A pretty good point and click adventure. No dialogue or anything, just a creepy world where you play this weird bulb shaped kid. The visuals are what really attracted this to me after being recommended it. I found the puzzles fun and not too stressful . The game is about 2hrs for anyone that is interested.
This game is... decent, but incredibly short. For a horror game, it's quite cutesy, and a lot of the horror factors felt more gross than scary to me. Sometimes they even felt funny. There's not much happening in terms of story. The game summary gives more story details than the actual game. However, the puzzles themselves were fun and not too complicated. The hint system is a little weird but still works well. Even when I got stuck I was never frustrated or too lost to progress. The world you explore is abstract and odd, but its rules are consistent. I liked the unique gimmick of being able to take your head off, and possessing other objects and creatures made for some good entertainment. There are a few easter eggs to find. I really liked the soundtrack! It felt trippy and nostalgic in the best way. Pick this up on sale if a short, strange, and kind of creepy puzzle game is what you're looking for.
A fun little horror-puzzle game that nails its creepy vibe without ever feeling overwhelming. The hand-drawn art is weird, unsettling, and charming at the same time, and the puzzles are straightforward but satisfying. It is definitely on the short side, and getting 100% completion is pretty easy, but that almost works in its favor. It never overstays its welcome. Overall, it is a quick, eerie experience that is perfect if you want something atmospheric and memorable without a big time commitment.
Emmmm complicated feelings on this cutie. The character and the environment design both won my heart, with cool sound effect which gave it extra point. However, the control of the game, by using mouse, just make the timing really hard and become repetitive during the game. So 3.5 since I bought it on sale.
