Creator's Chasm

Creator's Chasm is an allegory all about the creative process, targeting independent creators and those with a vision who struggle to achieve due to personal discouragement or mental roadblocks. The game tells a story of you, the player, pressing through the hardship of the creative process by utilizing several styles of gameplay including platforming, puzzle, and FPS genres. Overall, Creator's Chasm does a great job of reminding you of several things: how difficult the creative process can be, all the different roadblocks that come with being a creator, and that you can overcome these difficulties. A lot of the stress of the process can be attributed to the hardship we put ourselves through, whether it be personal expectations or self doubt. These issues come to play in the game as monsters which the player must overcome, escape, or outright destroy. The gameplay is reasonable. Nothing is too difficult with a little perseverance, and when things seem unfair, it is worth it to take a step back and consider what Creator's Chasm is trying to teach you. Keep trying. There are definitely times where you will feel lost or that the game is against you, but it's never enough to quit ove…

This game is very insightful. It really digs deep into what different art creators go through in their minds. It's all rainbows and lolipops in the beginning but once you start struggling it's hard to get out of a negative mindset. You guys represented it VERY well and I'll be playing more on my stream!

Not really for me, but I can see what the devs were going for, and as such I can still recommend it. Personally, I hate platforming in first person. Also this game doesn't allow you to invert the Y axis of the mouse. I'll probably watch someone play through this so that I can see wtf was going on.

"Creator's Chasm" is another garbage tier Unreal kitbashed dumped on Steam, but at least plotwise the developer tried to do something slightly different. Instead of shooting waves of asset flipped zombies, you've got slightly different themed chapters, one platformer and the rest shooters. The developer cleverly attempts to solve all mental health issues for artists through the medium of a video game, but showing other artists how incompetent artists can be is probably not really helping. I'd rather play one of the zombie asset flips. Trying to address serious issues such as mental and emotional health through the medium of video games is misguided and can be harmful. While it's plausible to suggest the intention was noble, this can do more harm than good. The "developer" here is not a professional in areas of mental health and social problems, and when they use video games to pretend they are, this is not only utterly ineffective, it can be harmful. It's my opinion that it's improper to use video games to address mental health issues. Apart from the harm such hamfisted attempts at addressing social problems can cause, this offers zero benefit to PC gamers. People sufferin…
