Below, Rusted Gods

I honestly had no idea what I was getting myself into. I didn't really understand the developer's description of the game, but I'm so glad I gave it a chance. The atmosphere is amazing and the sound design is excellent. This is one of the scariest games I've played in a long time. It doesn't rely on cheap jump scares or other overused horror tactics, it just keeps you on edge the whole time. Highly recommend it if you're into atmospheric horror.

As a fan of the horror genre who's played a lot of horror games, I wasn't really sure what to expect going in, but this ended up being one of my favorite horror games in a while. It's not trying to scare you with cheap tricks, but instead it just keeps this constant feeling that something is wrong, and your own imagination does most of the work. The atmosphere builds gradually, and it takes some time to get the hang of where you are and what's your role, but that's the beauty of it, as you're slowly being dragged into the game's universe (much like the squad). The sound design and the aesthetics carry the whole experience, and I found myself getting more tense the deeper I got. I also really liked the whole operator concept. You're not just walking around, you're actually keeping track of your team, solving puzzles, making decisions, and slowly figuring out what's happening. It's only a couple of hours long, but it never felt rushed, and the different endings definitely make me want to go back and see what I missed. You can tell a lot of care went into this. Everything feels really polished, from the presentation to the voice acting. If you're into slower psychological or cosmic horror and don't mind a game that lets the atmosphere do most of the heavy lifting, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a shot. It's the kind of indie game that deserves way more people talking about it.

Had me immersed and poopin my pants, very cool

Below, Rusted Gods is serious about its horror as it gets. When you are this much serious about your horror, you gotta deliver on it otherwise you will fail and this game does not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fail about this. Spectacular work.

Une recommandation en demi-teinte. Le jeu en lui même est de qualité, graphiquement, narrativement. Mais il me semble frustrant. J'en voulait vraiment plus !!! ... Avec cette ambiance, ce filtre vhs, le scénario, ce huit clos ... Il y avait tellement à faire !!! Si peu d'interaction, tellement de potentiel. Pourquoi si peu de bricolages avec tout ce matériel à disposition ??? Pourquoi ne pas procéder à des analyses, des tests, des recalibrages en profondeur ??? En y mixant des énigmes, des mécanismes, des appareils à reconstruire ? Pourquoi avoir cette sensation de ne vivre qu'une trame narrative linéaire ? Cette sensation d'appuyer que sur des boutons on/off sans devoir configurer, calibrer, régler, bidouiller ... Je me suis ennuyé. Il manque de challenge, d'énigmes, de casse tête ... De choix vraiment impactant. Mais c'est une bonne découverte, si vous voulez quelque chose de simple et linéaire ... L'univers proposé est cohérent.

Super well made and frickin scary. If the premise intrigues you, get this.

The jumpscares are not offensive and the plot is thoughtful. Great atmosphere!

this game FREAKED ME OUT. it was great. i will play again to get some different endings. i hope the dev(s?) makes more games <3
