Shadow of Pharos

This is a tough one, not going to lie. So i grabbed this game while looking for a few short spooky games, didnt expect it to be anything but an indie game that i was going to play once and then forget. Have to admit it, i was wrong. I came back a few times, when i went through my first run through, i felt like there just had to be more. So i gave it a day and came back to give it another try. Started paying attention to the notes, collected a couple others i missed before, and then realized there was a weird object that didnt quite fit on the top of the basement shelf. This got my brain working, went through a few more circle runs of the game and finally figured it all out. Have to say it was well worth the thinking. Rarely do i recommend a short indie game, but this one i definitely do. Rae Serbeck officially on my way to reviewing lots and lots of games.

Jogo Curto, demorei "Só" 3 horas, bem complicado mesmo, pensei que não teria fim -.-

Game just keeps repeating itself with little to no guidance. There is no need to repeat so many times.

It scratches that P.T itch just right.

Very creepy and unsettling, the atmosphere constantly changing to suit the game was cool.

Or two. Or four. I may just be giving the [i]prospect[/i] of a good time the benefit of the doubt, here. I love a good puzzle and figuring out vague hints and all, but the mystery and mystique of this game seems a bit out of left field. The only other saving grace for my recommendation is its lack of price.
