TEOCIDA

provavelmente o melhor jogo brasileiro que já joguei. ainda to preso no ultimo enigma, mas além da gameplay divertida e que força a pensar, as questões filosóficas e os visuais do jogo se completam, trazendo algo muito grotescamente bonito. ja recomendei pra todo mundo que conheço e vou recomendar aqui também. algumas das frases desse jogo são mantras pra mim.

I ♥♥♥♥ myself

Very good game, better than the previous one because it alternates puzzle-platforming with precision platforming, which makes the levels more engaging. I'm not a big fan of all the post-game puzzles though. Too cryptic and not rewarding.

Easily one of the best, most intricate, most lovingly created game I've ever played. So fun to try to decipher all the secrets. PLEASSSEEE play this game and also do it semi blind if you can.

This kind of serves as a recommendation for all three of Vikintor's current games. I think they're all very underappreciated and I love them a lot, mostly because they fit my personal tastes very well. Tamashii is a true gem in creepy platformers and Teocida is basically more of the same. It's mostly very solid and fun puzzle and precision platforming with an incredible horror aesthetic. The visuals and sound design create an amazing atmosphere and the games don't shy away from interrupting gameplay to just creep you out in fun and creative ways. It always feels like you're uncovering something you're not supposed to, which makes solving all of the puzzles and secrets engaging and rewarding. Don't feel bad for looking up a guide though, because especially some of the deeper puzzles can be quite difficult to figure out on your own because they also incorporate some ARG elements. The writing is similarly cryptic and abstract, throwing a lot of mystical and philosophical concepts at you but it's easy enough to figure out the basics of what's going on with lots of room for deeper interpretations. It has a good length as well where it feels quick and bite-sized but has enough secrets and things to discover that it still feels rich and satisfying. My biggest criticism is probably that the bosses end a bit too anticlimactically but that wasn't too big of an issue for me personally. I definitely hugely recommend playing Tamashii and if you like it, you will definitely not be disappointed by Teocida and Estigma (which is basically a free bonus game that also serves as a bit of a teaser for Teocida).

Teocida is a unique experience. It is a puzzle platformer packed in disturbing graphics filled with s*x obsessed deformed demons and not-so-subtle phallic references and flashing jumpscares and depictions of gore. And if I say that it is disturbing art, I mean it but it is so beautifully crafted in that aspect if you are into that. You should check if you are into that before buying though. The convoluted puzzles are the key gameplay highlight of the game, with so many unexpected twists and turns. I can completely see how large parts of the player base never finished some of these (or would have never without a guide). That's what makes these so satisfying to solve for your self, but their is no weakness in using a guide sometimes, especially in the latest parts of the game where you have to use some pretty meta stuff sometimes. Platforming elements are there, but mostly only in aid to the puzzles. I terms or nightmare fuel, it's one of the best I ever played. Try it if the aesthetics appeal to you, it is not too long.

A estética e os visuais são lindos, porém as boss fights deixam a desejar, são repetitivas, fiquei entediada com a luta do Patriarca. Se você gosta da estética gótica, gore e erótica eu recomendo que jogue :3

Teocida is fair puzzle-platformer for people who don't care for high precision or speedy, perfection type platformers. The art direction and atmosphere are consistently great. Good esoteric, meat-machine vibes; it never felt "scary" per-se, but it was always a little unsettling or captivatingly unnatural, which I liked a lot. The plot is a bit hard to follow and carries on from previous titles, but wasn't necessary to know or understand for me to enjoy the gameplay. There's plenty of secrets and missable things scattered through the levels. I'd recommend this for people who can handle a fairly forgiving platformer, and like solving puzzles that require forward planning, breaking codes and (optional) ARG elements.

10/10 Will trip again

Felt a bit easier than the first and the key puzzles were kind of annoying at times but its definitely a worth sequel
