MOTHERED - A ROLE-PLAYING HORROR GAME

⭐[b]My score: 9/10 TL;DR: a short but deeply unsettling slow-burn experience—light on gameplay, heavy on atmosphere and storytelling. 🟦NOTE: This is the most standalone-friendly entry in the trilogy, but the story becomes much richer if you play it back-to-back with "The Enigma Machine" and "[ECHOSTASIS]".[/b] [h2]Overview[/h2] This is my favorite chapter in the whole trilogy. There’s not much I can say beyond what you see in the trailers without going into spoiler territory, so just take my word for it: it’s good, really good. Unsettling, but not exactly “horror” per se (there’s only one jumpscare)—it’s more of a slow-burning, uncomfortable feeling that lingers and steadily grows over time. The game is little more than a story-driven walking sim with a few interactions, but don’t be fooled—you’ll find yourself way more invested than you’d expect. [h2]Key Points[/h2] [*][h3]DIFFICULTY:[/h3] Some of the few puzzles are a bit obtuse, but you’ll manage. No combat or time limits. [*][h3]PRESENTATION:[/h3] Gorgeous, liminal, surreal ’90s VHS aesthetic. I swear most of my childhood memories look exactly like this (yeah… don’t ask). [*][h3]STORY:[/h3] A heavily story-driven experience—and thankfully, the story keeps you hooked from start to finish. [*][h3]GAMEPLAY/GAMEPLAY LOOP:[/h3] First-person walking sim with light puzzle elements and story-driven progression. [*][h3]TECHNICAL POLISH:[/h3] I didn’t encounter any [unintended] glitches or bugs. [*][h3]MONEYxCONTENT VALUE:[/h3] $8+ is a bit pricey for what is, admittedly, a very short game (under 3 hours for all achievements). Wait for a discount, but you’ll get the most value from the full ENIGMA Trilogy bundle. ➡️https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/41914/THE_ENIGMA_TRILOGY/

its very good. i dont really know what else to say about it. the secrets all feel very rewarding and finding them is pretty fun. one of the better horror games in recent memory.

I wouldn't recommend the game because it is pretty annoying to play through it. I hate the apples part so much because my vision is not good so it took me over 30 minutes to find them on my own, on 2nd playthrough in attempt to get another ending apparently setting down basket of apples takes whole afternoon and is evening by the time you are done placing done a basket of apples which is one of the dumbest things that happened in this game because obviously putting down a basket of apples does not take a whole afternoon, it takes 1 second and this forced me to re-play again which was completely unnecessary.. The repetition is very annoying as well, I wouldn't recommend this for anyone unless they were hunting for achievements. This game is really annoying to play and sometimes I don't even know what I am supposed to do when there are no objectives shown in the game, I'm just supposed to know what to do I guess. This game quickly turns from horror into rage game and repetitive game and is not something I'd recommend.

Más malo que tener diarrea con tos, lo único que tiene de bueno es la ambientación.

nice atmosphere

Excellent story-driven horror game. Never played anything like it.

母亲，你能再陪我看一次日落吗？

amateurish and obtuse. i ran all around the house, and all around the outside having no idea what to do. i turn on a lets play for the same day, and see the poor guy run around humping every single bit that could be humped just like me. and the best part - its all freaking like that. good luck knowing to click the sun. also ending is unsatisfying as hell.

ich bin open minded, aber ich will gar nicht erst versuchen zu erklären, warum ich das nicht weiter empfehle. positives: Sound Design, Musik, Story ist ok und es gab teilweise stellen die ganz "mind blowing" waren (aha Momente).
