Sterling Shroud

Pros: - Cheap for a 1-3 hour puzzle (depending how you do with spacial reasoning puzzles) - The sound effects are decent, not just "distorted tiger roar.wav" asset flipping - The spacial reasoning puzzles are something I can see myself or a GM using for a table-top experience - Not so hard/unfair/utilizing moon-logic for puzzle solutions I didn't needed to consult a walk-through - The minimalism adds to the atmosphere - For a small game this one was pretty decent. 7/10 for the minimalism to rely on imagination to scare the player more than monster design and ham-fisted writing Cons: - Repetitive monster jump-scare noise if you have your headphones on and you're crossing/recrossing through the map multiple times - If you have bad spacial awareness you will likely need to draw your own map to find all of the areas - The graphics aren't much to write home about but they have a retro charm. The artificial glare could have been toned down some.

Genuinely creepy little horror game. The minimalist art style really adds to the character and the core mechanic of navigating around the forest using your map and coordinates is really cool. There are at least 2 endings to enjoy with one of them leading to one of the most disturbing and unsettling moments I've had with a game in a while. It's nothing graphic or shocking just really creeped me out and I loved it! Definitely recommend. Full playthrough was about an hour.

Um jogo curto de terror onde vc precisa escapar de uma floresta que não quer deixar vc ir embora... Bem feito, mas pela duração do jogo, compre o mesmo em alguma promoção.

An interesting little game. A good short horror experience. I like the atmosphere and gameplay though some of the story telling elements aren't the best. A good game and I did like it well enough.

Fantastically short and sweet can be frustrating at times but that is what patience is for

Very fun game for the price!. Works great on Steam deck. If you like old school point-and-click adventures you would like this.
