That Which Gave Chase

This is much more a story you take part in than it is a game. You play it for the atmosphare and it has a lot of it. If you are looking for engaging gameplay, this is not the right adress for you. The story may leave you a little confused but thats right where it wants you to be. I very much had a mountains of madness feeling from this game. So if you enjoy Lovecraft wait for the night, turn off your lights, boot up the game and enjoy!

Has Paratopic and Cryostasis vibes, so if you like those games you will probably like this one. Controlling the sled is really fun, go pet the dogs RIGHT NOW

I thought sticking it out would be a good move to learn the story, but even after completion it is an empty game with no gameplay to it in the longrun. Practically plays itself with how the sled movement works, everything is awfully paced with tons of random time skips with no transitions whatsoever (surprise, it's night in the middle of a conversation, again), there is practically no actual gameplay to it at all- calling this game a horror game, even psychological horror, is just wrong. You stand on a sled for an hour, see caribou act weird, then shoot a guy after seeing someone who is dead. Real shocker, shivering my timbers right now.

Probably one of my favorite indie horror games ever, hard to compare to others. Very cinematic, slow-burn horror. It's a subtle and well thought out piece of media, so original and well written. This type of horror I've seen executed so well few times. It's one that you have to experience yourself. I'd put it up there with other games such as Mouthwashing, in the way it's storytelling is very original, but like mentioned, very hard to compare to others, and to be clear this game's very short but I found myself playing it multiple times to try different things and get 100% achievements. This is a gem you must play if you're into indie horror.

To be played while on mushrooms

runs great on my machine

Beyond the PSX-style visuals and a rather well-executed atmosphere, I personally found the game incredibly uninteresting (controls, gameplay, and story). It’s just not my thing, I guess. But at least you can pet all the dogs!

Phenomenal atmospheric horror experience. I am genuinely impressed.

Maybe the real chase was the mushrooms we ate along the way.
