    To the credit of the graphic, it gives that vibe of dark-european-puppet-fantasy movies from the 80s.

    Bit of a correction: Its inspired by NORDIC folklore. They do seem to be using alot of Swedish letters but they have taken a general mix of features from both Norway, Sweden and I think Denmark

    I love games that pull from folklore - I wish more games did, there's a lot to dig into! I also find it amusing that Japanese folklore is usually the bat-shit standard but some western cultures have some absolutely insane stuff knocking around, it's absolutely fascinating stuff to read. Thanks Will.

    This was an interesting game as I did enjoy and agree the darker elements were more disturbing than scary it was fun in some areas though once I put it down I didn't pick it back up which is a problem.

    I don't mind a game that's not too long (as long as it's not too pricey), and I prefer not to be too scared. So this might suit me quite well - it looks different and interesting enough

    • @fungusmoon
      @fungusmoon Год назад +7

      Just keep in mind that while it’s not super *scary* per se (in terms of jump-scares or big scary monsters) it’s very disturbing in terms of the themes and some of the things it portrays - take heed of the warning at the beginning if you do decide to play it!

    Where in the game synopsis does it say this is a horror game that is meant to terrify? It is described as "grim" and "twisted". I don't know how you made the leap to horror and expected such.

    Generally good review, but honestly I can't understand how anyone can say that the monster design in this game wasn't scary. You can't tell me that Näcken, or the Swamp monster (with the unpronounceable name), or Petra, or even the regular ass trolls weren't completely terrifying

    Tbh this looks like a perfect case of graphics actually mattering. Most of the time gameplay is king but this looks like it could be better overall experience with better models. I plan on playing anyway but I honestly was considering the download because of the jank models. One of those first impressions things
