Apparatus: Exanimus

a treacherous journey through a multitude of epic puzzles

This game was definitely very much more complicated than I expected it to be. I like it quite a bit! I think, even beyond the more meta elements, the game itself I find very atmospheric and compelling, and I like its visual, sound, and level designs a lot. A very much slow-paced, exploration-heavy game that I think nails exactly what it's trying to do. And, the more ARG-ish elements that are within the game are not too crazy difficult to solve. I was able to solve most of it without much guidance. I'm not sure if this means that I'm better at ARGs then I thought, or if this one is just a bit more accessible and less insanely cryptic than other ones I have seen, but either way, piecing it together and solving the puzzles and exploring around its world were all very nice. I definitely recommend this game if you enjoy slow-paced, exploration-focused, atmospheric puzzle games and ARG-type stuff! The dragons in this game get a rating of 0/10, as there were no dragons in this game.

Finally I think I've found all the secrets. Such a gem of a game. Very cool lofi locales to explore while collecting and searching for secret files on a defunct (but very real) developer's website. Every time I thought I was done, I found something new that made me explore everything all over again. Loved every minute.

A wonderful dungeon crawler/walking sim/puzzle game/ ARG? A great title with a lot of mystery and a lot to say about what we make, what we leave behind, and who comes after.

Do you like Petscop? Do you wish you could actually *play* Petscop? Uh... are you OK? Is your family treating you right? Well... OK then! You'll enjoy this game, if by "enjoy," you mean "feel a sense of dread you can't quite name"

Awesome stuff, man. Great atmosphere. A lot of people say they got 90's vibes when all they got is low poly. THIS guy's got the 90's vibes in the bag. Can't wait to see more from this dev

Ok i can only describe this game as its own category of game. its weird, spooky, you always except something to happen but no. Its pure "dread" ITS SO INTERESTING. the game has many secrets. which you may not get the first time you see... my tip is: get a notebook and write down EVERYTHING you see :) Its great!
