Psychroma

Short narrartive about identity and memory. A fun bit of body horror although with a touch of cosmic horror. Got on sale, which I'd recommend for the amount of content. Content is delivered in interesting ways, albeit most if not all is reading. Unique piece of art, happy to have played it.

If you are looking for a queer, sci-fi, horror point and click this might be for you

You have a good message and good body horror visuals, I'll give Psychroma that. But the game fails at everything you claimed it would be. It's not scary. I didn't even twitch once, and I physically can't play Spooky's House of Jumpscares without screaming like a little girl. It's not psychological, because you made your story devolve into incomprehensible vagueposting at the end. Surrealist visuals with no connection to your message/main theme whatsoever don't tend to connect emotionally. You also forgot that to be a psychological game, there needs to be some mental impact on the characters and you made your main character an amnesiac who reacts vaguely horrified to everything. There are three cards total, and only two altars to use it for a total of six brief memories. The game description makes it seem like more, but they're really not. They also don't really cover your past? Two of the six are related to other characters who are important but not really the main character's story. $10 for a two hour game btw. Not a real fan of the pricing either. Achievements are not hard: they are of the "click everything interactable in a room" type. i also don't think the plot does a goo…

Now that was an unexpected trip! Great short story with very interesting world building around it and a beautiful approach to both visual style and the complex themes it portrays.

I didn't really know what I was gonna get when I started this, but now that I've gone through it I'm glad I did. I'm not entirely sure about what happened, but I really liked the themes in play and how they were handled. Keeping it intentionally vague as that's in keeping with the start of the game. If you enjoy story-forward adventure games that touch on heavy topics, this is a must-play.

Narratively, I thought this was excellent. Solid, cerebral fungus horror. Unfortunately I encountered a number of bugs whilst playing this. A couple of them required restarting the game. It would be nice to see some bug fixes to this.
