- I really wanted to like this game – I honestly did. There are some genuinely terrifying and horrific elements in the game, but the performance issues, bugs, super long load times, and frustrating game mechanics just completely overrode any enjoyment or terror that I could get out of it. The game is also only available digitally, which is a bit of a downer if you like keeping a physical library as I do. If you’re dead set on trying this game, I’d honestly recommend the PC version over this. If not, I’d recommend checking out a fan translation of Clock Tower on Super Famicom or checking out the PS1 sequel if you can get it for a good price.
Kevin Chapman · Feb 24, 2019 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - While I’m glad that there are developers still attempting to bring their games to the Vita, I’m beyond disappointed with NightCry. There aren’t many horror games for the system and this could have been an excellent addition to a library in need, but Vita owners deserve better than this. NightCry has some good ideas but the execution is nothing short of disastrous. It’s extremely glitchy and at times borderline unplayable.
Leo Faria · Feb 04, 2019 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - It's a shame that there are so many fundamental gameplay issues, because NightCry really does have a lot of potential. There are definitely promising concepts with the plot, multiple endings, and unique horror gameplay elements, but it's all overshadowed by the bugginess of everything else. As one Steam reviewer eloquently put, "it needs more time in the oven."
Caitlin Cooke · Apr 10, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - The kills and creative deaths are actually very entertaining, and even the bizarre acting ends up working for the lack of budget. Maybe one day it can be salvaged into the cult hit people would love, since it is very clear that the ones behind NightCry really did care about what they were making. It is a shame that their vision is suffocating under the weight of so many technical flaws.
Albert Lichi · Apr 07, 2019 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - If you’re particularly interested in an old-fashioned horror title it might be exactly what you’re after. I certainly didn’t have a bad time with it, but it’s not something I can recommend unless you’re willing to put up with a massive amount of jank for an experience that definitely isn’t the best on the market.
Adam Cartwright · Feb 13, 2019 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - NightCry is an incredible experience that's only held back by its extremely poor polish. The controls need a lot of work, especially when trying to escape, and overall, the presentation needed more work in some areas, like the character animations and environment. If willing to look past the cosmetic aspects, though, NightCry is a nightmare that won't be forgotten.
Izzy Lichi · Aug 18, 2017 Reviewed on PCRead full review - NightCry goes beyond the usual borders of broken games and into new nightmarish territory. I have frankly never played a game as rife with issues as this one. If ever there were a game that could be labelled "unplayable", NightCry is the game. Outside of not loading at all, I can't think of another way this game could fail. If NightCry were the last game on Earth, I would not play it. I mean that literally. It's that bad.
Eric Hauter · Jan 31, 2019 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - Recomendar NightCry es complicado, aunque estamos seguros de que gustará a algunos jugadores muy concretos. Es un juego totalmente desfasado al que es difícil acceder, pero que guarda buenas ideas y buenos momentos. No está hecho para todos, principalmente porque su sistema de control y su apartado técnico es una barrera que puede ser difícil de salvar.
Luiz Vázquez · Apr 12, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - NightCry no nos hará gritar demasiado, pero es un título de terror lo suficientemente sólido como para mantenernos en tensión e incluso sufrir. Su funcionamiento, lejos del de cualquier otro survival horror, lo puede hacer destacar o chocar... pero basta con haber disfrutado de la saga Clock Tower para que resulte totalmente encantador.
Jose A. Rodríguez · Apr 11, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Abbiamo citato abbastanza difetti di NightCry da giustificare il giudizio completamente negativo sul gioco. Volendo potremo aggiungere i continui vicoli ciechi creati dal game design mediocre, che causano morti continue e a volte inevitabili, oppure potremo parlare dei caricamenti che spezzano l'azione di continuo.

Trailers & Screenshots:
NightCry is set on a cruise ship, and you have been invited along for the cruise of a (possibly short) lifetime. While your surroundings are luxurious and the guests are friendly, not everything is as it should be. The guests and the crew start to turn up dead, the victims of some foul murderer.
