“I loved every minute of it, the art style is charming, the music is hypnotic, the character writing is delightful. I only wish i could have spent more time with this game and it's strange and hypnotic world”
“For a game supposedly inspired by Courage the Cowardly Dog, I can confidently say that Anthology of the Killer often lives up to, and at point exceeds its inspiration. The contrast between running from a killer to…”
“This game really is art in it's purest form, I wholeheartedly believe it belongs in a museum. There isn't really a single element that I can say is the best. they're all puzzle pieces that perfectly fit together to form…”

“Very enjoyable adventure game with a unique aesthetic and fun cartoony style, if you enjoyed RPG maker adventure/horror games you will probably like this as well.”
“The most charming and unsettling horror game I've played. The best one too. This one is fun and knows not to take itself way too serious. It also became my favorite in terms of walking sims. I love BB a lot. She's fun…”

“charming in every way to the writing, music, environments (especially these!), characters, everything. i want to revisit these games every so often. its good!”
“the entire 5 hours of my first playthrough i felt like i was a new kid at school, observing the cool kids from the outside, not completely understanding the unending coolness, but wanting so bad to be part of whatever…”

“Crazy that a game with art and writing this good is only $7. It's one of the more interesting horror games in recent memory, and definitely worth a try if it looks at all appealing to you.”
“Surreal multi-episode adventure thing that manages a balance of horror & comedy quite well, looks great (some impressive visual shifts going on here), has a fantastic protagonist (could read BB's yapping all day) & has…”
“Fever dream, but a beautiful one. Absolutely worth the money at full price, TRY IT!”

“It's surprisingly completely brilliant. From absurd comedy-horror to dealing with notions of the nature of history written with an allusive depth nigh unseen in video games, these scuttling sprites in cant corridors…”
“The way BB talks and describes things is so descriptive and funny. The game is also super atmospheric and nothing like i have ever played before. Art style is crude and whacky but super charming at the same time. The…”
“i love the art and the music, very indie feeling! works very well on steamdeck too (though the first person camera movements can feel an eeny bit slow thats okay)”

“Game is good.... Protegonist should have been.... Hmm... Killed?”
“that sure was a, Anthology game is very good, doesn't really stick to one thing, jumping from point to point back and forth. i enjoyed it nonetheless i think theres a skeleton somewhere in here”
“Вы когда-нибудь заваривали чай через дуршлаг? В данном случае дуршлаг это ваша голова, а чай - целостный сюжет. По крайней мере тут есть вайб шизы, если вы фанат шизовайба - вам сюда.”

“really not something I'd usually care about, I don't like walking sims. Regardless 'Anthology Of The Killer' was some seriously cutting stuff for me, something that'll be on mind for an indefinite amount of time and…”
“This is a game where you walk around usually dark rooms and the text on the screen representing the protagonists voice reads as both descriptions of the disgusting rooms themselves, and also many a funny observation or…”

“I quite enjoyed this game but also I am unemployed. I recommend this game to other people who don't have a job.”
— a player, Steam review · 8 hrs played“Anthology of the Killer is… weird. It simultaneously feels much smarter and much dumber than it appears. It is a looping satire of everything it touches, almost becoming a satire of satire itself. It is an incredible example of what video games can achieve not purely through a…”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“I'm actually not sure what to say about this. A series of horror vignettes that become progressively longer and more complex as you go through them. As the kids say, the "vibe" is incredibly distinct, but you can feel the influence of a lot of horror classics in it. I kind of…”
