The Coma: Recut

The Coma series by Devespresso Games is a masterclass in indie-2D hand-drawn survival horror. Closer in play style to Clock Tower with a core game thread of sneaking, hiding, running, and solving puzzles to unravel a nut-bag story. Is nut bag hyphenated? 
 Anyway, I played the entire series back-to-back because I have too much time and have a love for all things Korean culture and nut-baggary. The original is The Coma: Cutting Class (later re-released as The Coma: Recut), followed by a sequel, The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters, and a companion to the sequel called The Coma 2b: Catacombs. Coma 3: Bloodlines was released earlier this year. 
Devespresso Games does a great job on building on each game and adding much-needed elements to gameplay or fixes. While the first entry starts out slow, eventually the developers introduced resource management, minor crafting, and better health and stamina systems to the later games. I am unsure if there is any juice left to squeeze from this series, but the adventure was worth it. The premise of The Coma: Recut is based around a Korean high schooler named Youngho who is trying to survive finals and discovers a portal to a hellish mirror world that …

ayo this game is ass bro lmao edit: changed to positive cause ms.song bad as hell ngl

I am sorely disappointed with this game. This may simply be a matter of someone just saying "too hard" but the gameplay of this feels like a chore. It makes sense of a horror game to heighten the sense of helplessness by letting you figure out what you need to do but the real pain with this is that even tho they give you a map and kindly mark your location on it, they sometimes mark where you're supposed to go and sometimes don't. Thus, you are left to just apply process of exhaustion, going over every location you have unlocked so far which is bad enough without avoiding the antagonist. It's effectively terrifying and tense at first. Initially, she seems unstoppable and inescapable and they leave you figure out how to navigate her (which was actually quite annoying). It felt very inconsistent tho; sometimes holding my breth works and sometimes not. Anyway, you have to just wait her out in the classrooms which she just doesn't go into unless she spots you going into them and even when she leaves you have to just wait for her to leave the vicinity. No gameplay, just waiting. This is good in moderation but there is way too much of it. At about two thirds of the way thru …

I found The Coma to be a really fun game! One in which I felt as stressed as my character did at times but overall is a horror game I'd recommend for someone who enjoys something a bit more casual or absolutely loves lore! Pros: - Awesome artstyle! I genuinely love how everything looks! - Interesting plot! - Stalker type monster that changes over time! (Changes are mostly cosmetic but near the end can deal more damage and status effects.) - Good music! (Some music was a bit hit or miss but overall the tracks are awesome!!! My favorite has to be the track that plays when you're in the school nurses room.) Cons: - odd control scheme without the ability to change it. - Sometimes the stalker would camp. (I couldn't tell if this was a feature or if she'd just get kinda stuck at times?! Sometimes I'd just be stuck in a room to the point of annoyance and boredom.) - Janky floor enemies (Sometimes I could dodge their attacks, other times I couldn't, but by the end I just ended up doing a shimmy by them to bait out their attacks instead of risking it. Overall I really really enjoyed the game and would recommend it to any of my friends!!! Although now I have a new worry when…

I just cant give a positive review to a game where i need to run away from my enemy like i have to do in this game! I am not born a sissy! I want to fight my enemies! Who the hell came up with the idea that beaing a weakling is a good idea? This makes me FURIOUS!

its ok
