About
PsiloSybil is a classic linear 3D platformer with a faithful mid-90s look and brutal difficulty. You must guide plucky mushroom Sybil across a colourful world of devilish traps and defeat the evil master of all hogs, Lord Nutmeg, to set free all of shroom-kind. In each of PsiloSybil's handcrafted levels, alternating different playstyles and aesthetics, you'll meet a unique mushroom character held captive by Nutmeg's boar minions. Freeing them is not going to be easy!
The game also provides time trial challenges, and an optional arcade mode which reintroduces lives and removes collectables. It is also perfectly deterministic and employs no RNG, which makes it perfect for speedrunning.
PsiloSybil strives to reconstruct the classic look of PS1 titles. Not only are the world, characters, and objects modeled and textured with the limitations and visual trends of the time in mind: a full suite of visual effects ranging from vertex snapping to an emulation of composite analog video enhances the experience. All of this is customisable and you have detailed control over each component.
It may be an homage to a certain marsupial game.

Psilosybil features a boastful design that declares its victory over the player. What could be a delightful throwback (with top knotch visuals and a surprisingly good soundtrack) is instead likely to be one of the hardest games you'll ever play. Not content with its difficulty, it sneers at you from atop its mountain and laughs at your attempts to circumvent its design. As intensely stylish and creative as it is, Psilosybil's design choices are so unbelievably abrasive that I'm going to do something I have never done before: give a game a thumbs down just because I can.
When is a game "too hard"? I'd say never, if you have the right concept of what "hard" means. This game is never unfair. There are no kaizo blocks or things that demand absurd reaction times, just patterns to learn and relatively precise jumps to master. People have no empathy for those of us who have played so many games that normal difficulty becomes boring. They expect to be able to beat everything they buy, so they end up saying they don't recommend a game like this simply because it's too hard for them, even though it offers a free demo so you can gauge the difficulty beforehand and it openly advertises itself as brutal. I think anyone can get value out of this game. Even if you don't finish it, you should be able to make at least a little progress without an unreasonable amount of effort. The presentation is excellent too. At first glance you could mistakenly think it borrows too much from Crash Bandicoot, but it actually has its own identity and is tasteful with its inspirations. It's also nice to see mechanics be brought to their logical conclusions instead of immediately being abandoned in favor of more variety, like many modern platformers tend to do.

Why did the mushroom go to the party? Because he wanted a piece of that PsiloSybil. Recommended for fans of shrooms. 3 psilocybins out of 5
I really don't wanna hate this game because it's really good but the difficulty here is just unbearable, I've had a more fun time beating dev times in Crash 3, I've had more fun perfecting all my platinums in N sane trilogy and in both of those case that was hours and hours of resettings a single level until it went just right, Psoilosybil asks you that kind of rigor, just for a regular level completion, nevermind all collectible and relics I'm still gonna recommend it because it's well made, and I had fun but objectively the difficulty level here is way too much for 99% of people.
played an older version a few years ago, came back for the full release. a lot of tough as nails levels that even crash 1 fans would rage at lol. would not recommend for everybody, particularly those with anger issues, but it will test you reaction time and pattern recognition. that being said I'm more of a Crash 2 guy...
Comecei a jogar esperando um bom jogo de plataforma inspirado em Crash Bandicoot, mas me deparei com o "Kaizo Crash" O jogo é bem feito, e cativa por ter o design poligonal característico de jogos de PS1, porém é extremamente difícil e feito pra você conseguir passar apenas se fizer o movimento certo, no momento certo, e no pixel certo Para quem quer um desafio extremo, este é o seu jogo Mas dizer que posso recomendar para outros jogadores eu não posso, pois é um jogo difícil ao ponto de ser injusto com o jogador
Psilosybil is very reminiscent of the original crash bandicoot, except the difficulty here makes Crash 1 look like a walk in the park. However I think there is charm in it's difficulty. There really weren't many moments where I died and thought "this was the games fault". The global cycle on every obstacle is made so that you can realistically take as long as you want on a jump and as long as you time it right, you'll make it. The game has time trials for every level (bosses included!), and an arcade mode that starts you from the beginning and getting a game over means resetting. Both offer ample challenge to an already challenging game, really pushing the players skill to their limit should they want to take it. However even if you ignore both of those things and just play through the game while also ignoring the collectables and such, I think you'll still find yourself enjoying your time as long as you enjoy a good challenge.
An excruciating battle from start to finish. Every part of this game was made to kill you in some way. Just beating the game was harder than any Crash Bandicoot game ever. That isn't even beginning to consider the torture of getting all of the collectibles. I got two thirds of the mushrooms and gold skulls, but gave up because some levels were just too much. If you are a fan of difficult platformers, then I highly recommend Psilosybil. But do not worry about 100%, it will drive you insane. However I will say that despite the fact that many levels took over an hour just to get the time trial, it was very fun and the rush was almost incomparable.
