Astrophobia

In the best traditions of H. P. Lovecraft :))

Really enjoyed this one! The atmosphere is creepy, the tension builds nicely, and there are some genuinely unsettling moments. The game does a great job creating that feeling of never knowing what’s going to happen next. Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy short indie horror games. 👍 Full Walkthrough with all Achievements: https://youtu.be/eH8kqKSxDks

It's an enjoayble little horror experience with an oobvious love for lovecraft. The visuals are a great homage to the early days of 3D consoles and the built in CRT filter is one of the best ones I've seen so far. Really adds a lot to the mood and atmosphere. The sound design is also excellent. Fits right into the retro aesthetic while not using it as an excuse to be lazy about it or use some low quality stock effects (might still be stock, but it doesn't sound cheap). The writing does what it needs to do. If you're familiar with Lovecraft stories and especially with "At the mountains of madness", as the dev quotes it as direct inspiration himself, you know what you're in for. The dialogue is fine and you can see the "twist" coming from a mile away, but I don't think anyone was trying to reinvent the cosmic horror wheel here. This is obviously a pastige and not a bad one at that. There's much worse ways to spend a couple of bucks for about an hour of enetertainment and I'd like to see what this dev can do in the future if they decide to step beyond walking sims and try to put a little more of themselves into their writing instead of leaning too hard on established works. I'm still giving it a thumbs up withouth a single bit of regret for having enjoyed it and supported someone in their creative endeavors.

cool game

Fun little short indie walking sim about finding a pyramid on the moon and an ancient city underneath. Story is predictable and the end exposition is a bit too on the nose, but the end cutscene is fun and even though both of the twists are predictable, one of them still cool. It's $3 and made by one dude, it'll take you 20 minutes. Go for it.

Great little game! The atmosphere was captured well, the graphics are lovely to look at, and as a small game you can finish in a single evening, it’s a fantastic experience. I’d love to see more like this.
