It's a short demo, but communicates the spoopiness pretty well. Got a couple minor jump scares, but they're tasteful ones.

It's a bit linear for my taste, but seems to be more about atmosphere/storytelling than it is about exploration/puzzles.

There's some kinda collectibles, but I have no idea what they are. It'll be interesting to see how they work in the full version.

This is a fun lil' rhythm game. It plays kinda like ddr/stepmania, with 3 arrow keys instead of 4. It has a really simple pollen collecting minigame between dance fights, where you can search for tokens to spend in a shop that make the dance fights a bit easier.

That said, it's not super challenging, just yet, but it looks like there's more content coming in the form of DLC, so things will probably step up in difficulty as the game and DLC goes on.

It was a little buggy (heh) on launch, but it seems like all the issues I had before have been patched. Love to see a supported game.

I'm not usually one for puzzle/strategy type games, but this one has lil' powerups that can turn a match around in your favour, and that made it actually pretty fun for me!

If you like strategy games, you'll probably like this. If you don't, there's still a chance you'll enjoy it!

This game is hard, yo.

It's fun, but I would be lying if I said I didn't curse at the game a bunch. Still, I did enjoy the experience overall, and would recommend playing it if you like a challenge.

This is both a really chill experience, and a very challenging game at the same time. There's no consequence for playing poorly, but you still feel the urge to get a puzzle done in as few moves as possible.

I like the various options for background pictures/music, but think the defaults are the best choice anyway.

Game starts off super easy, then gets pretty hard pretty quickly. I admit I don't see myself being able to do all 200+ levels, but it's fun to poke at when I've got free time.

This is a fun little game! It's not super long, which happens to make it a really fun game to try to speedrun. I managed to get my time down to 8:15. I wonder if anybody can beat that.

Horror is a genre that is really easy to do poorly.

Team Zutsuu did not do it poorly, though. There are a couple of audio balance issues that they're working on, and apparently they're going to add full gamepad support (Though with some rebinding on Steam, I was able to play with gamepad anyway).

I love that they added a dev commentary mode that you unlock after beating the game, and ended up going through the whole thing immediately after finishing the game once.

Without spoiling too much, there's some replayability, and I think it might even be fun to try speedrunning.

I joked while watching the trailer "ermagerd, pixel art platformer with wall jumping, just like Celeste", but honestly, it looks like this game is quite clear about its inspiration. Without spoiling much, it definitely feels like that sort of game, but a lot heavier on the puzzle aspect, with what feels like some nods to Ori and the Blind Forest's escape sequences.

I'm not sure if something has changed since people wrote reviews about it being buggy 2 years ago, but I only encountered a couple of glitches in my entire playthrough.

I like challenging games, and this was definitely one of them. Kept me interested enough to play through the whole thing (100%, achievements, etc) in one sitting.

My only complaints are:
- While playing with gamepad, your aim snaps to targets, and I don't think there's any way to *not* do that, making it hard to lead my shots
- The relics, while an interesting challenge to collect, feel extremely pointless. Would have been cool if you got more than some colour added to some voxel statues.
- Might've been nice to give another shoutout to Celeste by showing what part of a stage you are missing a relic in, instead of having to scour the entire level for a single missing thing.

Simple lil' puzzle platformer. Little jarring at first seeing a block get blown up and it flies... Toward the explosion? But I get it; Puzzles.

Game only took me like 70 minutes (not 100%), with me being stuck on a not-that-difficult puzzle for like 35 minutes (I am not an intelligent man), but it has got some serious speedrun potential! I think a dedicated player could get the time below 10 minutes.

Would be nice if it showed gamepad controls (Guessing what the keyboard inputs map to wasn't hard, but was inconvenient), or had an option to rebind them, but not bad.

(Note: The game does weirdly run out of memory and crash if you retry 10 or so times. This can happen mid-run, so speedrunners beware)

If you like FromSoft games, you'd like this. Without spoiling much, it's massively open-world, which is a refreshing change from the usual narrow hallways and moderately branching alternate routes.

They tried something new, and made it work fantastically. As always, there are some bosses that are just awful the first time around, but you've got a ton of options of other things to do if you get stuck on a boss.
