Really solid game, I feel like a cheater for not paying for this, congrats to the team that developed this and made it free. Music is good, graphics as well, game has good puzzles.
This is the kind of game that, had it come out around the time of Cave Story or La Mulana, would've blown people's minds. It isn't that time, and this game isn't going to blow anyone's mind, but it is a very competent exploration and puzzle game with action that is worth getting through to continue the exploration and puzzles. If that sounds like your jam, then buddy have I ever got a recommendation for you, because at the low low price of $0 you can't beat this value!

Hand drawn art style, challenging puzzles and platforming... i've only just begun my journey but I this game already delivers... and for FREE. You aren't going to find any better bang for your buck than this.
"Eldritchvania" is a great 2D-Metroidvania with an uniquely drawn artstyle, great lovecraftian setting and heavy focus on investigation/puzzles and tight boss battles. You play an elderly scottish scholar on his quest to save his son who got lost on his expedition investigating a subterranean eldritch civilisation. The spellcasting/madness mechanic is solid, the exploration is rewarding, albeit some items are quite well hidden (got a guide for this once/twice). The progression is all over the place, so expect backtracking, but luckily the map is very compact. The whole presentation seems a little quirky at first, but it soon manages to create a dense and uncanny atmoshpere! A great and unique title full of heart and a "faithful" lovecraftian experience! You can't go wrong, it is free, although it is worth much more!
Poderia ser bom mas tem muitas escolhas ruim, ter que ir atrás do mapa da área, a precisão não ser das melhores e essa mecânica tosca de sanidade que pode te deixar "preso" em um save realmente reduzem o jogo.
Dünya dışı harabeleri keşfedin, gizli bilmeceleri çözün ve dünyamızın unutulmuş derinliklerinde gizlenen tarif edilemez dehşetlere karşı kılıcınızı alın. İnsanların görmeyeceği sırları ortaya çıkarırken deliliğin sürünen pençesine dikkat edin!
I >LOVE< this game! If you are a massive fan of La-Mulana, then absolutely you should play this game. Very curious to see what the two devs do next.. Eldritchvania 2..yes?
good and free for some reason
A fun excursion.
shorter easier La-Mulana with nice art and innovations in hint tech
