WHAT HAPPENED Review for Steam

What Happened, developed by Genius Slackers and published by Katnappe, is an interesting and adrenaline-boosting first-person game. The players will play as a boy named Stiles as he faces the challenges of Highschool. Not only that, but he is also bullied and has anxiety/suicidal thoughts. What Happened is a game that sheds light on the daily challenges that teenagers must face, as players are able to see it first hand through Stile’s point of view.

WHAT HAPPENED Review for Steam

When I first launched What Happened, creepy music and flashing lights started to play. It set the mood for what type of game I was about to play. On top of all this, the lobby for the actual game was very cool and interactive! The player was set into the perspective of Stiles, and you could move around into different rooms. Each room you entered either started the game, took you into the options tab, or quit the game and sent you back to the desktop. I really enjoyed this cool feature, and I believe more games should use this type of lobby.

As for the game-play itself, I mostly enjoyed it. The controls were quite simple, and I learned them quickly. There were multiple puzzles I had to solve in order to proceed to the next part of the game, and they were mainly easy. I did run into some issues, such as not being able to open doors or not finding the next segment to the puzzle, wasting time.

What Happened Key Features:

  • Psychological thriller in which you guide high school student Stiles on an uncompromising journey through his troubled teenage mind.
  • Unique first person perspective on an individual’s journey through anxiety and depression.
  • Densely atmospheric world of waking nightmares infused with distorted memories.
  • Environmental puzzles and cues guide you through the twisted corridors of Stiles’ mind.
  • The empathy you show for the character will subtly affect the outcome of his journey.

I have been playing video games ever since I was a little kid, and I enjoy shooter/thriller games the most.
