Exitium

[i] As far as the story and visuals go, I enjoyed this experimental game, but the platforming was a bit clunky. For the most part, it's a puzzle-platformer with a psychological twist. The narrative is told from the perspective of a girl that is having relationship problems with her boyfriend. After each platforming section, you get to play a stealth mini-game where you are trying to isolate your boyfriend from the crowd by creating distractions. I suspect that game has 2 endings depending on your actions, I am pretty sure I got the bad one. Even though I kinda knew where the story was going, it still got me, and I am considering replaying it just to see if I can get a better outcome. It takes around 2-3 hours to finish if you don't skip any puzzles, although you do have that option if you keep getting stuck. Aside from that, the game has nice achievement support, assuming that you want to replay the game with no hits and so on. Overall, the game is very creative, but that creativity occasionally comes at the cost of intuitive gameplay.

[i] My Experience [/i] I really tried to like Exitium. I was drawn to the premise of the game, as well as its psychedelic colors. It's a puzzle-platformer that rotates between two level types for the duration of the game. The first of these is a straightforward black-and-white horror level, in which you are trying to navigate from left to right. There are enemies in these sections, which can be pushed using a blast move (hopefully so that they will fall off of a platform and perish) or evaded using a cloak move. The second level type is a "flashback" of sorts in which the player plays as a ghost. It seems that you can complete these levels either by finding and placing a nostalgic item in front of your ex-boyfriend so that he finds it, or by scaring him while he is out of view of other characters in the flashback. I attempted to complete all of these levels by having him find the nostalgic item. Although my character was dead, the game had given me no reason to be bitter. Although there are no "enemies" in these levels, your character will die if she is seen carrying an item, so you'll need to create distractions and use vertical platforms to stay out of sight while moving thi…

Challenging game, should be good for speedrunning. Has puzzles and stealth and beep bop music

Recommended. Not bad, especially for only a two person game. The art style and atmosphere are quite good. I also liked how the game is divided into two different types of levels since it keeps things fresh. There are definitely areas that I would like to see improved, like the audio quality of the voice acting, more responsive controls and the last puzzle/boss had a glitchy checkpoint for me. Also, the asking price may be a bit high for some considering it only took me three hours to finish. In the end though, I think puzzle platformer fans will enjoy, especially if interested in paranormal stories.
