petrichor

a beautiful lil game. initially, the texture jitter plucked my ocular nerve, but I grew to appreciate it and respect the vision. it's simple and short, but a shining example of art that is more than the sum of its parts.

Pretty cute! Takes about 20 minutes to beat. Fun to figure out.

petrichor is a super engaging quick puzzle horror where the puzzle is the entire game. locked in an eerie lofi-jitter cabin in the rainy woods, your candle always burning down with certain death at its end, try try again to find your way out. its quick and of course cant be "replayed" in the traditional sense but the price reflects that and the tone and atmosphere sell it really well.

cool game!

There's just... nothing to it. It's one building with a few rooms, and a shed. This is the kind of 15 minute game you find free on Itch, pushed as an actual game. There's no actual story. The only real puzzle is to find some numbers to open a combination lock. If you run into the woods, it's actually SAFER, as the monster leashes to the area around the house. Not that you can do anything out there. And the ending is... technically unexpected, but only because it has no context and therefore makes no sense.

Loved this! I think the idea of a condensed time loop metroidbrainia like this really works and I like the retro style and it didn't get in the way -- only wish there was more of it!
