✦ AI summary

Kohate receives mixed reactions from players, with some praising its atmospheric visuals, sound design, and spooky ambiance alongside its smooth movement mechanics, while others find it hampered by significant design issues including the lack of any save feature, confusing maze-like level layouts, poor objective clarity, and annoying visual effects that detract from the experience.

Not recommended Dec 3, 2024
The lack of saving of any kind doesn't work for me. Nice visuals, sounds, spooky atmosphere and smooth movement aren't enough to save (pun intended) it. No save feature, plus the lack of puzzles (like in the superior "The Subject") ruins the whole experience for me. I really don't get some developers' fixation with "in-one-sitting" games. How about letting the PLAYER decide HOW they're going to play the game, in order to maximize individual experience. Sorry, I really wanted to like this but it has to be thumbs down for me.

Terrible game design that is out of touch in what is expected in a horror survival. It starts off promising with the open cutscene and basic tutorial. Then you get tossed out into the area where the monster lurks and the shortcomings soon become glaringly obvious, a lack of a proper map and objective leaves you wandering aimless, the vents are built like rat warrens and do radiation damage which bloats the screen with annoying colours that makes no sense in terms of what radiation actually does. All in all this just leaves bad impression to even attempt to finish the game. I will attempt another pass of this game in the future and update this if I can get past these shortcomings... I highly doubt it. Personal Rating 1/5 Stars (Slop).

Great game! Had a ton of fun with this one and the other games by this developer. Short and sweet jn the best way. Gave me a good challenge to figuring out a few of the puzzles. Definitely recommend.

Bought this cause of some youtube vid back in 2021, just now got around to playing it. Had a lot of fun with it. Got ending 3 on my first run and didn't die. Having that experience was a pretty cool one, there aren't a lot of games where it's truly possible to beat it your first time. I feel like I was able to learn a lot in the beginning and combined with good spatial memory it was pretty enjoyable the whole way through. Worth it!

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

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.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
