The Well Is Not Empty wastes no time showing us the monster - one of the monsters, at least - and doesn't seem especially the worse for it. I mean, it's the worse, but in a good way.</p> <p>Look, you can see the monster right there, hunkered up like a frightened puppy in the corner of the room. A scrawny little fellow with broken xylophone teeth and eyes that genuinely <em>do</em> make me think of the view from the bottom of a well. The monster is no threat, as long as you stay out of grabbing distance - and as long as the lights are on. The problem, as you've already guessed, is that the lights are unreliable.

Best make sure you're back behind the sturdy radiance of those construction lamps before the ticking stops.</p> <p><a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/new-horror-game-the-well-is-not-empty-combines-photophobic-monsters-with-timer-light-switches-and-a-lot-of-frenzied-digging">Read more</a></p>
