I originally bought this game because Jerma sucked at it so bad that it irritated me; I'm very glad I did. Thanks Jerma.

Great mechanics and gameplay loop and really intriguing artstyle. def going to put a lot of hours into this one. however a "Zen" mode without stamina, enemies and the rising ooze for people who just want to climb without pressure would be a cool addition.

First you think it's a ragebait "weird controls" stream game, then you actually like the controls, then *really* like the controls. Then you realize It's a horror game Then you realize it's a speed game Then you realize it's a roguelite Then you realize you've been having fun the whole time.

I saw this game thanks to Markiplier. it looked really fun. Turns out that is completely true! Thanks for a great game, graphics are artistically grainy, but feels like it was intentional and i like it, adds to the horror feel of it. The climbing aspect is great as well. One critic i have is that i would like to have numbers on the inventory weight restriction, does it slow me down? when does it start to slow me down? why does a bug weigh as much as a metal stick with a bomb on it? Or is it number of items? how much am i slowed down based on each item in my inventory? These are things i would like to be visible as i like to know what consequences my actions have
