Idols of Ash

A game about descending an extremely deep, vast ruin alone with your grappling hook with a looming threat giving chase. I was very happy to discover that beating the game once was just the beginning, and the subsequent challenges were even more fun! This is a great game with polished physics, movement, lighting. Immaculate vibe. I would love to see the concept iterated on in a future installment. Kinda feels like how Portal 1 was a tech demo and the "real game" was Portal 2. But I think this game did everything right -- the loneliness, lighting, architecture, simple mechanics... Great. Definitely pick this up.

Very unique and cool game.

Played this in VR, like most of the games I play nowadays. However still afraid of heights. Well worth price.

Not bad, though very short, as the $3 price tag would indicate. Grappling physics were very satisfying and monster was spooky and threatening without being overbearing.

Yeah, not bad. Creepy nostalgic PS1-like where you grapple hook your way down a big hole. Centipedes chase you. Weirdly, it reminded me of the OG Tomb Raider in its sense of silence and isolation. That was a good thing. But the game is incredibly short, and feels more like a tech demo from some parallel past. Still, for the price it is a well worth it.

Game gives me grapple and rope physics. First 10 minutes were just death and jumping Made it to second check point then realized there was a massive centipede chasing you. Massive centipede gets ignored for the majority of the playthrough. Beats normal mode, in maybe 20-30 minutes. “is that it?” Gets option of nightmare mode. No check points, faster and smarter centipede. Plays it like a speedrun. Meets massive centipede at the second hp heal. Actually, jumps scare. Fall off and die a few seconds later. Multiple attempts later. Beats nightmare mode without even seeing the centipede. 7/10 game thought it would be deeper.
