- Overall Don't Knock Twice is quite a hard one to judge. It does what it sets out to do - scare you silly - rather well, and without resorting to cheap jump scares to boot. But with its short length and limited replay value, I'm not sure if it provides value for money. If you're after a new VR experience to enjoy which you'll then scare your friends and family with however, it might just be worth a purchase.
Richard Seagrave · Apr 23, 2018 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Ultimately, Don’t Knock Twice is the type of game that the Switch does not currently have a lot of, and for that alone, some might be inclined to try it out. It’s cheap to buy and it takes less than two hours to complete, so for those that enjoyed the movie then this can be a decent companion. For everybody else, I feel there is far too little to fully enjoy the experience. There is little to no replay value, once you’ve finished the game, there is no reason to go back.
Jamie Ward · Oct 17, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - On a platform that is destined to become almost overcrowded with colourful, vibrant, ‘happy’ games, having a burst of horror as an option is very welcome indeed. Unfortunately, this isn’t the game to showcase the genre, nor is it one to showcase games in general.
Ryan Craddock · Oct 17, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Don't Knock Twice doesn't share company with the likes of Layers of Fear so much as it does with the large number of “VR Experiences” flooding digital storefronts: quick and dirty cash-ins that feel more like tech demos than full-fledged games. Don't Knock Twice is more solidly constructed than some, but it's largely unambitious and forgettable. It seems content to be a ground-level thriller at a time and on a platform with plenty of hungry competition.
Justin Clark · Sep 17, 2017 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Don’t Knock Twice feels very much like it was conceived by making a checklist of features and ideas, doing just enough to include those core essentials, and then stopping short of delivering much in the way of true horror game inspiration.
David Jagneaux · Sep 06, 2017 Reviewed on PCRead full review - If you have a VR setup and want that sort of introductory horror game to show your friends or family, Don’t Knock Twice is a great buy. It’s not overly expensive and a playthrough should take over an hour. If you consider yourself a horror buff and want the ultimate thrill, you have not found it here and I suggest you keep looking.
Nicholas Plouffe · Sep 05, 2017 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Virtual reality escalates the atmosphere to a much more sustainable level, but there’s nothing about Don’t Knock Twice that makes it a must play horror game, inside of virtual reality or out.
Chandler Wood · Sep 05, 2017 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Don’t Knock Twice scores big for atmosphere, but fails to expand on some of its better ideas. A follow up game with a cleaned-up control scheme would be welcome, as long as the story is less linear and encourages more exploration.
Oliver Roderick · Mar 31, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - The scariest thing about Don't Knock Twice is how poorly it plays on the Nintendo Switch. Constant stuttering, clipping, and lag shatter immersion before it can even happen. Without the novelty of virtual reality, the manor is just another haunted house with bland puzzles to pad a painfully short campaign. Gameplay boils down to interacting with as many objects as possible in order to find the right item to proceed over and over again.
Renan Fontes · Oct 17, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - As far as Gone Home style first-person narrative-driven games go, Don't Knock Twice is decent. It has two endings, which is welcomed, and a couple of interesting puzzles to mix things up a bit, even if the solution is way too obviously spelled out. The story is told in a hazy way to keep a semblance of mystery about it, and the restraint with how the Baba Yaga is depicted keeps her scary.
