Onirike

Onirike, developed and published by DevilishGames, is a surreal 3D platformer that blends dreamlike exploration with light stealth and survival mechanics, all wrapped in an aesthetic that feels equal parts eerie, whimsical, and otherworldly. It follows the strange and fragile figure of Prieto, a being who has no memory of his origin and lives in an endless loop within a distorted dream world. The game frames his journey as a search for truth—one that requires gathering key fragments scattered across an ever-shifting landscape of nightmares and fantasies. From the outset, Onirike embraces the logic of dreams, presenting environments and characters that defy structure, expectation, or explanation. It aims to pull you into a place where curiosity is always tinged with unease. The world itself, known as the Orb, is a standout element. It is built from bizarre architecture, crooked pathways, carnival-like nightmares, and characters who seem stitched together from subconscious fears. DevilishGames leans heavily into a handcrafted, almost stop-motion-inspired art direction: models have a claylike texture, lighting is stark and theatrical, and animations carry a slightly uncanny stiffness…

Great game, relaxing soundtrack and quality puzzles

I always like a game about being a clown and collecting spores.

A cosy platform game that never gets too hard, with a simple story and some interesting gameplay mechanics. Pretty short, linear and enjoyable. The movement system may be a bit clunky sometimes, but in the end it feels good enough to not be frustrating. Recommended but its actual full price of 15 euros feels like too much, bought the key instead.
