     Hello,people of the universe. Today I shall review my first indie game ever, White Noise Online!!!!!!!!!!


        White Noise Online is an xbox 360 indie game, and it can be found on the marketplace for a dollar. The point of the game is to explore four maps and try to find eight tapes on each while being stalked by an "ancient evil."

                                                                                                                      

Sounds like Slenderman, right? Well, it basically is. There are some interesting twists to it, though. And the main twist would be multiplayer. Yes, you can play with up to three other people as you search for the tapes. But I found it constantly irritating when I was ditched by the other players due to lack of communication. The thing is, if you are alone in an online match, the monster will only hunt you until you either reunite with the other player(s) or you die. Once you die, you become a ghost that can do nothing but try and guide the living players to victory. (It's harder than you think)

    Another thing that makes this game stand out a little is the character selection. There are around ten characters to choose from, and each character has his/her own background and abilities. For example, one character can sprint for a really long time, but not have a high sanity meter, while another could be the exact opposite.
                                

    Overall, this game manages to deliver the scare of a slender game. Not nightmare inducing, but not for the faint of heart. I would definantly reccomend playing with the lights off and the volume up. Otherwise, it just gets boring after a few plays. But for one stinking buck, it ain't too bad.
