This is an amazing game in just about every way. Play it.1 found this helpful
It's a great RPG/Survival Horror indie game that should definitely get more love. There's a proc gen aspect to it that's very light (basically reshuffling of rooms and a bit of randomness). It's like: What if there was a Silent Hill/Clock Tower side-scrolling RPG with an interesting story, where you can make a ton of different character builds and have a decent challenge? -Yes Please. Excellent Horror atmosphere, very nice variety of enemies, many different tools at your disposal. The way the proc gen works is perfect for the NG+, where you can find new questlines and a hidden ending. Amazing stuff from a solo developer.
The game has a slow start but has some very cool mechanics.
Lots of depth and a good story. Great enemy designs and some interesting ways to customise how you play. Also fairly spooky with good atmosphere
It's a great little dark souls like side scroller. The story and atmosphere are interesting and it never really gets in the way of gameplay. You can understand as much or as little as you like. The gameplay gives you many different builds, play styles, upgrades, costumes, items. All have their merit and you can come up with a variety of clever strategies to defeat your foes. I did end up switching to easy mode around halfway through as there is some grinding to do which I couldn't really be bothered with and this did make the game way too easy. Something to keep in mind as this did hamper my enjoyment. I really liked the atmosphere and theme of the game. A creepy ever changing dream universe with various interesting characters, and plot were you are never sure where it will lead. If you like dark souls side scrollers then I would definitely recommend this.
Bought after playing the demo a while back, and was floored at just how engaging and fun I found it. It gave me a similar addicting feeling I had when first playing Resident Evil 2 Remake where I just couldn't put it down until I was through. I'm also not really a roguelike enjoyer typically, but I felt this game struck a balance that put more control in my hands with the rememberance system, and was generally less punishing. A refreshing game that strikes a perfect and unique balance of horror and action that keeps you on your toes on a first playthrough, but still remains fun and exciting on following playthroughs.
