About ASTRAL
The future came. You'd think that means the apex of the progress and science, but no. After the epidemic spread all over the world in 2022, 95% of the whole population mutated into horrible creatures without any moral values or humanity and started hunting everything that moves. The planet became empty.
For Limbo and Inside funs.
You're a young boy who woke up in the depths of a military laboratory. You were a test subject for a vaccine and managed to survive. And now you have the immunity to the epidemic, which must be shared with everyone left alive on Earth. You've found a device that allows you to contol the conscience of these monsters, and you need to get to the bunker with the survivors inside to save the mankind from inevitable death. This is the future right around the corner.
In this game you need to solve puzzles and also control monsters to solve them. Avoid dangerous places and examine all documents you'll find on your way.
2D graphics, atmospheric music, interesting puzzles and tasks, post-apocalyptic world and hordes of monsters await you in ASTRAL.

What was that? Just a game to get a bunch of achievements? Really bad game.1 found this helpful
Didn't get to finish this one as the metro level has a very poorly designed puzzle that doesn't seem to allow you to get past it, if anyone has figured it out though let me know 4-10
The game is great and similar to LIMBO. Cons: -The controller layout cannot be changed, and the controls are limited. -The cameras cannot be moved in multiple directions. -The checkpoint is from far away.
If you enjoyed Limbo, Inside, or Black the Fall, ASTRAL is worth checking out. It delivers a moody, atmospheric platformer with a gripping story, simple but engaging puzzles, and an interesting monster possession mechanic. However, it falls short of its inspirations due to its lack of challenge, clunky AI, and minimal customization options (locked FPS, no key rebinds, and a frustrating checkpoint system). The game is also too short for its full price, but at a discount, it's a solid experience—especially for achievement hunters, as 100% completion takes a single playthrough. While not as polished as its predecessors, ASTRAL still offers an enjoyable journey through its bleak, post-apocalyptic world.

great!
[h2]Verdict[/h2] ✅ Recommended Not my type of game. It stopped being fun for me after [b]0.1 hours[/b] and I won’t play it again, but I still recommend it — I can see it clicking for other players. [h2]My history with the game[/h2] I gave it a quick try, it didn’t hook me at all, and I dropped it almost immediately. Still, I wouldn’t call it “bad” — just [b]not for me[/b]. [h2]Quick signals[/h2] 💸 Value: ☑ "That'll do, pig. That'll do." 🖥️ Requirements: ☑ Minimum 🎨 Graphics: ☑ Cheap ⏱️ Length: ☑ 5–15 hours 📖 Story: ☑ Good 🎮 Difficulty: ☑ Simple 🐛 Bugs: ☑ Perfect [h2]Who this is for[/h2] [b]+[/b] You’re okay with smaller/cheaper-looking games and you care more about the idea/gameplay than presentation. [b]+[/b] You enjoy trying niche titles that might surprise you. [h2]Who should skip[/h2] [b]-[/b] If you need strong visuals or a game that hooks fast, you might bounce as quickly as I did. [h2]Final note[/h2] I’m not the target audience, but if this genre/style is your thing, it’s worth a try — especially if you can grab it cheap.
