OVERWHELM

OVERWHELM is an action horror platformer whose horror comes from the extreme hostility the game presents. Almost everything about the game hates you and is designed to stress you out. Unlike most games you are not rewarded for success in OVERWHELM. Each boss you kill empowers everything else in the game, forget fanfare and a powerup. Progress in this game is dread inducing. You're closer to the top, but the mountain gets steeper. Even with the simplicity of the enemies and bosses by the end the game can be rather hectic. Triage is necessary, the order you fight the bosses shapes the run, an easy early boss might introduce some painful enemies to the rest of the excursion. Don’t worry though, failure is punished too. Dying reduces your field of vision and dulls the sound. By your third death your eyes dart back and forth trying to make out shapes at the corners of your view before you get sent back to square one. It’s not all bad though, defeating the boss allows for healing so if you can tough it out and finish the job you get to keep going. You’re not out for the count until you’re dead. Even the style of the game is intense. A black background with red and white environments …

can't play this game. it keeps crashing 30 seconds in every time, no idea why. I meet the specs. tried reaching the dev support email, I've never received a response. devs, fix your game or give me my money back

Very good in its simplicity.

Fun, short, challenging. It felt good getting better and faster attempting each run XD

Ok so imagine a megaman game if it was A) very nearly a horror game B) custom built to challenge you while under the most intense anxeity a game can instill in you. I love it so much
