Necrophosis

Where as Scorn hardly had any story and the combat felt like a hamfisted element.Necrophosis does not have much of actual gameplay at all besides puzzles and goes way too much into just loredumping the player. That latter part probably sullied my experience the most, What the game is about is given away way too early and not much is left to interpretation. It's more fairly priced and wasn't hyped up to be be this big thing years in development like Scorn, but If I had to recommend one it would still probably be Scorn over this.

A lovely and disturbing game, a puzzle walking simulator, I deeply enjoyed it.

Really wanted to like this after enjoying Scorn so much. Unfortunately the game has really awful UI that makes it hard to interact with. The text is almost unreadable at a couch distance due to the serif font and no text scaling options, multiple menus are broken or have unusable interactions when using a controller, most often the cursor highlight just disappearing. Pick-up interactions kinda suck cus the only indication that there is some kind of additional interaction is a tiny text change in the UI at the bottom of the screen and rotating the object always requires a trigger input. But what was the final nail in the coffin in me asking for a return was just how poorly conveyed the in-world interactions were. Spent about 40 min of my 70m playtime wandering around the second area just desperately trying to find whatever hidden interaction was blocking my progression. I still want to see this world and experience the story, but I feel like my time would be better spent watching an edited let's play instead of trying to figure out what invisible button I need to press to dispense the next dialogue. The art, sound design and atmosphere are pretty solid, animation is okay, lighti…

When Necrophosis was released, it was something new and fresh. The walking simulator with graphics based on art of Beksinski--nobody has have done it before. It was good despite the obvious signs that the developers were running out of ides as the game progressed: last two levels were bland and full of repeating puzzles. The Subconsciousness, on the other hand, is just almost a carbon copy of the first release. Same puzzles, same unintelligible speeches which you can't skip. "Almost" a carbon copy, because there are differences, but not for the better: additions of teeth and fangs which add grotesque character to the graphics and are so different from original Beksinski's artwork; also, increased complexity of the puzzles leading to countless scans of overloaded inventory. Is it worth $5? Five dollars is not much, nowadays you can't even buy a lunch for it, and this amount probably more less equals to the value of the addition to the game. Is it worth it at all? Frankly, after playing it through, I think it is not. I don't know what the future plans of game developers are, but I believe that there should be no further additions to Necrophosis. I would like to see a new game…

What a beautifully made game. Look into any direction of each level and your left in awe. Very creepy, eerie and atmoshperic. Lore was cool, but some parts felt a bit repetitive.

Honestly meh. Visually nice but there's a major bug where if you give the guy the mask early, he asks for it after and you can't give it to him and the game soft locks. According to Google "giving the mask to the crawling entity before triggering its dialogue sequence will cause the mask to fall or clip directly through it, leaving it trapped and making the puzzle unsolvable"
