One of the biggest surprises I've had streaming low cost indie games. A genuinely psychological horror with a depth and care far beyond it's low poly, clunky aesthetic. In many ways, the game almost tricks you into underestimating it. I would love if this patient, deep approach was more common in the genre. Ritual Static feels like it has some clear inspirations - it's hard not to think of Skinamarink, for example - but the unique voice and creativity throughout really carries it into something else.
WOW. This is a masterpiece. When I started, I stopped a moment, thinking, 'meh, i don't want to play a lofi jump scare factory. I was wrong. This is so much different. Beautiful.

Good quality indie game, it offered me around an hour and a half of experience of pure chills. If you want a game that is not only underrated but also doesn't rely on cheap jump scares, this game is for you. It provides a nice creepy environment but also provides lots of space for thought. My only criticism is the lack of ambience and the darkness was a little too much sometimes. But in the end for 2.49 this game is a steal.
I sent a photo of one of the characters to a friend and the response was "Who deepfried homelander?" Honestly tho the game was really nice. The story was very confusing, so I had fun theorizing while I was playing. Definitely a game you can't finish nor understand by playing once, which I LOVE. I'm really looking forward to more games like this. And for 3$ this was so worth it!
"Hey pal, you wanna hear a story? It's sad, but all good stories are, and this one's funny too..." I love horror games like this. Atmospheric, quiet, unsettling, but somehow also nostalgic. It feels like being trapped in a bad childhood memory.
quite fantastic. i didn't expect to enjoy this as much as i did for a random steam dive. skinamarink shifts in this game's veins like blood, with its static and its blues and its disappearing doors, but it does so in a way that is also separate from its inspirations. somber, melancholic, dark. i experienced a few small bugs, but none which took away drastically from exploring. i love games where the house is a character, and so i utterly adored this.
I wouldn't call myself an expert on horror games, but this game has captivated me with its incredibly, distinctly emotional psychological impact. It's not one that will make you jump, but one that draws you in and leaves a sour feeling in your gut. It feels less like a game and more like an emotional impression that digs into your mind and lingers like a tattoo.
Very pretty little game, surprisingly kind of... Cozy, in it's creepiness. Not that scary, more so unsettling and sad, but none the less... Cozy. Well worth the 3 bucks I payed for it.
