MANIKA

This game is crazy, make sure the lights are off and you have your headphones on while playing. You will feel the game, it's worth a try thanks.

Manika is a commendable first project from a young, two-person team. The game’s atmosphere does a good job of keeping players on edge, and the unique blend of cultural influences adds an intriguing layer to the experience. However, the pacing can feel uneven, as the game stretches longer than necessary given its content. The horror elements are present but could benefit from more impactful scares to elevate the tension consistently. While the map design offers some initial intrigue, it quickly becomes repetitive, affecting the overall immersion. Despite these shortcomings, Manika is a solid effort that showcases the talent and dedication of its creators, leaving room for growth in future projects
