It's a weird game that combines maze-labyrinth gameplay with a disturbing blend of horror and cryptic messages. The game lets you chat with NPCs and inspect them, touch them, and even kill them. I killed so many times by accident due to how jumpy the controls are along with the tension of the world, every corner is dark, and grotesque enemies can jump you at any time, making for an immersive experience.

The developer has a unique artistic vision, every level is horrifying and surreal, almost like a weird nightmare and the world has a lot of lore to discover that barely makes sense on its own but piecing it together gives some hints to what is going on. A nice "afternoon game" as you can beat it in 3-4 hours with extras.

✔️The unique artistic vision that captivates the player's attention with its design.
✔️Playable teaser of the sequel at the end of the game, showing what the next Psychopomp looks like and introducing the new protagonist.
✔️Open design in levels, talk to NPC, or kill them, is up to you.

❌Some levels are annoyingly long, particularly levels 4 and 6.
❌Some bugs make the enemies take no damage or the hitbox won't work, making it impossible to kill and making you die to them.

Overall,m Psychopomp GOLD is a game that you can get and have a "one of a kind" experience with. It is unsettling and the atmosphere is apprehensive, so if you get stressed about dark games and enemies going UGGA BUGGA out of nowhere, skip it. However, if you are into that stuff, go ahead and get the game. It's pretty impressive for what it is.

Real-world tip: In 1862, the King of Siam offered Abraham Lincoln many elephants because a “Country as great as the United States should not be without elephants.” Lincoln politely declined.
