Steam review snapshots
It achieves that through its well-done retro-style 4-color pixel art, spine-chilling music, and an unusual story-telling method.The game is cheap and is there for anyone willing to give it a shot to explore and find out, and that…The game doesn't have controller support, and even the developer wrote that into the store page.I'll openly admit that by the end of the game, I was emotional.Why it fits
Check it if you want action, adventure filtered by dark, tense, psychological horror.
