I discovered this game through a youtuber and it made me curious. You would not tell from the style and graphics but it's a pretty challenging game! I even found the atmosphere/soundtrack to be quite ominous and unsettling lol I often felt nervous because the game is hard and you could lose all your progress with a simple mistake lol So it's better to go slow and not rush through the levels, take your time. But it's fun to figure out the best strategy to progress and win! It's also a very immersive game. I love the dungeons and different enemies; the thing I liked the most was the sound design which can be hilarious and satisfying to hear over and over. SPOILERS BELOW!! I found the "second book" (the one with lizards and those "lovely" statue enemies) to be harder than 3rd green book, so I found the spike in difficulty to be a lil jarring bc you go from the fish men dungeon which is beginner level to a very punishing challenging experience right away in order to unlock book 3. I don't know, maybe it was just my impression. I wish the game had more npcs to talk to... You can only talk to shopkeepers while everything else needs to be killed. I would have loved to interact with other npcs while I was busy exploring the world, maybe to know more about the creatures populating it. So in short: it's a very fun, silly and challenging game that I recommend. I'm glad I bought it.
This is a game I wish I could forget.. just so I could experience it for the first time again. It has such a neat vibe and even years after I played it, I still think about it occasionally. Since you're always on the lookout for monsters, the atmosphere kinda sucks you in. Definitely give this one a try, especially if you like HP Lovecraft!
