About
Luto is a psychological horror experience where you take on the role of someone unable to leave their home. Every attempt to escape will lead you deeper into the unknown, where nothing is as it seems and everything will test your senses.
What lies behind loss: feel the void left by the absence of a loved one, where despair grows, fed by anxiety and depression. Day after day...
Between reality and fiction: delve into an enigmatic place and explore its labyrinthine paths full of secrets. The truth has many faces, and you might not like the one you find.
Will not let you go: experience unsettling terror that envelops your senses, with fears lurking around every corner. Darkness does not only dwell in shadows.
Never.

En memoria de los que amamos pero ya no se encuentran en este mismo plano terrenal... Que excelente juego!!!.
Very disappointed. The game looks great, but that's about it. The trailer was pretty misleading. The are next to no horror elements in the game, and the story felt flat to me. It seemed like the main character had no personality so it was hard to relate to him, and all the nudges at mental health felt very generic. I see a lot of very good reviews and I honestly can't see what I'm missing.
juego todo hermoso valio la pena cada peso, me dejo pensando un par de cosas, cosas del pasado y la verdad llore papus:v
More of a creepy walking sim, if you enjoy puzzles with a dabble of atmospheric horror you'll likely love this, good story too.
arte zum Selberspielen Luto ist ein sehr kurzweiliger (4h Spielzeit ca.) Trip durch die Depressionen eines Menschen, der Familienmitglieder verloren hat, sich ein Stück weit selbst die Schuld daran gibt und irgendwie im Haus seiner Erinnerungen festhängt. Ihr sorgt dafür, dass er seine mentalen Hürden bewältigt und entkommt. Die "Horror" sind stets als Gespenster-Formen (klassisch mit Laken drüber) zu sehen, die immer mal wieder auftauchen, sich ruckartig bewegen, fliehen - oder ihn sogar "angreifen". Kämpfe gibt's nicht. Dafür viel Walking Simulator Parts, wirkungsvolle gruselige Atmo und ein paar echt gute Ideen (wie mit den Tapes und spielbaren Videos). Als wir dann am Ende im Glitch-Universum angekommen sind, die vierte Wand zum Programmier-Design des Spiels durchbrechen, Assets, verworfene Animationen, Sound Tests usw. erleben, knallte der "arte"-Faktor hier voll rein. "Zu artsy". Da hätte die Handbremse gut geholfen. Außerdem war mir der immer wiederkehrende Wüstenpart zu Beginn zu langatmig, weil man ihn erst ab einer bestimmten Stelle lösen konnte - und sonst immer wieder "fade to black"-Momente abwarten musste bis man die eigentliche Story weiterspielen konnte. Und die Wüste kam IMMER als Erstes, wenn man das Spiel nach einem Break fortsetzte. Ansonsten gute Rätsel - manchmal zu gut und manchmal ist der nötige Weg zum nächsten Ziel unklar - und einmal hat das Spiel mich sogar am Voranschreiten gehindert, weil es einen nötigen Trigger nicht auslöste (neuladen hilft, aber ihr ahnt schon unter welchen Konditionen... WÜSTE WÜSTE WÜSTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). Ach - und ich mochte den Narrator. Hat mich teilweise an "The Stanley Parable" erinnert - mit dem Unterschied, dass man ihn hier nicht verärgern kann^^ Probiert's entspannt mal aus! (zum Zeitpunkt der Review ist's gerade bei Epic for free)
Solid Horror game, solid atmosphere, solid puzzles.
Максимально дивні враження від цієї гри, вона наче зроблена цікаво, та добре, але сам сюжет та його подача максимально нудна і не зрозуміла. Також вона абсолютно не страшна.... Так що не дуже то і рекомендую!
One of the best horror puzzle experiences out there. Definitely NOT a walking sim.
Top Toppp. No puede estar hecho con más mimo este juego. La música sin duda lo que más me ha gustado con una ambientación que te mete desde el primer momento la tensión en el cuerpo. Gráficos detallistas y una historia trambólica que te hace volar de la arbolada. Habré jugado a más de 100 juegos de terror y este está en mi top 3. Enhorabuena equipo....a seguir así.
I think the reason horror movies, literature and especially games appeal to people is to allow you to experience terrible, fearful or otherwise confronting things, but in a safe, controlled environment. Or to put it more succinctly, people just want to [i]feel something[/i], you know? At the very least, this is a big part of the draw for me - so it’s always fascinating to me when I play a horror title that isn’t remotely [i]scary[/i], but I still come away loving it. To be direct, Luto is not a scary game. But, Luto is raw, an exposed nerve, someone’s entire heart, grief, and trauma on display to be prodded at and dissected, their burden to bear, a thoughtful exercise in mental health. It is true psychological horror, and I have thought about it every day since I first finished it. In that way, it is still a raging success in my eyes. This is also largely due to the presentation on display here, which is frankly incredible. The house this story takes place in is damn near photorealistic, and the audio design is fantastic to boot; Even after realizing that I was never really ‘in danger’ (it isn’t that kind of game), I never once felt comfortable, owing to the atmosphere that this lends itself to. Without going into specifics for fear of spoilers, there are basically two stories being told here. There’s the surface-level one, and there’s… another one that needs to be very deliberately sought out. Both had me floored. This resulted in me playing through Luto [i]three times[/i], basically in a row, which is a feat that very few games have ever, or will ever, accomplish from me. Aside from my glowing recommendation, I would strongly suggest watching the trailer to see if this is for you. It somehow manages to convey everything the game is about, whilst spoiling absolutely nothing. If you like what you see, give this game a try. It is absolutely worth four(ish) hours of your time.
