MADE IN ARGENTINA
We are Carpincho Studio, a bunch of young amateur devs from Argentina (Mostly from Rosario). We love games and both playing and developing them is our passion, reason why we decided, as a group, to finally make public our first ever game, "La Salamanca".We also love Capybaras. Best animal ever.

After enjoying the demo, I had high hopes for the full game. Alas, the game is riddle with bugs and bad translations. I was soft-locked more than once. A puzzle in the morgue made absolutely no sense even after discovering the solution and then we're faced with having to navigate a mansion in the dark with a flashlight that depletes its battery at an insane speed.

I expect a few issues here and there with these kinds of indie horror originals, but there are many problems here which are beyond acceptable. Some examples include: -A key despawning before it was used for all of its intended purposes - with the solution being to "restart the chapter". This softlocked an entire section and wasted close to an hour for me. -Interactions not triggering, notably in the sewer area where I was unable to interact with the pressure gauges. If I hadn't found an online walkthrough, I would have unknowingly been hard stuck here, because it's a required interaction that bugged out. Frustratingly enough, I did everything that was shown in the video did down to the T, and still had this issue. This happened numerous times elsewhere as well, with this be…6 found this helpful
