Horripilant

This game is really boring but addictive in the same. I was initially attracted by the retro-horror style and was looking forward to some mystery/dungeoneering, but after a couple of hours I just found myself watching the same sword slash animation over and over, clicking buttons to watch numbers go up, and then resetting when enough numbers had gone up. I know that's the idle game genre in a nutshell, but I felt afterwards like I just wasted my time.

An excellent incremental game where the progression feels incredibly smooth and the active gameplay elements work flawlessly. The integration of escape room puzzles to progress the plot and expand the power system works brilliantly, all wrapped in a unique art style that builds a fantastic atmosphere. TLDR: Highly recommended for any incremental fan.

Probably one of the best clicker/incremental games I've played with excellent RPG elements and horror point & click vibes! with an excellent grungy graphic style and a fantastic soundtrack! Horripilant is an incredible experience that combines multiple game genres together masterfully, great haunting atmosphere and fantastic ambient music and sounds really seep into your mind, combine this with some grotesque looking dungeon monsters and a gritty environment and you get something truly special! This game was excellent from start to finish, tiny bit grindy and a tiny bit cryptic at times but otherwise a solid experience! Regarding the grind? I DEFINITELY recommend using an autoclicker ;) Fantastic game! worth a buy!

Game for ill, mentally unstable, shizo persons. A 10/10 incremental game, like none other. Aside the incremental part it offers a good story with puzzle elements. Really interesting and well made. A true hiddem gem which may look weird on the screenshots on Steam. Dont sleep on it

The best clicker game i have played in a long while

For the price this is a very good idle game that you should pick up if you're a fan of idle games. One of the major things that I liked over some other idle games is that numbers don't need to get super insane to complete the story. Speaking of the story the puzzle hunt was good.

(REVIEW IN CONSTUCTION) +Amazing graphical art. +Creepy randomness is always thrilling. +Dark fantasy storyline. +Cool & interesting puzzles. -Insufferably grinding, completely disrespecting the player's time spending a half a day clicking just to progress to the next part. Boring and tedious clicking. Ruined the game for me. Because of this, i absolutely wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Disappointed, was extremely excited to buy & play this game, only to be met with a game of filler clicking loop that is dreadfully boring. This game is wasted potential to amazing graphical design and awesome random creepiness met with a boring clicker game feature. I would reccomend to the developer to redevelop the game making it more fun to play by removing or improving the idel clicker part.

[h3] Horripilant — Une expérience sombre qui réécrit le mythe de Sisyphe[/h3] Un univers sombre. Des ressources à accumuler, des améliorations en pagaille et mille étages de monstres à purger sans le moindre prérequis de skill. Il suffit de cliquer, d'attendre, d'acheter, puis de descendre un peu plus bas. Recommencer. En apparence, Horripilant est un jeu incrémental comme il en existe des dizaines, calibré pour occuper une trentaine d'heures, le temps d'empocher tous ses succès. Dans ce type de jeu, l'essentiel du plaisir côté joueur est de voir de petits chiffres devenir de très très (trèèèèèès) gros nombres. Dans Horripilant, c'est différent. Toutes les mécaniques principales du genre sont présentes. Y compris la "renaissance". C'est à dire le sacrifice de sa progression, recommencer le jeu du début. En échange, on obtient une monnaie spéciale. Cette dernière permet d'acquérir des bonus persistants qui, petit à petit, font une différence colossale. On remonte la pente de plus en plus rapidement, transformant les seuils infranchissables en simples formalités. Mais là où le genre habille généralement cette boucle de chiffres colorés et de gratification inoffensive, Horripilant choisit l'organique et le morbide. Le jeu s'enracine dans la décomposition : on nourrit les ressources que l'on collecte d'étranges chairs putréfiées, on pactise avec des aberrations et l'on accepte la dégradation physique de son avatar pour grappiller quelques pourcentages de rendement. [i]"Chaque don a sa part de fardeau"[/i] Le body horror n'est pas ici un simple apparat cosmétique : il donne corps à l'aliénation. Le gain de ressources, les améliorations et les renaissances enferment petit à petit le joueur. Le travail répétitif et le désir constant d’optimisation ne mènent pas à la liberté, mais à une automatisation morbide de sa propre exploitation. La morale du jeu tient dans cette symbiose toxique, résumée dès sa présentation : [i]"Les profondeurs ont besoin de vous. Et vous, d'elles"[/i]. C'est une histoire sombre. Profondément cynique. Le mythe de Sisyphe réécrit. Le besoin compulsif de progresser, d'amasser et de vaincre ne mène peut-être qu'à la reconduction du système qui nous détruit ou à la contemplation du vide. Après toutes ces heures à cliquer, progresser et recommencer encore et encore, on le comprend dans sa chair. A méditer. [code]Vous avez aimé cette analyse ?

Way, way too grindy for an incremental. Automating the beginning portion after rebirths should be earlier in the skill tree. Having to juggle between Material and Equipment screen constantly to upgrade gear is insanely tedious and just very bad UI design. Combat is incredibly unengaging and boring. And the final boss requires running -1000- levels straight in a single run. Material grinding is the least interesting and unrewarding activity I've seen in an incremental in a long time. There's just so many problems with the fundamental design of the game, I cannot be bothered to write more (e.g. the obnoxious back and forth for the puzzles, lack of QoL like being able to have the pattern notes up at the same time when inputting them, the slow progression system, etc). It's a shame, because the concept and aesthetic of the game is really quite interesting. But, unfortunately, the game design is just so, so off the mark.
