Navicula Meatus

Had a lot of fun with this one! There's a fun progression from "i literally do not know what the controls are" to "I now do not know where my goal is" to "understood, i can navigate meat-town as if it is my own backyard". I found two late-game puzzles quite obtuse (and admittedly had to use hints!), but for the most part the learning feels natural and compelling, enough to make me gladly hunt down all of the achievements. The art is delightfully weird, a little gross, and very unique. If you're in the mood for a short but compelling little adventure game and you don't mind being confused for a while, check this one out! PS: navicula meatus

If you can't beat this game, you didn't try hard enough or lack pretty basic intelligence. If you didn't have the resolve to beat it, you are genuinely cheating yourself, and you owe it to yourself to use the extremely helpful hints that the creator has made to accompany it to figure it out for yourself one way or another. Navicula Meatus is extremely personal in way that is completely relatable, but at the same time, it feels like spying on someone else's nightmare, so you can never truly understand the trauma and the memories it is rooted in. It is Lynchian in a way I don't really think you're ever meant to truly understand, but again, infinitely understandable. It has some of the best presentation I have ever seen in a game, let alone something made by basically one person. The audio, the visuals, the characters, it is shocking, disgusting, awe inspiring. This is really something special and more people need to play it.

would be a perfect puzzle game if not for the possibility of softlocking yourself

unbelievably amazing game with a truly unique approach to exploration and a haunting visual style that will stick with you long after playing. look. i guess i should be up front. i study language. i'm like a younger, hotter, but dumber version of that codetalker parasite guy from MGSV, okay? i Love learning about our throats, our ears, our lungs, our tongues... and Navicula Meatus is like the class in university i never got to sign up for. i'm truly thankful for this game. this was an absolute joyride for me, getting immersed in a totally new world at a time where the world around us seems more alien than the ones we choose to create and share with one another. this is an expression of all those moments you missed as a kid, like learning to walk orrrr riding a bike orrr saying goodbye to your mom before the first day of school. it's hard to find something totally new to get scared but excited about trying these days. if there is one thing, one experience you should give yourself this year, it should be Navicula Meatus. who knows, you could fall asleep for the last time and wake up as a crab the next day... wouldn't you like to be prepared for what's next? it can be a bit of a puzzle, i managed to solve it in about 3 to 4 hours. don't worry about winning. if you like exploring foreign lands, alien surroundings in language and music and all, get this asap. just take it in. come on, you're a crab inside a giant eardrum, mingling with otherworldly earwaxen dustbunnies. i don't know why you thought this was a game that could be won. just vibe man, you'll figure it out.

Jogabilidade surrealista é bastante interessante porém não é para todos, os controles e menus são extremamente minimalistas e em 2026 um jogo em que não é possível salvar seu progresso, tendo que jogar em uma única sessão direta, não parece razoável :-/. Apesar disso a arte surrealista sombria ESPETACULAR faz valer a pena sem dúvida a experiência.
