"The Monster Always Wins"

This game puts you underground in a cave with a relentless monster and gives you a flashlight. The concept sounds intense, but the execution is more frustrating than fun. The gameplay loop is simple: you stare at the monster to keep it from advancing, but if you stare too much, you die. If you look away, you die. If you mistime your flashlight when the lights go out… you guessed it—die.

It feels like there’s no room for error, and instead of creating tension, it just feels punishing. The balance between survival and inevitable failure is so tight that it’s hard to stay engaged.

The atmosphere is creepy, and the idea is interesting, but when every decision ends in death, it quickly stops being enjoyable. If you’re into trial-and-error frustration, you might find something here, but for most players, it’s probably best to look away.

Great game.
It's simple, but engaging. The sound design is also great and immersive, and i find the controls intuitive.
Very much recommend it.

It's fairly simple. The gameplay is pretty refreshing and the horror design is awesome. You actually have to focus and the mechanics have to be learned a bit, if you do that - it is a fun experience to play around for a bit of time, maybe play through all the game modes.
