A Void Hope

Beautiful game with a beautiful ending. This is the first game I've ever gotten 100% completion on the first play-through, felt good. Very excited to see future collaborations from this team.

This is a highly enjoyable pixel-art style puzzle platformer with metroidvania elements (in the form of map areas that can only be opened after additional equipment has been found in other maps), let down by appallingly clumsy aiming against most enemies (with mouse and keyboard), and a plot that..................wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll............is just simply not really explained. People are flickering and turning into strange zombies/electronic wolves/electronic bats, because..........reasons?!?!? It's really not explained in any appreciable detail at all. So...................fun game to play, just don't try to understand it, which is a shame because the game is fun enough to deserve a coherent, well-thought out story-line. Recommended, but turn your brain off.

I had no heard of this Elden Pixel game before, but I love their games, so I gave it a go. A game where people are losing their memories and becoming monsters. The heroes travel through the city, one trying to remember and one trying to find a cure. Like most Elden Pixel games, it's a bit of a vania and you never know who is going to turn into a monster and sometimes you don't even know which monster they'll be. The more dog like are quick, but you can jump over them, others fly and are the hardest to deal with. Not the best from Elden Pixels, but still worth a go.

A Void Hope is an OK puzzle platformer, which did keep me entertained enough to finish it, but this game does not really offer anything special. The visuals and the soundtrack are great and the platforming is decent, but the story is pretty shallow and disappointing. Also, I could have done without the enemy encounters -- they're not hard or frustrating, but I felt that they were more of a nuisance. I bought this game during a sale for less than 5€ and for that price it was worth it, so this is a barely thumbs up in my book.

Recommended. A brief 2D puzzle platformer about a memory plague where friendly NPCs and hostile ones look identical until they move, and the soundtrack carries a neon melancholy that never slips. Every district's tool (crowbar, keycard, rope, fuel siphon, shotgun) unlocks progress somewhere already visited, shortcuts keep returns painless, and hidden memory vignettes build the couple's story toward a finale that inverts the rescue. The grey-versus-blue art direction quietly reinforces the plague's theme, the fixed per-district checklists reward thoroughness without backtracking pain, and the first-person research-facility detour adds a workable change of pace. Aiming locks the player in place, the invincible shadow beast menaces the opening and is never explained, and the completion counter stops at 82% even with everything found. Short, moody and well worth the single sitting.

Es un pequeño juego de exploración, que no tiene ni buenos puzzles, ni buenas plataformas, ni buena trama, pero aún así me ha gustado. La música está bien, al igual que la atmósfera. No es un juego de terror para nada. El precio que tiene es disparatado para lo que ofrece. Si te lo pillas en un bundle, como en mi caso, es mucho más aceptable.
