This game is FANTASTIC! If you are a fan of the La-Mulana games, then you're in for a real treat. I've been waiting for any news of Naramura's / Nigoro's next game and, until then, we've got this absolute unit. I can't believe it's free! I was expecting it to be less polished, but no, it is very nice. Looks nice. Feels nice. It's definitely scratching that temple of doom itch. Plus, PLUS, it also contains creatures from Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos.
I'm shocked and very happy. I am currently only 3 hours in, but I can't imagine anything making me not recommend it, since I'm a huge La-Mulana 1+2 fan.
If you've never played La-Mulana: this is not your typical metroidvania. It is a game filled with riddles and secrets, requiring you to think and take notes (though the in-game journal is a very nice feature for keeping track of everything) and there is some very precise and difficult retro-style platforming and combat as well. If you enjoy exploration and puzzles, and the idea of entering a dark temple filled with deadly traps, snap it up and give it a go. It's great!
