Sounds like a great "small child in a big scary world " game👍

Bit of a correction: Its inspired by NORDIC folklore. They do seem to be using alot of Swedish letters but they have taken a general mix of features from both Norway, Sweden and I think Denmark

Why don't people just say Scandinavian anymore?

@@triggerhappynumskull Because not every country in Scandanvia was born from Norse culture... they're literally two different things. It's like talking about the Roman Empire and saying "Why don't they just call it Italy?"

To the credit of the graphic, it gives that vibe of dark-european-puppet-fantasy movies from the 80s.

I'd love to play a new game that can teach me about another culture's folklore. Gimme more educational games! Thank you for the review.

I love games that pull from folklore - I wish more games did, there's a lot to dig into! I also find it amusing that Japanese folklore is usually the bat-shit standard but some western cultures have some absolutely insane stuff knocking around, it's absolutely fascinating stuff to read. Thanks Will.

This was an interesting game as I did enjoy and agree the darker elements were more disturbing than scary it was fun in some areas though once I put it down I didn't pick it back up which is a problem.

Is it just me or is $30 a bit steep? Looks really cool though

since a cinema visit costs ~$15 worth 2 hours of entertainment it does seem kinda fair.

I have the agree with the character models of the main characters. They look like assets. The creatures were slightly better, but needed mors polish.

@AmeagLuz Жыл бұрын

I actually like that the charactermodels aren't extremely scary. Most horrorgames are too much for me, but this seems like something I could handle:).

@MariaVosa Жыл бұрын

I don't mind a game that's not too long (as long as it's not too pricey), and I prefer not to be too scared. So this might suit me quite well - it looks different and interesting enough

@fungusmoon Жыл бұрын

Just keep in mind that while it’s not super *scary* per se (in terms of jump-scares or big scary monsters) it’s very disturbing in terms of the themes and some of the things it portrays - take heed of the warning at the beginning if you do decide to play it!

Where in the game synopsis does it say this is a horror game that is meant to terrify? It is described as "grim" and "twisted". I don't know how you made the leap to horror and expected such.

Generally good review, but honestly I can't understand how anyone can say that the monster design in this game wasn't scary. You can't tell me that Näcken, or the Swamp monster (with the unpronounceable name), or Petra, or even the regular ass trolls weren't completely terrifying

It is hard to compete with the likes of Little Nightmares in the 'tiny child scary world' arena.

The kids are intentionally designed to look like cherubs... they're not bad character models at all?

If you haven't played it. Play it! It's incredible, but it's very, very disturbing. If you're sensitive to very depressing storyline it may not be for you. Highly suggest it other than that.

Tbh this looks like a perfect case of graphics actually mattering. Most of the time gameplay is king but this looks like it could be better overall experience with better models. I plan on playing anyway but I honestly was considering the download because of the jank models. One of those first impressions things
