So, let's see how many keywords it takes before you tap out (I was
gone by the third one (-:
"Indie"
"Procedurally generated"
"Rogue-like"
"Survival-horror"
"Prop-hunt"
"Meat world"
"Dark comedy"
"Randomized weapons"
"Absolute nonsense"
"Jump scares"
"Two unique skins for $10 DLC"
This is purest Indie; a bunch of intriguing ideas thrown together into
a very poorly amalgamated lump. It's sophomoric humor that's based
more on shock-value than actually being funny, combined with clumsy
gameplay and wrapped in a visually unappealing package.
On the one hand, good on this game, because it is very experimental
and this is the sort of game we'd never see from the triple-A (or even
B-tier) publishers. On the other hand, it's also the sort of game I
have absolutely no interest in playing... or even adding to my
library.
add "Weird"
I took it, I might even give it a try, though "survival-horror" is the one thing that gives me pause.
