A slow burn that absolutely nails atmosphere and story telling. While drawing a lot of inspiration from horror films like Skinamarink, Ritual Static manages to feel familiar yet distinctively refreshing. Throughout my 90 minute playtime I was awestruck by the developer's artistic direction, use of analog elements, and story writing. My one thought throughout was, "how does this game not have enough recognition?" With so many cheap "horror" asset flips releasing every single day, what a satisfying feeling it is to find a gem like Ritual Static. My eyes will be glued to this developer's future.
Well designed game that has a deep meaning to it and is not very straight forward since its more or less left open to interpretation storywise. I did like the design of the game and when it comes to the horror aspect of it there is mostly just tension and no jumpscares unless you count the spooky ghost at the beginning when your playing a game inside a game. Overall not bad for the price and I enjoyed it https://youtu.be/-LC4TbuDU5k

I went from a deep fear- to having an immense sadness wash over me. Awesome game. It is about an hour and 30 minutes long- well, probably shorter if you're smart. Definitely worth the price tag and I look forward to more.
What started off as a "ooo cheap game why not" turned into a night spent really thinking about my earlier years. This game dredged up some memories of my childhood I didn't even know I had and had me scared not of some cheap monster or loud noise but of the next punch to my psychological gut. For a few bucks you may never find another gem like this.
Multi-perspective spooky photographer simulator that wears its Skinamarink influence on its sleeve, though a distinct undertone of melancholy drives things in a somewhat unexpected direction. Overall, a pleasantly moody little experience.
Killer vibes. 'Skinamarink: The Game, but Better Than the Movie'
It was a great time playing this game P.A.L
game of the year, was only a little scared, but very sad. really pulled on my heart strings there at the end. 11/10 great job little buddy
A short and sickly sweet game that asks you to immerse yourself in its nostalgia. The story and the way it's communicated, without being too metaphorical, make it a masterpiece of psychological horror.
WOW. This is a masterpiece. When I started, I stopped a moment, thinking, 'meh, i don't want to play a lofi jump scare factory. I was wrong. This is so much different. Beautiful.
