Very fun lil game, has some good puzzles, and while the game is only like 4hrs long, it was a good time. If you liked games like Carrion, you'll probably like this one too! Overall, I had a lot of fun, it was very satisfying, definitely worth the price.

This seems like something that would have served as inspiration for [url=store.steampowered.com/app/953490/CARRION/]CARRION , as in: you play as the horror monster that people run away from, instead of running from it yourself. This is structured in levels, and you have to kill or scare away every human in each level to win. There are also some character written notes you unlock that give you a small simple story. Your monster can only move inside the ground, and eat the humans from below. You can also possess boulders and use them to move around and crush people. Later on, some new mechanics get introduced, but you can figure those out on your own. You mostly only need to use your mouse to move, it's really simple to understand. But the real challenge/fun comes from how you can so easily realise you have no ground or boulder to reach the last human(s). So yeah, this is a puzzle game, you have to figure out a route through each 2D level in order to not lock yourself out of some area. You choose where in the level you will spawn, and move between different ground sections by pushing the boulders that you possess to new places. If you realise you're stuck, you can press R to instantly try again. The story is alright, whatever, and the game has a lot of annoying bugs and little things that don't work as they seem they should, which means it gets frustrating at times. But overall, it is fun, and some of the puzzles really make you think about which order you should plan out your moves. I'd recommend it for its puzzles and for how cheap it gets on sale. You can also get all the achievements pretty easily while you complete all the levels. Just be aware it's a very simpe (and sometimes annoying) game, there isn't much special to it, but it can be fun.
