TAMASHII

So deliciously edgy. Fun set-pieces, bizarre secrets, solid platform design, great for a late-night session.

A genuinely excellent puzzle platformer with very easy-to-grasp mechanics, a distinct visual style and memorable soundscape (provided you don't mind the sound of dentist drills). I know some people have called the writing unsubtle and on-the-nose, but honestly I have no problem with a game that just goes straight for the jugular with its message. Even if I found the story a bit difficult to follow, I definitely still got the gist and it tied into the actual gameplay quite well. My minor issues are mainly that a) the difficulty of the bosses feel a bit all over the place (the first one felt like the most intense of the lot and the second one felt like the easiest) and b) the hard puzzle option to get the Water Stone felt pretty unintuitive compared to the rest of the game, and the Achievement percentages back me up on that. Still, I had a great time with this overall: would highly recommend it! It is definitely worth the price of admission, and I can't wait to see the rest of Vikintor's oeuvre!

TAMASHII is an experimental horror puzzle-platformer that makes a lasting impression through disturbing imagery, cryptic storytelling, and an atmosphere that constantly feels hostile and unnatural. Developed and published by Vikintor, the game takes noticeable inspiration from obscure Japanese titles from the late 1980s and 1990s, but it does much more than simply imitate retro aesthetics. Its pixel-art environments become a canvas for grotesque creatures, religious symbolism, distorted bodies, psychedelic effects, and surreal events. Instead of building horror around conventional jump scares, it creates discomfort by making the player uncertain about what might appear next and whether anything on the screen can truly be trusted. The premise begins with an unnamed soul being summoned by an ancient entity whose mysterious temple has been invaded by a malicious presence. The player's objective is to enter this strange place, investigate the corruption, and confront whatever is responsible. A mysterious Witch and other unusual figures gradually complicate the situation, although the narrative deliberately avoids providing straightforward explanations. Much of the story must be interp…

I originally played this game on the switch. I only recently bought it on steam so I can relive it. I love this game so much. I make all my friends play it. It's so beautiful and thought-provoking. Thank you for this gem!!!!
