About Nohra

Nohra is a beautiful and fast paced precision platformer where you take control of Lupu, a newly awakened monster, and attempt to escape from an abandoned lab.
Created by students of the DigiPen Institute of Technology, this game is built with reaction and mechanical mastery in mind where players are expected to recognize patterns in the scenes and combine movements to advance. Set in a once proud laboratory now broken and neglected, you play as a monster who has broken its containment. Freed of your confinement for the first time in years, you scour the lab in search of an exit, and maybe something more. Something other than freedom that calls to you.
On your mission to find a way out, you will encounter many dangers. All signs of the previous inhabitants are gone, but the defenses protecting them are as vigilant as ever. However, with your ability to chain dashes together and slow down time, the defenses set up in your way stand no chance. Through sheer force of will and strength beyond normal creatures, you will prove you are what you were designed by your makers long gone to be, an apex predator.

- Chain your dashes to wind through deadly traps.
- Slow down time and enjoy the view of your beautiful prison.
- Time yourself, challenge your friends, beat the developers!

I'm not sure if there were any button prompts past A and D, which allowed me to intuit and discover the interplay with jumping and dashing. The cursor is a strong signifier that ramped into the levels necessitating more discerning movement; a number of times I had slipped onto my second monitor when dashing and failing as a result. The final levels had a substantial difficulty as well as a welcome degree of variance in the path. I took some time on the title screen to hear the music and wonder about whether Lupu is supposed to be leaning away from the sheer edge or floating mid-air. The game is small and fast befitting a Nerve game experience, but there's some withdrawal of thrill within the abundance of checkpoints. If the checkpoints are removed, the spaces allotted for them also go, and more sequences may emphasize the amount of mid-air control provided around the jump gates in order to craft a broader palette of difficulty for them. The long jump sequence before the laser chase was a high mark, but I wanted more evocation of anger with the level so as to achieve a cathartic thrill upon success. I was going to say I have Silksong at home, but I've still not touched a bit of it…1 found this helpful

Short (finished in under 20 minutes ) but very good game. The art is good and the movement is smooth even though I need some aim training for the dash and patience for precise jumps :D
nice short platformer where you control a monster who can dash once in the air (kind of like celeste) while this game doesn't have much content, it is still a fun experience and it has an amazing visual style you can finish the 5 levels in about 10 minutes, but you can always try to speedrun the later levels, which is definitely a good challenge :)
Short game but its amazing, please make a longer one
Игра "Nohra" захватила меня с первых минут своей медитативной атмосферой и неспешным геймплеем. Визуальный стиль, выполненный в приглушенных тонах, создает ощущение спокойствия и умиротворения, идеально подходящее для расслабляющего вечера. Головоломки, хоть и не отличаются запредельной сложностью, требуют внимательности к деталям и дают приятное чувство удовлетворения после решения. Особенно хочется отметить звуковое сопровождение – эмбиентные мелодии прекрасно дополняют визуальную составляющую и усиливают эффект погружения. Сюжет подается ненавязчиво, через окружение и небольшие текстовые вставки, оставляя игроку пространство для собственных интерпретаций. Из минусов можно отметить некоторую однообразность механик ближе к концу игры, но это не сильно портит общее впечатление. В целом, "Nohra" – отличный выбор для тех, кто ищет атмосферный и ненапряжный пазл с красивым визуалом и приятным саундтреком. Рекомендую!
