The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu

I give it thumb up for the very quick problem solving. Though there are many things to improve, the developers are fixing issues and actually listen to the comunity requests.

Great co-op game!

very good

So far I love this game, but I seem to get quite a few game crashes when interacting with some objects.

this game gave me schizophrenia and i still cant tell if its in game or not.

One of my favorite games. Very creepy and tense, lots of laughs and yelling trying to figure out what is real and not. 100% recommend, one friend on Linux had problems and couldn't play, the other didn't and the rest of us on Windows if anything just needed to adjust the settings for smoother play. Exactly what I expected and hoped for!

While I do recommend this game and I find it very cool, it does strongly need a hefty amount of QOL improvements. Pros Incredibly cool atmosphere Monster design is top notch Definitely unique and full of character The maps are very pretty and really fun to explore Very little in terms of crashes or long load times (for me at least) Fun to play with friends The hallucinations actually trick you sometimes Cons Melee combat is very crusty, while I am glad they added a block it could use something else like maybe a side dodge or something Ranged combat is a mixed bag because its so hard to actually hit anything Armored enemies are the most annoying thing in the whole game to fight and its probably better to just shoot him with a gun and awake the forest Very little in terms of a tutorial, could use a little better explanations of things (not necessarily everything because figuring things out is a fun part of the game) How missions work isn't very well explained Constant falling through the map, especially in the very buggy climb up points Enemies hit extremely hard for how bad melee combat feels The prologue is like 2 minutes long and could use a little more to introduce you to the game There is really no point in sending the cart back because it causes enemies to fight you and constantly makes the cart run away so if you need something out of it you are screwed Push to talk does not work for me Some items feel kind of useless, the frogs for example Lack of any sort of customization besides knives without purchasing dlcs Overall this game is a neat experience and very worth your time if the main ideas interest you. Hopefully the devs will address some of these issues as time goes on because the main issues I have is the main gameplay feels a bit janky. Theres not really another game like it and I think if the devs continue their work it could be an incredible one.

Pros and cons in both measures Pros: Engaging world with storylines, concepts and mechanics Excellent graphics, imagery and effects including the madness grain and such Terrifying atmosphere with fun and unique concepts for gameplay Passable and skilled combat Madness and hallucination systems are new and exciting Cons: Sometimes buggy, chests or items might not be interactable Climbing points sometimes dont work or will phase you into the ground Enemies spawning at your feet is really tough to celebrate when im being chased by a horde Hallucinations need to be fleshed out, some can be figured out pretty quickly Add more upgrades or abilities on the ship, feels pretty sparse My suggestions would be to make more hallucination mechanics, more upgrades to the ship and crew for stores and such, fix animation or interaction bugs and maybe more missions, with random generated paths and such. Otherwise this is a pretty solid experience around an 8 or 9/10!
