Eclipsium

An amazing acid trip of a walking simulator, worth every cent. I regret not playing this earlier.

jogo curto mas extremamente lindo

Unique, short & sweet, and worth the money! I binged it on a Saturday between finishing a long game & starting another. The music and art style are great, it has creative storytelling, I really appreciate the updates significantly optimizing the game (which is unfortunately uncommon for many developers), and it has a free expansion. I'd pick it up if you're on the fence or are a fan of odd, dark horror/fantasy (Hellraiser, Suspiria, The Shining, and The Lighthouse come to mind).

Truly beautiful and existential. As horrific as the first two thirds were, these were well spend hours, even if few. Don't let the horror portions throw you off of just how much of a twist of wonder this has. The puzzles aren't as complicated as I was making them for myself, but maybe something that can be read up on to skip if stuck, as figuring them out yourself does not matter much for the narrative and journey experience. Pacing is more important, not something to skip right away, but probably don't spend more than 5-10 minutes stuck. Also, don't use highest, or maybe anything over the recommended/default visual setting as the later game area crashed a few times for me doing so.

Equal parts disturbing and compelling journey. Peak surrealism.

This is possibly one of the most beautiful games I have ever played. It's visceral, ethereal and humbling all at the same time. The pixelated filter and sharp colors of each setting make this game a joy to look at the whole time I played. The OST was also breathtaking, and I can count half a dozen times that a music track had me immediately pause the game to find it on Youtube and add it to my various playlists. That being said, gameplay-wise it is a walking simulator (and a very slow one at that) with light puzzle elements and not much else. The game is fairly linear, but sometimes fails at adequately communicating which way the player is meant to go, and the pixelated nature of the graphics can sometimes make that problem worse. Additionally, this game doesn't really have anything you could call a coherent plot, but rather a series of settings that blend into each other, with various elements showing up consistently between them. While I acknowledge that this game is meant to feel dreamlike, and thus this works in the game's favor aesthetic-wise, gameplay-wise it's hard to tell what you're actually supposed to be DOING beyond holding down the W and LShift keys. I can't necessarily say I had a lot of FUN playing this game, but as someone with a deep appreciation towards the various different artforms a game can employ, I still found myself appreciating this experience nonetheless. Overall I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys avant-garde art game experiences, because this game has that in spades. Unfortunately it doesn't offer too much else beyond that, but for what it's trying to be, I don't think it needs to.
