I ain't gonna sugarcoat it: It's not amazing. BUT, however, it does it's job well.
Let's get all the bad stuff out first. The sprites. Mainly the doll ones. Not exactly the greatest or most fitting, but hey. They creeped me out a tad, so it did what it set out to do.
Second, the random boss fight. It's just GFZ3 Eggman, so not great.
And it was also a little on the short side, the true "scares", I'll say.
Now for the good stuff.
The level design is AMAZING! It creates a creepy aura and a sense of not being safe while still being "realistic". And the body was an AMAZING touch!
And the textures are GREAT. Love it, mwah. No complaints!
Overall, it did what it was supposed to, VERY WELL, may I add, but it made me feel like I wasn't playing SRB2 anymore.

Very cool story but got stuck in the forest for a while and love the Albuquerque secret in TDF Hangout and the Christmas is very charming Albuquerque out of 10

Wonderfully creepy and unique! The levels have an impressive attention to detail, and the puzzles are the right amount of challenging. Emeralds were a bit annoying to find, but they are optional.

Amazing mod but I'm start to wonder if it will work on single player $_$

SRB2 lacks any real horror mods. So naturally there is an untapped market in making one. Tails Doll Forest (I will call it TDF from here on), does a good job as a horror mod. However, a few things are lacking in my opinion.

While the 2.1/Early SRB2 map design works well by making things cramped and tense, there is a limit to everything. The first real act took me 13 minutes, and I wasn't even going for the emeralds. I just happened to find it by looking through a path between two trees. Something I wouldn't have spotted any other time. Besides that, the maps feel a bit generic once you are out of the TD Forest. Since it's just interior, houses, and blood.

The main threat, the Tails Dolls both work well and not so well. Duplicates make it so there's never one chasing you due to the way they're scripted. But that's also their weakness if three are chasing you and you get hit you don't take three damage and knowing you got enough rings you aren't scared to die. (Not to mention extra lives can be farmed at the start, and I think there should be less since going in with 30 extra lives defeats the purpose of losing.

I enjoyed TDF but so many small things hold it back. 7.5/10

Hello! Thanks for your feedback! I did some testing of Act 1 and yes, there are too many extra life monitors. You can get 9 extra lives before going to act 2. I went through and removed most monitors.

hi, I'm one of the beta testers just here to say this mod is so amazing from the story to hangout to bonus levels to freaking easter eggs! FIVE STARS FOR THAT

This pack really does a phenomenal job really nailing the scary/creepy/unnerving/eerie/unsettling vibe and the hangout maps are really fun to explore and, well, hang out in. My only gripes are you can't escape the star-shaped hole (tho ik that will be addressed in v6.1) as well as the main hangout's secret 4th 2d area enemy utterly bypassing any invulnerability you have active and the map acting like you noclipped even if you used perfectly legit means to try and get over the fence (such as flying over it with Burning Blaze)

Hello, thank you for the review! Yes, the star-shaped hole will be addressed in v6.1. What 4th 2d area enemy are you talking about? Also, which fence are you referring to? I’m thinking of the one that leads to the portal. If so, that was a mistake on my part. I forgot to add a barrier to prevent people from just hopping over the fence.

Originally, I had played this and disliked it for being confusing, but ever since I finished the main playthrough with Takis I actually kind of like what it's going for. The quieter parts, as said by Rufel34, are generally really unnerving compared to the rest, though you can get spooked by the Tails Doll hall later in the game. I still don't like that you can't get out of the star-shaped hole, but other than that, I'm interested.

The star-shaped hole is something I tried to change a while back. You were able to escape, but for whatever reason, I removed the escape. I'll readd an escape option in V6.1. Thank you for your feedback!

its a neat little thing to kill time if you like sonic and horror games but i do have some gripes (its not about the lighting) 1. The game is even close to survival horror its just annoying to get pushed around the stage like a pinball. 2. its like those "horror" games that make it so there is no way to defend yourself like the re ( resident evil)games because that's the point of survival horror and not brute forcing you way through hoping you have enough rings to get an hole. anyway i hope it gets fixed and its always in a blue moon you get to see a map pack like this. its a nice idea and i would like to see how this would change

When I downloaded this silly little horror map for a Sonic fan game, I was expecting a cheesy jumpscare-fest .exe game. I was NOT, however, expecting the quieter parts to have me so genuinely unnerved, that I was checking my corners before I went around them. My only gripes are that the dolls are a little annoying once the spook factor wears off, because there's just so DAMN MANY OF THEM. I also would like if the checkpoints had 10 rings around them in act 2, because the post-game emerald hunt is a little hard when you get one-shot by everything as punishment for misstepping and falling into the acid. I also was not expecting a Metal race at the end, nor was I expecting the end to be so abrupt.

Duly noted! I will add respawn ring monitors so people can get the appropriate amount of rings they desire.

The Addon seems to be pretty awesome but the sad thing is that i can't get thru Act 2.

If I'm being honest I LOVE how how it got a huge improvement. You can actually move freely instead of hitting walls every second. Also the fact it's not really dark anymore and while I did love when it was dark I did want to know where I was going. It added more things other than it being a lot bigger, I love this addon!!

Kinda fun and different, although pretty short. All in all 3/5 good.
