Dread XP and Nigel Bach Presents:

BAD BEN

Experience the first Found Footage Video Game that isn’t about Slender Man (citation needed)! Based on the cult hit micro-micro-micro-budget film series, the Bad Ben game is here to take the beloved franchise digital. Take the role of Tom Riley—voiced by the man himself, Nigel Bach—as he once again makes the incredibly informed decision to buy a house sight unseen at a sheriff’s auction.

Obviously, the night does not go by un-ghosted. Soon after his arrival, paranormal happenings begin to plague the unflappable Tom. You’ll have to get to the bottom of these spectral shenanigans, mostly by finding keys. Because it’s an indie horror game.

Do you have what it takes to survive the night?

Featuring:

  • Yet another haunted house
  • Fetch quests
  • Zero jump-sc OMG A GHOST haha got you
  • Limitless swears
  • Unlockable content (not DLC, unless it does well then who knows)
  • Voice by Nigel Bach
  • A genuine blend of comedy and scares
  • That vintage “corpsepile” smell

7.4/10 - Comedy Gold, (15-20 mins), this game is great at using witty dry self aware humour which carries this game. Not to say it's not a great game without it but the humour is what made me enjoy the game so much. In addition the story has paranormal activity/ original resident evil feels to the game (it's not scary at all even though there are jumpscares ) . It takes elements from many things but it creates a great experience with a fun little story. The main protagonist is so funny that I'd love to play as him in other horror games and see how he'd react to strange situations. This game was a great ride, but it does have some things which I wish were improved. This would include the movement being slightly too stiff with the house being hard to navigate in at times due to the controls and the ending is a bit messy although enjoyable!

 This is one awesome game but it laugh alot

Great work!

Greatest game I've ever played!!

When you're going insanely obscure niche for insanely obscure niche with the homie and he pull out the Bad Ben horror game

I was really curious to see if you get anything after beating Hard Mode. It turns out there’s a hidden message after the credits, which I’ve included in a short segment at the end of the video.

Great Game, great humor.

Sehr cooles "Horror" Games das sich selbst und das Genre nicht zu ernst nimmt. Es ist gut spielbar, hat viele lustige Elemente und überraschende Wendungen!

für 30 Minuten kostenlose Spielzeit eine Absolute Empfehlung meinerseits.

Einziger Minuspunkt sind die fehlenden Optionen für Fenstermodi und Auflösung.

For the ability to cuss on command alone i give this game 5 stars. For everything else, sadly, I cannot give more.
