  A nice little RPGmaker horror game. A bit on the easy side (even played on Nightmare difficulty). Excels in SFX usage, writing, setting, and the main character's comments on everything you interact with. Though would have liked Ayumi's actions to have had more of an impact to the story... And more dangerous obstacles on Nightmare that challenge me to survive. (I was able to cheese or sprint my way most of the time.) Quite forgiving. That said, I think this makes a worthy addition to rpgmaker horror. Can't get enough! And not many cheap deaths and scares. Also, there seems to be talk of future updates with enhanced graphics, some voicing and such. I'm looking forward to revisiting then!

  Decent little game for the price, [strike]and apparently achievements are coming[/strike] (cards are coming soon). I found the puzzles interesting, but I was able to go to the Old Hall section BEFORE the Greenhouse Section. This made the game more than a bit confusing. Especially since her dialog at certain parts was commenting on what happened in the Old Hall section, but then a few minutes later was speaking as if it never happened. There is a normal and nightmare difficulty setting, and apparently the nightmare difficulty has a different ending. [strike]Once achievements unlock I'll play again and see if that's true.[/strike] EDIT: Achievements are out, and I'm going to play on Nightmare now! With the changes the developer has made and the price point I'm changing my tenative buy to a solid on. The game is worth the few dollars.

  Ayumi: Enhanced Edition is a great little game. I purchased this in January shortly after the 2.55 update, and was pleasantly surprised at how well this title is put together. The game makes heavy use of pre-made assets, but it does so in a way that builds an atmosphere of horror and suspence. The scares are spaced out in such a way that the game builds up a sense of dread, and then does something shocking, which made me jump more than a couple of times. As far as content, there's a lot of game here. You can finish this title in about an hour or so, but there's so many little things to find, as well as alternate endings. The game's story is interesting, and is sprinkled with bits of Lovecraftian mythos, which really helps to set the stage. This product is well worth the asking price, and the creator Lord Rutsah has put a lot of love into this title, and it shows. TL;DR: Crazy space Cthulhu horror game with Yellow Mythos, and lots of scares! Buy it!

  Ayumi is a pretty good horror game at a nice price. I've loved rpgmaker horror games for several years now. With a crappy laptop that couldn't cope with most games, they were the only games I could play without giving my laptop a heart attack. I won't say Ayumi is up there with The Witch's House and Ib, but it's a decent effort. I'm a sucker for spaceship horror, and the atmosphere to be found in Ayumi's eerie deserted spaceship did not disappoint me. Although it claims inspiration from Lovecraft and The King in Yellow, I found more in common with Dead Space (the dev is seemingly aware of this - peppering the game with references). The story doesn't suffer from the comparison however. Ayumi doesn't go out of its way to explain what is happening, putting you more in the shoes of the protagonist as she explores. In the protagonist I found someone I could sympathise with, particularly as I started to suspect just what had happened. There is lots to explore and lots of secrets to uncover. The game is relatively short, and even shorter if you just go for the ending. There were a few things I disliked - the enemies who kill you instantly when you walk into them. Granted, they are easy to avoid, but in the dark I found myself wandering into bugs more often than I care to admit. The credits system helps here, as you can use them to activate security mechs which clear the area for you. As far as I can tell there are no original assets, everything is from rpgmaker. But the creativity present in the game makes up for it in my opinion. There is no menu, or inventory screen. The only way to quit the game, besides closing manually, is in the save rooms and there's no way to see what items you have. The latter annoyed me more, as I couldn't see which keys I had. There's also no map, which didn't really bother me but was kind of annoying at certain points. All in all, I enjoyed Ayumi - I'm sure I'll go back to it at some point to see if there are other endings, and to try and pick up the other achievements.

  If you like horror and rpgmaker this is your cup of tea. Also, while the orginal game is still here, they did clean up alot of the chase and puzzles so it overall is a much smoother experience (and doesn't detract from the atmosphere).

  Ayumi is a very peculiar RPG Maker game. It isn't a rpg, but a very atmosferic and mistery driven survivor horror. You play as Ayumi, a child looking for her family during a black out in a spaceship. Her options to deal with menaces are the same of other kids: running away or crawling in a tight space. What really made game good is how they set the mood: Visibility is very limited, only to a short radius around your character. The soundtrack will make you feel from slightly uneasy to full paranoid. Story is told by various pieces and hints scattered and hidden through out the game. The weak point of the game is the menu, which you can't access during gameplay. Overall is good mix of horror and mistery. 7/10.
