“This is actually a puzzle game, it just very cleverly disguises itself as a roguelike And it's an amazing puzzle”

“Big meh. I love metanarratives and dark theming, but the game loop is boring, the story is cool but has no hook, the characters feel edgy for the sake of being edgy, and rather than pulling any real emotional weight, it…”

“This is not a complete review since I decided to stop playing the game after 1.5 hour. I know me giving a downvote will not affect the overall score of the game on steam. It’s something I appreciate because my intention…”
“Reaaally fun and interesting:) A repetition based game, but it's in that sweet spot where it doesn't get tiring or irritating; trying out new stuff comes easy bc of it, and there's a lot try out and discover. In a way,…”
“Very stylish and creepy roguelike. Great art and music. Filled to the absolute brim with secrets to find. I don't want to spoil any story elements but I found piecing together all the vague dialogue and fleshing out the…”

“Honestly one of my all time favourite games. Fun rogue-lite with some very interesting but obscure lore. Enough gameplay to have a good time for a while but not too boring or repetitive (if you dont try to 100% this…”
“Resource management, survival horror roguelike w/ turn-based combat. You'll get plenty of hours of fun figuring out the puzzles behind this game. I still have a ton of content to complete, but I've had a lot of fun…”
“Overall a very very fun game about at 8 or 9/10. A lot more fun for a lot longer than anticipated. I am almost done and enjoyed it quite a lot. I really like the gameplay loop, items and characters. I would say that the…”

“The actual moment to moment gameplay is incredibly boring, ultimately just being an RNG location select followed by a turn based battle. Not for me.”

“I have never been angrier at a game in my entire life. Imagine having a gun with 85-90% accuracy, one bullet, one heart, and one shot needed to kill the last of the Crimson Dancers and your gun jams. The rage that I…”
“At first I didn't realize this was a rogue-like and it felt unfair, but it goes into depth way more than I expected. Although I honestly don't have the motivation to continue I don't know where the skin is or what I'm…”

“This game is genuinely an experience with nothing else like it. While its gameplay is simple, it goes much deeper than what is first seen. It is a phenomenal game, and I highly recommend it to anyone who can stomach body horror. Secrets seem to be hidden literally everywhere-…”
