About

1987, American suburbs.
A typical small town. Houses, schools, stores… everything in place. But the people? Gone. No signs, no clues. Just silence.
In one untouched home, someone finds a TV still on. Next to it, an old Japanese console and a black cat lying motionless, watching. The cartridge inside has no label — just a name scratched in by hand: Purrrification.
A few weeks later, we receive that same cartridge by mail. No return address.
As we dig into the code, we realize something’s off.
Too old to be new. Too new to be from the '80s.
And then… that music. Those glitches. That feeling.
Someone made this game.
Someone else made sure we played it.

Purrrification blends 2D platforming with horror in a nostalgic, creative mix. Some levels require clever, out-of-the-box thinking, adding to its charm and making it more engaging.
this is not mario
This game was a lot of fun & it seemed to dedicate a lot of time to the cut scenes pointing toward some kind of narrative. However, upon completion, there was nothing. It seems the game itself was attempting to use AI between certain levels to try and separate itself from other games. Which in theory was very cool, but there was no ultimate pay off and or explanation. I would recommend simply for the interesting platforming aspects. Beyond that though, there isn't much else. If you're seeking a platforming horror game with a story line or things of that nature, this really isn't it. I'll still recommend it though.
Full disclosure before I start the review. The key for game was sent to me directly by the developer of this game even before it hit the store shelfs, which while I appreciate the action immensely, won't stop me from honestly reviewing this game. Lets start with that I liked, which sadly there isnt much there to like. This is a 2d platformer, so the controls must feel responsive and vaguely intuitive, which this game accomplishes nicely. The movement feels responsive, the jumping doesnt feel floaty, and the character goes where I direct it to. Now to the bad things. Which there are a lot. Starting from the horror factor. This is supposed to be a "lost media" type of game where the cartridge for it was found in some dumpster or something. This is never mentioned in the game and the only idea i have of it is taken from the store page. The game tries to be creepy by implying a random set of effects that occur at predetermined sections of the level that are generated randomly on entry. This leads to multiple scares that dont do anything, feel extremely out of place and in general just feel annoying. I especially disliked the random scares that would boot me out of the level, the slow downs of the game, full zoom outs. This isnt scary, this is annoying and obstructs the gameplay. You can interpret this as the game being hostile to the player which is later elaborated on, but I'll get into why I dont believe that's the case below. There is plot, but the plot itself is done through AI generated videos, even thought the store page claims there to be none, which I consider false advertising. So while I'm of an opinion that you can do something coherent with AI given enough time. In this game it is not the case. The plot is nonsensical, goes nowhere and has no connections to whats happening on the screen during gameplay. The gameplay is a very barebones platformer, while i dont have any issues with that in particular. The thing bothering me is how that gameplay is done and the "hostile" nature is an indicator of the devs poor choices in the development cycle. At some point the game starts throwing "die here" type of puzzles, which you are supposed to die in to progress, while i wouldn't find this bad, if the game didnt have a lives system. And the game throwing straight up Kaizo mario romhack things such as "pick a random door and you have 25% chance of living" doesnt improve the situation. I would've been fine with this game, if it didnt cost money, and going off that, its not good. I hope the developer listens to the feedback and improves on their next game, and I will be excited on seeing more.

Scary Scuffed Games #419 https://twitch.tv/DitoMido Bisherige Reviews Archiv: https://rsg.ditomido.de/archive Vorgeschlagen von: drksmoo Purrrification sah im Trailer vielversprechender aus, als es letztendlich war. Es gibt sehr stark einen Pony Island Vibe ab aber nach mehreren Level erinnert es eher an ein "I Wanna be the Guy" mit super vielen AI generierten Bildern die wohl als Jumpscare fungieren sollen und AI Videosequenzen die eine kryptische Story erzählen. Dabei wird aber der Soundloop sehr schnell einfach nervtötend. Rating: Dito: 2/5 Chat: 2.17/5 Gesamt: 2.09/5
