Lost Surreal Hell

While this game has a very interesting premise, and there are aspects I do like, I feel like in practice it's missing some polish. It certainly is "surreal", but at the same time it feels disorganized and confusing in a negative way because there is no central goal, like to escape or find out why your here, etc. Even in a surreal exploration game like Yume Nikki, it gives you a bit a normality to understand what's going on and then you can have fun exploring the weird dream world and collecting all the hats. However despite being quite surreal, this game can be a bit boring and repetitive too, like I got sent back to the fence area 3 times and had to fight the blue tie guy 3 times. I would either want some story and explanation as to why I'm warping back here again and again, or keep the game surreal and exciting by giving me something new, that is basically what I mean by polish. There is some dialogue and narration, but it also is vague and basically just adds to the surrealism. Some of the game mechanics are explained but not very well. I feel like the controls could be improved, I played using a keyboard. Maybe I'm just missing the point of this game, but for me I was hoping t…

Crappy game, no goal and the combat is most illogical thing I've ever experienced. I guess it's not much money to try it out but still a waste.

I'm still so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ confused...

I had to reset my laptop(for unrelated reasons) and i decided to give this game a go again as something had occurred(i don't remember what) and the only thing i saw was a black screen when i launched it(even after I uninstalled and installed it again).Now I went through a "run" and my fascination with this game is at a peak.Nice game,niche game.

I really enjoyed the weirdness of this game for the first few hours. I am not the kind of person who needs something to be coherent to be "good" or anything, and I felt like I was able to figure out a lot of stuff on my own. However, I don't feel like this game is beatable, and I've become softlocked in a place that I can't get out of or proceed. [spoiler] I cannot get past a hallway where I have to defeat 3 enemies and I also can't backtrack to do anything. Every time I die to these 3 enemies, I have to mash the keyboard and try again. It's not fun. [/spoiler] There's a lot I can't naturally figure out, like how to use items or wear clothes or if clothes do anything. Anyway I really hate to not recommend a game because especially for a solo dev, I love to suggest people buy games to try them out. But I think in its current state, this game is not really playable and wouldn't suggest it unless the developer could somehow make it so players could skip these battles in some way so they can make progress. I'm more than willing to change this review and try again to progress in the game if these changes are made.
