I definitely prefer the driving physics of Canyon to Stadium. Most satisfying drifting in a racing game this side of Ridge Racer.

EDIT: This is totally playable on Deck, no extra work necessary. No idea why it's marked Unsupported.

Full disclosure: I am friends with several of the people who made this game.

HOWEVER! I have genuinely enjoyed my time with the game, and I think this is an incredibly impressive game from first-time developers. There is more complexity to the narrative than you might realize on your first "run," and I had a great time poking at the game to see where and how it would react. Does it take everything into account? No. But I think within the handful of hours it takes to play through a few times, you will come away impressed with what they have achieved here.

I would also like to point out to anyone interested but normally averse to horror games: it's definitely more "spooky" than scary. It is not a FNaF game, despite some surface-level similarities.

Also, some really choice fake brand packaging. It's BERF or buthin'

This is basically Super Chips Challenge Turbo Hyper Puzzling. Real-time but grid-based movement, plus pretty much every mechanic from every single Sokobon style game.

Consider a neutral review, leaning positive.

I've played many of the Cube Escape/Rusty Lake games, and consider myself a fan of the series. The co-op conceit here is very clever, especially taking into account that there is no connection between the two game clients. However, I think it may have been too limiting on puzzle design, as the puzzles got repetitive by the end. It felt like playing an early Cube Escape or The Room game (depending on the chapter) that gets interrupted by a round of Keep Talking or Nobody Explodes or Spaceteam.

For me, the most successful element of the game is how the Rusty Lake style was translated into 3D, even if it's just a taste. I hope they explore that dimension (ha) more in future Rusty Lake games.

My playtime as of this review is a full runthrough of the game. I played in The Past. I will probably replay it to check out The Future/play with my partner now that I know The Past isn't too spooky for her.

Altogether, it's not a bad way to spend a spooky fall evening with a friend or loved one for a few bucks. I just wouldn't expect anything so mind-blowing as some of the reviews I've seen have said.

Heli Attack 2 by way of Vampire Survivors. If that means anything to you, it's worth your dollar. If it doesn't... it's still probably worth your dollar.

This game is free

probably the best $3 you can spend on steam right now

Best walking sim I've ever played. I can't wait to check out the sequels and I'm so mad at myself for sleeping on these games for so long.

I think this is genuinely the most relaxing game I've ever played.

honestly? my favorite arpg
