Early Access Review
BEHIND THE BARRIER
A stunning horror experience for friends and family

The game Behind the Barrier or almost better known under its code name New Unity Project 3 - Copy, is a recent hit and debut from the developers at SinnerG. The Horror experience is unmatched with anything I've played in my long time reviewing and consuming horror content all across the world.

The game starts you off by dropping the player inside a forest looking for a forgotten village haunted by a scary demon. In the 5 minutes you need to find the village, the game teaches you 2 of its most valuable principles:

"Use your head and dont use your head"

Yeah thats right... this game gets phillosophical, I bet you reading this review right now did not see that coming!
But, I hear you ask, does it do this in such a uncomparable way to every other game or even AAA titles?
In the journey you have to the village you find a Lantern and it constantly reminds you with what button you can interact with it, thats the part where you should not use your head.
On the same journey even when you face the deadliness of the demon, you have to use your brain, especially if you have a good memory, because otherwise you will forget, which houses to go through, where to put these occult statues and first of all what to do because the instructions are shown once at the start and cannot be accessed again.

That sounds like a noteworthy horror experience to me!

Added onto that is the scary design of the demon and the animation you get when he kills you, very spooky even for this month, I almost cried, but as a strong Kazakh man I refused to and went on with the playthrough. The demons fingers also reach outside the game! Yeah, I bet you didn't think that as well! He sits there and waits and doesnt let you turn his scary noises down in the settings and even worse; when you just need a break, he doesnt let you leave the game. He uses his black magic to block off the Return to Desktop button as well!
Thats still not the worst part about him... he also uses this magic to have you sit in the looking for lobby screen because he knows you dont have friends and will never find someone to play with. He really isnt just a "unscary video game villain" he is a spooky menace threatening you in- and outside the game.

This game is worth a try. Trust me and be careful this game is not for the weak minded and can even break strong Kazakh man like me...
