The Aching Aversion

The Aching Aversion is an experimental psychological horror game that places atmosphere, uncertainty, and exploration ahead of conventional action. Developed and published by Stenblood, the game uses a mysterious bunker as the foundation for an experience that becomes increasingly surreal the deeper the player investigates it. Instead of presenting the bunker as an ordinary underground structure with a predictable collection of rooms, the game builds its identity around the idea that what exists inside can depend on how it is approached. This unusual premise gives the environment an unstable, dreamlike quality and immediately establishes that the player should not expect traditional rules of space or reality. One of the most intriguing aspects of The Aching Aversion is its treatment of perception. The bunker is effectively more than a physical location, since the circumstances surrounding entry can influence what appears beyond its entrance.

"The Aching Aversion" is a crappy RPG Maker game, although they worked out how to use one of the 3D engines, giving us something other than the usual asset flipped retro 2D pixelcrap garbage. They also made their own art assets, we can tell because they're awful too. RPG Maker never made a successful game, but it does enable people who otherwise wouldn't be able to make a game at all to make these unsuccessful shovelware games. It's hard to tell from the really, really bad graphics here, but the idea of this RPG Maker game is you explore a bunch of creepy "bunkers", not that there's any reason to want to... and the player counts for this game show that nobody did. This features fairly low quality low poly 3D visuals which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and it's clear the developers behind this didn't understand that. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work t…

Surreal and doesn't make much sense. It's not really entertaining enough to be this 'off the wall' with the narrative, either.
