Same here, played it about a month ago, fun idea at its core that’s executed extremely well, very memorable. Unfortunately it’s very short, probably around ten hours for me to complete everything, but it have might gotten stale if it went on too far beyond that without significant gameplay alterations. Probably like 70-80% a puzzle game, 20-30% action. My only complaint is that I don’t really like hearing all the terrified screams, but I’m not sure those could be removed without destroying the immersion.

Different genre, but another indie game I want to mention is Eastward, which is actually something I tried playing after seeing a poster here on lemmy give glowing praise just a week or two after it came out. I think it’s the best pixel art I’ve ever seen. The dialogue and story are wonderful overall, heartwarming at times and creepy at others. The charcters have personality. Overall the appeal for me is that there’s a lot of emotion packed into every aspect of the game.

I think the gameplay is fun, but that’s not the reason the game is memorable and the main complaint people have is that there are many long stretches that are just building atmosphere with minimal gameplay. I didn’t mind that at all, but I was disappointed with how much of the story was up for inperpretation after beating it. I spent most of the game excited to see how the loose ends and parts of the story I didn’t get would be tied together, so it was a let-down when the game ended and most of those questions just weren’t answered.

Somewhere in here there’s a joke about the cocaine laced with fentanyl that I keep getting told is a massive problem that requires more police funding to deal with.

The feds can’t imprison me for making cocaine “too entertaining”!
