    This game is extremely weird. Has that Silent Hill 3 rotten flesh artstyle and a nice soundtrack (the developer borrowed the casket/press start button sounds from Castlevania Symphony of the Night, too) and the gameplay, a fast-paced puzzle, ain't that hard, to begin with. Some stages can be annoying, though. Speaking of stages, all of them have cool names. There are 9, plus a secret one that only serves to promote another game from the same developer. It's free and very short, but very fun. Grab it.

    This doesn't seem as interesting as the other games from the same dev, in both the artistic aspect and the gameplay. It's particularly frustrating that there's a time limit for the whole levels instead of each screen individually, which I find way too punitive. It's weird to have to speedrun a puzzle game on the first try. In fact I gave up at the very first level that made me do the exact same boring things five times, with each small error pretty much ruining the run since there's no way to restart and you need to wait for your character to die. Not particularly motivating.

    Игра "Estigma [Steam Edition]" - это захватывающая визуальная новелла с элементами детектива и психологического триллера. Сюжет затягивает с первых минут, погружая в мрачную атмосферу и заставляя гадать о происходящем. Персонажи проработаны и вызывают сопереживание, а их взаимоотношения сложны и полны тайн. Графическое исполнение выполнено в приятном стиле, прекрасно передающем гнетущую атмосферу, а музыкальное сопровождение усиливает напряжение. Геймплей прост, но эффективен: игроку предстоит читать текст, выбирать варианты ответов и влиять на развитие сюжета. Каждый выбор имеет последствия, что делает прохождение нелинейным и реиграбельным. Игра исследует темы травмы, вины и искупления, заставляя задуматься о моральных дилеммах. Несмотря на то, что игра выполнена в жанре визуальной новеллы, она способна удерживать внимание с первой и до последней минуты. "Estigma" - это не просто игра, это интерактивная история, которая останется в памяти после прохождения. Рекомендую всем любителям жанра и тем, кто ищет глубокую и атмосферную игру.
