My secret word is: Clown

I FORGOT THIS WAS THE S*X ONE WHEN I BOOTED IT.

Needless to say, I was a little taken by surprise when the questions started...

...but then I was just along for the ride, and I have to say this game was highly entertaining. I can't help but hope Markiplier will play this one after he's finished with The Test. I would love to see his reaction.

My secret word is: Demonic

Again, the way this game is structured and a noticeable amount of the questions asked are very similar to The Test, but it was very interesting to see this one play more into the concept of demons/portals/etc than The Test does. Plus I'm just loving these games in general, so I don't mind in the least spending an entire afternoon playing every single one of these types of games just to collect all my secret words in anticipation of their next big project.

My secret word is: Submerged

The introduction to this game and a significant chunk of the questions are very similar to The Test, but it was still an enjoyable experience. The description of my 'fate' was incredibly well-written and gave me a chill up my spine (which, incidentally, is rare for me). I'm very curious to see what turns the sequel takes.

I just finished playing all three parts of The Test, and....damn...

...this hit harder than I expected.
The final act of this game is nothing short of brilliance. I've never before experienced something that takes a very critical look into your life and how you've spent your time thus far, but does so in a way that feels somehow uplifting and encouraging, despite how difficult some of the questions were to answer and how harsh the revealed truth is to face.

I implore you, if you're interested in this game because you saw Markiplier or any other YouTube/Twitch presence made videos on this: please...play this blind. The message at the end of this final chapter feels infinitely more meaningful if you do so.

My secret word is: Revelation.

My secret word is: Trust

Who knew this game could get so deep when the questions seem so superficial at first glance? The entire rest of my weekend is gonna be spent in a daze while I am thrust into an existential crisis and forced to re-evaluate my life and its trajectory.

Also doesn't help that I'm marathoning the entire trilogy in one sitting, but I have no regrets there; the messages hidden within this game are intriguing and thought-provoking, to say the least.

The analysis I received at the end of The Test wasn't what I expected to hear, nor was it something that immediately resonated with me the way newspaper horoscopes sometimes do, but after digesting the words for a while I realized it was...actually something I needed to hear; something I didn't know I needed to hear. Sometimes, life gives you opportunities to re-evaluate your life, and to put things in a different perspective. Sometimes what you need is a swift kick in the ass to get you to see all the opportunities you're missing in your life, so you can spend your time more wisely.

The craziest part is, you'd never expect that kick in the ass to come from a game like this.
You win this one, game. Ass kick has been received.

My Secret word is: Order

Weirdly satisfying, especially since I dislike cleaning in real life.

The music and sound design in this game make for a truly unique experience. Some of the puzzles are straightforward, while others are more challenging and require a bit more thinking and manipulation of the environment to figure out. That's a nice feature that adds another layer of variety in this intriguing game. I'll be playing it a second time through to get all the secrets!

I've played both the demo and the first chunk of the beta release, and I am SO excited for the official release! Completely original in both concept and graphic design, and not only are the controls smooth but every aspect about the gameplay itself is extremely intriguing. Neverending Nightmares is very successful in delivering psychological unease visually and through atmospheric ambience, just like pixel horror games such as "Mad Father" and "Witch's House" were able to do. Would definitely recommend this game who likes more psychological horror and an interesting yet somewhat cryptic plotline over blatant jumpscares and chases in the more "traditional" horror games.
