Read original review"Reveil is a walking simulator, but it is a remarkable one. Yes, the puzzles are simple, but they are balanced by the game world full of things to explore and find. There is no monotonous pace, and the stealth and …"

"Reveil is a game that makes one feel a continuous sense of dispersion and illusion. It makes mood its strong point, with an artistic direction that excels and allows the player to immerse himself in the adventure to the fullest. …"
Read original review"REVEIL is fine as a mildly spooky walking sim, but it commits so many sins of horror games that it ends up boring at best and frustrating at worst."

"Although true horror or explicit gore is nowhere to be found, Reveil’s gameplay is filled with tension, mystery, and some genuine surprises. Its many puzzles are fairly well integrated into the narrative and rarely too frustrating or illogical. Part walking …"

"REVEIL features a rich, evocative and vintage art direction, with detailed and well-done sets. Unfortunately, everything else is tied up in an average package that struggles to stand out from the myriad of games in the same subgenre."

"Overall, it was fun to playthrough Reveil. The playthrough we did took about three hours to get through but after seeing what you need to do can probably be done in about two hours. For $19.99, the game is worth …"

"Reveil is entirely derivative of other works in the genre with nothing new to add, and if you think that might be enough for you, it&s;s unfortunately not a very good version of all that either."

"Reveil convinces with a psychological horror thriller worthy of the name. Pixelsplit plays its trump cards very well to create a comfort zone that gradually destroys until the player is left naked and exposed to its starkest side."
Read original review"For much of Reveil we were worried that it was just going to be another bog-standard first-person psychological horror game, but it’s safe to say that its late-game twist saved it. And so while it’s not all that scary, and …"
