Life Eater

[b]5.5[/b]/10. Whether or not you think the narrative and presentation can make up for the dearth of compelling gameplay probably boils down to a matter of personal preference. Yes, the music, artwork, voice acting, story, and overall atmosphere make for a pretty unique concept, but the methodical gameplay involving nothing more than clicking some boxes, memorizing a small set of information, and clicking on an anatomical diagram does nothing to build upon the positives. Ultimately, the gameplay is the anchor what weighs the whole experience down. I think most would agree that [i]Life Eater[/i] is more [i]interesting[/i] than it is [i]good[/i]. I've certainly never played anything quite like it. Strange Scaffold's games are often this way. For example, I didn't find puzzling my way through [i]An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs[/i] to be an especially edifying experience, but I can confidently say I haven't played anything that captures its unique brand of absurdity either before or since playing it. Ultimately, I think I'd softly recommend [i]Life Eater[/i], but with some caveats. Firstly, I'd only recommend it to fans of psychological horror who want to try something new. Like many of the developer's other games, it's unique within its genre but notably flawed. Secondly, I'd recommend it if you're looking for something short to play between longer games. With a full playthrough only lasting 2-4 hours, you're likely to complete it in a session or two. Probably for the best considering the disturbing content, because finally, I'd only recommend this game if you think you can stomach it. Doing a deep-dive on a possibly deranged serial killer isn't a taste for all palates, but for those who like to upturn moral rocks to look at all the cool bugs, it's uniquely fascinating. Not a ringing endorsement? It's not really intended to be one. But if you're looking for a new experience, give in to your morbid curiosity and grant it a spot on your wishlist.

found it unintuitive and very boring, love the art between gameplay segments though. Also broken on linux :/

I mean, it's like most people say. Amazing concept, super unique, great story too. Great music, although it's a little bit *too* similar to the music in Dredge, to the point I kept getting distracted by thinking "Wait is this just the music from Dredge?"; the composer is great but I feel like he repeated himself a bit here. Gameplay, however, is just not enjoyable. It's repetitive, boring, not particularly immersive. As well, the game really lacks a lot of polish. Like, the menus, subtitles, buttons, etc. are all in some bad default sans-serif typeface. Calibri or Arial or something. Literally even just a font change would have done a *lot* for the feel of the game. Icons and everything also just lack any real finish; the cutscenes are beautifully executed, but everything relating to the actual gameplay itself just looks cheap. Somebody in another review here said it feels like a "Newgrounds" game and, yeah, pretty accurate. In summary: amazing concept, great art and music, good voice acting and plot, mediocre gameplay, and very ♥♥♥♥♥♥ non-cutscene/non-"water the flower" (water the flower is such a great choice of phrasing BTW) visuals. I wouldn't even necessarily say I *dislike* this game. I think that the good points make up for the bad in a way. However, this review is whether or not I would *recommend* the game; and, well . . . I wouldn't. The art and plot might be good but at the end of the day this is a *video-game* so gameplay matters more than anything else in terms of whether or not I'd recommend somebody else play it—and that gameplay is just . . . very samey, bland, and repetitive. This could seriously be a top-tier game if the execution of the *game* parts of it wasn't so botched, sadly. I'd love to see more from the studio in future so long as the game design was better and the game visuals were substantially more polished, interesting, and immersive.

1/10 do random ♥♥♥♥ to find out info about a person abduct them and ♥♥♥♥ up their body based on things you know about them with a little quiz do they have brown hair crack rib 13 if not crush liver yeah im good, want nothing to do with this game

The mechanics are simple but definitely require you pay attention to important details. I appreciated that it was challenging, but not frustrating. I liked the stylized art and voice acting, story stayed engaging and I always appreciate multiple endings. Level select option makes it easy to go back and play through different parts of the story, including the ending. Definitely worth the price and endless mode is a nice touch.

Life Eater is a psychological horror game in which you stalk and kidnap your neighbors every year to save the Earth. Gameplay has an interesting concept, presented through a video editing interface where you stalk neighbors to find a suitable victim for the ritual. It can be confusing at first, but becomes clearer over time, though you will definitely make a lot of mistakes. The game has two endings, and after beating it you can start from any level + endless mode. The plot is told through cutscenes with nice animation and full voice acting. Overall, the game is decent, but the price feels high for its length, and sometimes can be quite challenging.
