✦ AI summary

Downfall is a psychological horror masterpiece that delivers a grim, atmospheric experience with excellent storytelling and unsettling imagery in the tradition of Silent Hill 2. Players praise the tight puzzle design, haunting music, and complex narrative that rewards engagement, though some find it demanding to navigate and appreciate compared to developer R Michalski's other work like The Cat Lady. The game works as a standalone but offers enhanced experience for those familiar with The Cat Lady, and players generally consider it worth experiencing for fans of cerebral horror.

I think I love everything R Michalski makes. This is just as good as The Cat Lady, who even appears in the game. Playing The Cat Lady first will probably improve the experience, but this definitely works as a standalone as well. Anyway, this is a psychological horror masterpiece. The atmosphere is perfect, the story is excellent, and everything is horrifying in the best way possible.

A really atmospheric and gruesome game. The story seems heavily inspired by Silent Hill 2 but I think it uses these ideas really well. It explores the depths of human emotions and the relationship between Joe and his wife, which I found really interesting. I also really loved the aesthetic of the game. Harvester Games has a really good eye for making 2D horror look disturbing while still being visually beautiful. The combination of the artstyle, atmosphere and disturbing imagery works really well and gives the game this really unique vibe that I really love.

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.
