enter still, it was quite confusing the first time though. Thanks & hope to see more like this in the future!

Self-indulgent boring and beautiful

I wanted to love this game. I really did. It has beautifully creepy artwork, a wonderfully dark atmosphere, and a (initially) cryptic and intriguing plot. Sadly, the more you play, the more you realize that there's little beneath the surface - and to make matters worse, the developers make you repeat the same mundane action ad nauseum to highlight this lack of depth. You slowly crawl through a forest to find something that's never explained to you and then end up back at the same house to repeat it all over again. And the narrator spews overly cryptic messages that never amount to anything and reveal nothing - I just skipped through them after enough levels because it just wastes time and only serves to add "creepy" vibes to the game. The "rules" to the game are stupidly based on luck and chance. I really cant emphasize this enough - this is not a good game. The art is beautiful - but the game is not. Im shocked by all of the great reviews here (which convinced me to buy the game). Its not a horror masterpiece - its an exercise in patience. Also the swipe controls are VERY poorly implemented and often result the wrong action being performed...so even on a technical level, this game poorly performs. Two stars for the art direction and atmosphere. Everything else that actually makes this a game fails in all respects.

Spooooky, made me jump, weird & wonderful game

This game is kind of bizarre...but in a satisfying, unexpected way...like I didn't really understand what the gameplay was, what to do...so your feeling of aloneness and listens in the creepy house is intensified..literally gave me goosebumps at one point...just..frigging spooky...the ending was a bit...Er..well left me wanting more..need more story...but in it's way was just as bizarre as the entire game..so...for 1.99 well worth it and gave me several evenings of scary play. Just get it, you need to experience this kind of game atmosphere.

Brilliantly terrifying

This game isn't scary because if grotesque monsters or intense popups. It's scary because it likes to get inside your head and stress you out. There are weird cryptic messages and noises hidden all over that don't seem to have any meaning other than to freak out the player, and it works. Whenever a monster enters your house, there is a feeling of panic that looms around until sunrise. However, none of these things are necessarily bad. One of the biggest things this game has going for it is it's beautiful art style that only adds to the atmosphere. Strongly recommended to any fan of the horror genre, or anyone interested in trying it out.

Phenomenal

This is one of the best games I've ever played, especially on iOS. It's right up there with Tiger Style's games, The Silent Age, Sword & Sorcery, & Osmos. The atmosphere is absolutely chilling, but very fun at the same time. The graphics and art make for a very nostalgic experience, especially if you love Halloween. The jump scares are actually enjoyable rather than unbearable, which is a major plus in my book. The highlight of the game though is by far the sound design and soundtrack, very creepy and downright unnerving. Cannot praise this game enough.

Epic.

The game is so much more stressful then FNaF I love both the games but this game actually gives me the creeps! XD great game love the art style and I love how you just can't camp in a single room forever!greatly put together love the character you play as (I got a soft spot for insane scientists with wacky hair :3 idk why) so all around 5 stars for great art gameplay suspense etc :D ...but now that i play it I see that the hiding mechanic is bull...great game but the monsters ALWAYS see me hiding not fair I'm not even over exaggerating no matter what I'm found....

Excellent Horror Game

Step aside slenderman you are no longer terrifying as their is more things to be afraid of when playing this game then being told to get X pages to run away from Y monster because that type of gameplay is old and reused especially on the PC along with the mobile devices. A 2D game with beautiful smooth graphics, steady all around frame rate and a low crashing rate makes Knock Knock unique from the slenderman titles and other so-called horror games that end way too early.

Okay, well...

This game was great for awhile... Creepy lil crazy dude walking around changing light bulbs and opening doors, ( that's probably what made him crazy) sounds that creep anyone out and then the knocking... Oh HECK NO!!! That was awesome! The guest come in and that took the creep level over the top. This was all great for awhile and well worth the money just for the scare. However, this drags on and on and never makes sense. I can say if you just want a creepy time, buy it and play it. This game is pretty short, it will scare you and that's all we want in the end anyway.
