    Using somekind of FF7 chibi-like character model look is a very interesting artistic decision.

    Myabe halfway through, and it's good! These shorter indie games are a relief. Playing Rebirth, I'm often doing side quests during the paltry few hours I get every week to game, and I long for the old days you could finish a game in a weekend. This and Faith were admittedly the most fun per hours spent I've had this year.

    Watching I reca playing one survival horror where you were in a dream. You went through a lot of mental pain and so everything was limited. The scariest part is that the environment changes constantly like a randomiser. I don't usually play survival horror but after that, I played Silent Hill on an actual PS1 and and behold, I never had this sense of dread over everything.

  • @MarcelisKhaldern
    @MarcelisKhaldern 6 місяців тому +1

    Finished this yesterday and loved it! There's only one puzzle that feels dumb and worth spoiling for those coming in (note this is correct st time of writing):
    The Mush Room puzzle gives 6 mushrooms, 3 safe to eat, 3 not. The game gives you the tools to figure out which ones are which, and it feels good to eat only the safe ones without error but it doesnt matter; you're supposed to eat all of them anyway and just tank the damage with medkits. You'd think the safe ones might maybe help with that, but no, they dont. It's easily the worst puzzle

    I ADORE this game and I'm so happy I went into it blind. The level design is great , gameplay is fun and it's so charming, yet spooky.
    The puzzles were more of a range of fun or simple aside from the train. The game is not the least bit subtle with its hints, often giving too many. One code to a cool puzzle is actually spoiled if you look around the same area.
    Those decisions to me were frustrating, but it's otherwise a 10/10 experience.
