Lost Estate Agent

You can pet and feed the cat. 5 star game right there.

L.E.A. is a mixture of horror, tripy dream and 2000's graphics. It seems amazingly weird and strange and I loved it. Unfortunately, my character kept dying and I couldn't understand why but that doesn't retract from how good it looks and how strange. It runs perfectly well on Steam Deck as long as you choose a keyboard and mouse layout as you can see by pressing the link below; https://youtu.be/fWanPINFxeI

I refunded this because of a technical issue. There is a constant input of forward and left which makes the game unplayable. I verified the issue was not on my end with input monitor. Dissapointed because the game seems interesting.

This game offers an interesting mix of collection and survival horror. You spend most of your time exploring the maze-like mansion, gathering items for various quests. Items are gently highlighted, making it less about pixel hunting and more about learning the layout of the environment. However, the game's sudden shift from atmospheric exploration to near instadeath moments (thanks to monsters around blind corners) can be a bit jarring. While you can learn from your mistakes and the game autosaves frequently, I personally didn’t enjoy how easy it was to die without warning. I would have preferred a greater emphasis on the exploration and puzzle-solving elements, as opposed to the frequent jumpscares. For fans of jumpscares and atmospheric exploration, this game could be a solid 8/10. For me, though, it was more of a 6/10, as I found the difficulty and sudden deaths frustrating. It’s mostly playable with a gamepad, though you’ll need a mouse for certain elements like dialogue and inventory management.

Like all of their games, there is a lot of WTF? moments, hilariously bad scares and a random plot that goes nowhere. Classic AK Studio.

Very good atmosphere and a nice balance of eerie and weird. I appreciate the level of detail. I haven’t beat the game yet but it keeps making me want more. Overall worth it.
