High Strangeness

Trying to explore mysteries feels like an old film - a bit lost and strange. My attempts to understand it are like searching for missing keys in a dark room with a blindfold!

I first heard about High Strangeness from a Slope’s Game Room video. Its history and distinct art style immediately caught my attention, so I added it to my wishlist. I ended up receiving it as a Christmas gift and started playing right away, finishing it the same day. I’d heard it compared to Zelda, which feels accurate in the 8-bit dimension. The 16-bit sections, however, reminded me more of a more polished Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku. The story is a bit cliché, but it’s fun, charming, and doesn’t overstay its welcome. It’s also very approachable if you’re someone who likes to get a 100% completion. Overall, High Strangeness is a truly wonderful hidden gem on the Steam store.

Interesting concept for a game, switching between styles (8bit & 16bit). Great pixel art, cool story and funny dialogue. 7/10 old but nice, i was a bit stuck at the end but gt it in the end

I like the game concept on paper, but I got stuck early in the game with bugs that as far as I can tell broke the game and trapped me. Maybe I'll come back to it again, but after that it's hard to recommend.

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…
