turning him into Snow, shining,

extraordinary game. defies easy categorization. bewildering, terrifying, beautiful

Psychedelic, bleak and willfully obscure. The sound design is actually terrifying. Very odd and very cool but not really a game. Or like...not a "game" game, you know? I'd say I suffered the gameplay to try and solve the puzzle. I'll probably pick it up for another 30 minutes down the line and that'll be it. Cool and unique, plenty of mystery, not much fun at its core. Buy on sale or at full price if you love atmospheric nightmares for their own sake.

Honestly, this is a very unique and refreshing take on roguelikes. It can be frustrating to figure it out at first, but once you start getting it, the reward is satisfying. I love the graphics and atmosphere add so much to it as well.

A playable nightmare, but in a great way!
Not recommended Aug 16, 2025
It's not worth the price. I recommend getting it on sale if you're looking for a highscore based horror experience.
Not recommended Mar 5, 2025
Obviously there are people out there that may enjoy this but I didn't enjoy anything about it. It takes too long to find crystals and isn't fun in the mean time.
