разраб красавец, после первого уровня текстуры без уровня, 10 из 10 сперматозойдов
fantastic benthic precision platformer/sidescroller puzzle-game. Akin to Silt. Definitely one of the best free-offerings one will find on Steam. hard recommend. unfortunately, i suck at precision platformers nor do i have patience for puzzles...and thus i wasn't able to enjoy this game as much as others certainly will.

This game seems like it could be incredibly fun, but unfortunately I don't want to spend time in a game that resets audio settings every time you hit play AND doesn't allow you to change settings WHILE playing, only from the main menu. I would hit Apply several times after I realised the first one didn't work, but that didn't fix the issue and kept resetting to max volume every time I got back into the game. I did have fun with the little bit I played though.
BADLAND но под водой. бесплатная короткая игра погружающая вас в атмосферу безысходности низа пищевой цепи. Управление своеобразное, иногда трудно контролировать существо. Игре иногда по ощущениям не хватает сохранений и местами неправильно отображенные масляные пятна. И как по мне последний уровень сильно выбивается из общей атмосферы игры. Но в общем игра нормальная, и проходится за вечер.
Game recomended to be played by a controller, but the movement key didn't worked with my XBOX controller, only with mouse and keyboard. Kind of frustrating game. Better to watch the ending on Youtube.
I tried my best to enjoy this game, as it looked super cool, and i love biomechanical designs, but sadly the game had too many glitches to be enjoyable. Often times the flashing red effects would not span the whole screen, and the window would change size. Certain Sprites had a rectangle surrounding them, breaking immersion, and I quickly was trapped in an empty void with only background screen effects. Many attack effects bugged, and it appeared certain elements were different resolutions, making for an unappealing look. Its a wonderful context but its bugs hold it back from being a game I would recommend to anyone.
Sinew - короткая, но атмосферная штука, которая цепляет именно своим напряжением и давящей средой. Играть за странное биосущество в темных глубинах реально необычно, и иногда прям пробирает, когда не понимаешь, что ждёт дальше. Проект небольшой, но если хочется чего-то мрачного и нестандартного - зайдёт.
The game itself isn't bad, but it's too trial and error, when you lose it doesn't save your recent progress and you have to start over. it wouldn't be a problem in itself but since the game is slow it's a bit tiring. I stopped playing after 20 minutes, but I'm leaving the positive vote just for encouragement
Sinew это хорошая, бесплатная игра с шикарной атмосферой, отличным звуком и особо не сложными пазлами.
