From Steam reviews
Review notes
Tulpa is worth a closer look if you want strong atmosphere, controller friendly, replayable, and short game.
Best for players who want strong atmosphere, psychological themes, controller friendly, and replayable.
Check more carefully if you dislike unclear onboarding and technical roughness.
strong-atmosphere
ToneThe mood, place, and presentation carry a lot of the experience.
deckbuilding
Play styleCard choices, deck shape, and synergies matter.
controller-friendly
FitController, gamepad, or Steam Deck play comes up as a plus.
replayable
FitThe structure gives reasons to return rather than finish once.
confusing-onboarding
FrictionThe first hours can be unclear without patience or outside help.
short-game
PacingIt is better understood as a compact experience than a long hobby game.
psychological-themes
SettingPsychology, perception, or mental strain is an important theme without implying horror.
psychological-horror
SettingThe fear comes through pressure, perception, or psychological unease.
Steam review snapshots
The graphics are quite unique – each chapter (or world) we go through has a different colour and the accompanying atmospheric music…I left it running in the background to get the rest of them so my total playtime might be confusing – real…Very good concept and for the most part I like it, however I simply cannot forgive the absolutely terrible slow and unresponsive…It will probably (preferably) throw your mind in the same state a psychological thriller does, and the lack of textures will create…Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure filtered by single-player.
