[h1][b]Laira Cut Me Open[/b][/h1] [b]Rating: 7/10 – Good[/b] [b]Laira Cut Me Open[/b] is a short visual novel of sorts with some very simple puzzles. Gameplay itself, while limited works well to serve the real meat of the game: it’s story. And the story is pretty [b]Good[/b], having me hooked from beginning to end, making me constantly guess what was going on or what would happen next the whole way through. I quite enjoyed its twists and unexpected turns. On top of that is a very charming art style that, in its simplicity, does to an extend serve the story quite well. And while some animations did look a little off at times [b]Laira Cut Me Open[/b] is very nice to look at. What does hold it back a little is the sound design which, in my opinion, is a little too minimalistic and a bit more could have probably enhanced the game quite a bit. Not to say that it ruins the game, overall the sound design is [b]Fine[/b]. In regard to the gameplay, as mentioned, it is short and sweet with somewhat minimalistic gameplay and relatively easy puzzles.

Super morbid. Super psychotic. Super WTF!?1 found this helpful
This is a very cool game! It's not really my type of game as I can often have a hard time paying attention to and understanding stories in games, but I enjoyed the story nonetheless and how it took advantage of the medium. The visuals and soundtrack were pretty nice, and while the gameplay wasn't anything spectacular it doesn't really matter as it clearly isn't the focus and it gets the job done. There were some issues with clicking on things not working as I think it should, both with dialogue and interactables, and while the chapter selection is nice there is no real indication in-game what chapter you are currently on. Overall, recommended!1 found this helpful
A great free scary game!
I Added this to my whishlist as the game got "Best Storytelling" award at GGC 2026, i did not realy know what to expect. i finaly had time to play it and there was Real tears at the end. (and that is rare for me) Good job!
2D games, can be equally entertaining, as 3D triple A. Great job, Devs. Gave me AnotherWorld, and OldBoy vibes.
