Boo Scared 7: Summer in Skulboevo is not a horror game with only jump scares. Right from the first minutes, the game throws players into a strange village where every character seems to hide something. You arrive in Skulboevo looking for Okak, but the more you investigate, the more the game expands with bizarre quests, unforeseen mysteries, and a succession of events that are both amusing and tense. It’s a rare blend of open-world exploration, puzzles, and story-driven adventure that few other horror games can manage.
The main goal is to find Okak. But the trip is not a straight line.
Players can roam throughout Skulboevo, meet NPCs, pick up quests, and get small bits of information. Funny thing is, a lot of the quests that look useless at first end up giving you important hints.
Rather than hurrying straight to your destination, the game invites you to explore the landscape and take in the details of what is around you.
Players can do more than merely converse with NPCs:
The game world feels alive with these random behaviours.
The most memorable part isn’t the weird creatures, but how the game mixes outrageous humour with a mystery ambiance.
One minute you are tackling a problem in a gloomy place. Minutes after you find an NPC with amazingly amusing chat. This frequent change in speed stops the voyage from getting weighty, but yet gives it a sense of intrigue.
Beneath the meme façade, a choice system that directly impacts several endings. A couple of little choices can drastically shift the direction of the story.
Boo Scared 7: Summer in Skulboevo is a unique mix of investigation, puzzle-solving, and open-world development in a unique meme horror environment. There is no set path the players are forced down; instead, the tale is created by the encounters, objectives, and choices. If you want a game with a light horror theme, free exploration, and a lot of secrets to solve, then Boo Scared 7: Summer in Skulboevo is definitely worth trying.
