Almost My Floor

Gameplay-wise there's not a whole lot to this -- simple inventory puzzles coupled with some easy QTE's and minigames. And it's quite short, 2 hours something in my playthrough. But what really stands out and makes this game shine to me is how terrific the presentation is, especially coming from what appears to be only a two person team, one of whom, Anna Lepeshkina, designed the game and did all the writing and art, and the other did the programming. Anna is very good at her job. This game looks great, way above the standard of the typical indie adventure game. The inter-chapter comic book style scenes are particularly well done, but the whole game has a great look to it. The sound is also excellent, both music and sound effects. And the story is well written and intriguing, although the ending sections get to be a bit much with how much story exposition they dump on you in scripted converations and cutscenes with no gameplay. Definitely recommend this and looking forward to seeing what Potata Company does in the future, starting with the sequel to this game.

Developed and published by Potata Company, it uses the familiar structure of a point-and-click adventure while surrounding its puzzles and investigation with grotesque imagery, dark humor, paranoia, and supernatural uncertainty. Its greatest achievement is making a seemingly mundane apartment building feel increasingly hostile.

Monsters and disturbing residents stand between him and safety, while the boundary separating reality from hallucination becomes progressively less reliable. His predicament gives the story its strongest psychological dimension because survival is accompanied by the equally impo…

A fun little point-and-click adventure; good Lovecraftian art style and a pretty decent plot - unfortunately the puzzles were so incredibly easy it left me with a feeling like I had literally just 'clicked next' my through the entire plot without actually "playing" a game. Hopefully if there's a sequel the devs can ramp-up the complexity and interactivity of the puzzles to make them a more integral part of the game play.
