"Behind The Barrier" is just a low key asset flip.. the quality of the sometimes mismatched looking assets is suspiciously much higher than the actual game is, and that's a glaring mismatch. Who's going to create a bunch of high quality assets and then phone in the actual game? It doesn't add up... unless you consider how easy it is for anyone, even people unqualified to make games, to get any and all the game assets they want. The game is essentially a kitbash of assets made by other people, poorly assembled by an amateur developer. These projects are usually rushed through Steam Direct as fast as possible, and the lack of professional standards means the end result is something no gamer should waste their time on. This is slightly skewed off the path that most first person horror adventure games take as there's some action elements... you need to collect three crosses, to activate a demon trap, all while avoiding evil spirits and managing your limited use of safe houses.

This is definitely an early access game. While it is free, I would still say that it is not worth any time playing this game right now. Every house is copy pasted, every asset copy pasted, movement isn't even figured out. You bounce on uneven terrain cancelling your ability to jump, sprinting while moving diagonally is like twice as fast as just pressing 'W' + sprint, the audio slider doesn't even work, and even the heartbeat sound isn't connected to volume, so changing the system or .exe volume in the mixer doesn't help. As there is no definition to each individual house I would recommend using the steam store preview vid for the bird's eye view of the town as getting turned around is really easy. Let this one cook

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.
