Nix Umbra

Yo desde la lobotomia

It's not worth the price. I recommend getting it on sale if you're looking for a highscore based horror experience.

Obviously there are people out there that may enjoy this but I didn't enjoy anything about it. It takes too long to find crystals and isn't fun in the mean time.

Simple, innovative and spooky. You need to survive as long as you can in a pitch black world with very limited vision. You will die. A lot. And you need to as well, it is the only way to understand what you are up against. The unknown has always been scary, horrifying even and Nix Umbra uses that primal fear very well with black & white graphics and excellent sound design. After dying to everything at least once, the game starts to make itself more clear, you start feel more in control. And that feeling is pretty fun, as if you are conquering the void through... knowledge and experience alone. No complex weapons, no complex items, just darkness that is difficult to understand but not impossible.

A lovely first-person fantasy survival with roguelike mechanics but the sun wants to kill you. When you're not straining to see more than the eldritch horrors lurking at the edge of your vision, it's probably because you bumped into a tree and set it on fire. Nice going. You also rely heavily on spatial sound to navigate the darkness and avoid certain death. I must say, the sound design is quite well done. Really makes you feel like a schizophrenic man with a knife running through the woods 11/10 There are little moments of beauty among the chaos too. Frog is good. This is the kind of game you should figure out for yourself because it sure as heck ain't gonna tell you. If you're looking for a unique experience that draws its horror from fear of the unknown and its replayability from cryptic allure and unlockable color schemes, it might be for you.

This has to be one of the most bizarre games I've ever played, but it's so so fun. You'll run around with no clue of who you are or what is going on and you'll see trees light on fire and mushrooms and flying skulls and birds and all sorts of weird stuff, but as long as you know the basic mechanics of the game and continue to play, you'll learn new secrets about the game with each run. It's very very trippy and a very unique horror game.
