A creepy and weird puzzle mystery/horror hybrid. Short, but fantastic. 10/10 You are a mute little goblin creature summond by an old lady to solve a mystery. More spooky than horrific, and there are only a few puzzles in the game, and they are mostly regarding the various secrets and a alt ending. The main game is pretty much just figuring out what happend. Outstanding visual style and sound design. This dev has definitly a bright future in front of them. Finishing the story and figuring out the mystery isn't too hard if you pay attention to visual clues and what characters say. Yes it's short, took me around 2 hours to do everything. Completion wasn't too much of an issue. You will probably need a guide for at least some of the secret achievements, because some of them are pretty obscure, including the one where you are intentionally breaking the game and falling of the map at a sepcific place. The speedrun one is fairly easy as long as you know what to do (had 30 seconds or so to go).

Pros and cons are down below) Check out my video on Carimara here if you want to (I don't reveal the solution): https://youtu.be/X1BM-_wSKlc + : 1. The art style, the sound design, the overall vibe of the game is unique and very captivating. I bought the game because of the vibe and didn't regret it. 2. The mystery. The main story is short and the secret is rather easy to solve but there is more to this game (which I go in depth about in my video). When you finish the game and unlock only half of the achievements, you realize, there is a whole additional story layer that consists solely of secrets. That's how achievements should be done really! Hinting at secrets and making you want to play more. Secrets lead to a whole other ending btw :D - : 1. The game is very short, you'll finish it in around 30 minutes max. The story with all the secret lore will probably take 1 hour or 1.5 hours to complete. So assess the cost / value ratio for yourselves to determine if it's worth it or not to you. (to me it was worth it :D) 2. There is a visual effect constantly present that looks like everything constantly slightly moving in a jerky manner. I personally am not sensitive to that kind of stuff but if you have photo sensitivity or something like that, check carefully if this game is ok for you to play before buying it. I can imagine that effect being unpleasant for some people. Overall: I believe we need more games like this one and Bastinus Rex (the dev) did express the ambition to make a series in this style so I recommend this experience in hopes that more people play it and we get more similar games :D

[H1]A tiny masterpiece that leaves you craving answers (and more)[/H1] CARIMARA: Beneath the Forlorn Limbs is a short but fascinating story-driven point-and-click adventure that perfectly blends eerie charm with creative gameplay. It’s one of those games that hooks you from the first screen. It's mysterious, melancholic, and beautifully strange. You collect cards that let you interact with your environment in unique ways, uncovering secrets and story threads as you go. The world feels alive in that quiet, unsettling way: every character oozes personality, the French voice acting is great, the art style pulls you straight into its weird beauty, and the soundtrack fits every moment like a glove. It’s dark but not grim, spooky but still cozy: the ideal Halloween mood despite not being Halloween themed at all. The game is bursting with secrets, and the achievements cleverly guide you toward discovering them all. Everything feels intentional and meaningful, down to the quirky achievement names. The story itself is rich and layered, though one of the alternate endings does leave a cliffhanger , but it somehow works within this mysterious world. Sure, it’s short (around an 1h30 for 100%), and the speedrun achievement cuts it close, which demanded me multiple attempts, but for what it offers, it’s perfectly paced. It’s a quick, hauntingly sweet experience that rewards curiosity and attention to detail. Overall, CARIMARA is a little indie gem that feels handcrafted for fans of narrative and visual oddities like [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1764390/BAD_END_THEATER/?curator_clanid=45639970]BAD END THEATER or [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1889040/Birth/?curator_clanid=45639970]Birth . It's short, strange, and full of heart. Exactly what an autumn evening calls for.

When a developer doesn't try to please everyone and simply creates from their own vision, you get a game like this. Hidden gem, 9/10!

A very short, atmospheric exploration puzzle game with a hauntingly gorgeous art style and soundtrack, and a very simple, but entertaining gameplay loop. Its story is heartwarming and poignant, and offers interesting secrets if you dig deep enough. The creator expresses the idea of making more episodes such as this, and I, for one, would love to see more. Very much worth the asking price!
