Its a good game very simple but also challenging in some areas. the story is very open with lore so you can come to your own conclusions so if your thinking of getting this game get it and go down the loophole, once again.

I have never written a review for a game before but this game was too good to not write a review for. This game is very unique, not only in it's graphics but also its story, a story about medical care gone wrong and the feeling of being put through medical treatment you do not want but are forced to go through anyways. This game hits especially close if you have experienced some kind of forced medical treatment that you did not want. Having gone through that myself, the games story hit me especially hard. Combined with the PSX style graphics and the gibberish of the other characters voices, the experience feels truly surreal almost like a fever dream but without the overstimulation. The game also does a great job at delivering a horror experience with characters chasing you, dark rooms, and the general feeling of unease. That being said, the game also has multiple depressing elements to it with neglected patients, the soundtrack, constant raining, and the feeling of being trapped in a place of misery. As you try to escape, you will need to solve multiple puzzles along the way which requires some thinking and going back, looking for different routes, etc. but it was never too difficult for me. I completed the game twice and it took me only 7 hours even though the actual gameplay never felt that short, and I wish it was longer. This was the best horror game I have seen in a long while, it captures a perfect story, a great atmosphere, and the perfect amount of puzzles and horror elements that make the game both emotionally and mentally impactful while adding a genuine sense of horror.

Absurd, crunchy and deeply disturbing... if that sounds like something you'd like, you'll love the fantastically written and executed The Heilwald Loophole with its unique characters and abstract story. It's one of those indie horrors to just get lost in for a few hours and massage those parts of your brain that day-to-day life doesn't touch.

+ Unique concept, interesting characters and levels + graphics are intentionally scaled down to fit setting + death is not necessary to progress, but not punished either and can open new options +/- You benefit from knowing German because of some smaller details. Overall the game feels German.

Short and sweet, effective horror. It becomes a bit less scary on a second playthrough or after figuring out the character's ai, but it's still a good game.
