TAMASHII

Bem tenebroso e dark, irado demais!

Short but sweet. I enjoyed it.

Jogo super interessante, da pra ver q foi feito com carinho. O jogo tem uns bons sustos, puzzles ótimos e uma atmosfera intensa. Minha única critica é ao HUB de fases, ele tem essa vibe metroidvania mas gostaria q fosse mais simples e direto, perdi um tempo legal caçando onde eu deveria ir, n sentia mt clareza se ja tinha completado certa fase tb. Jogao

Rad!

This game is HARD like really sweaty level hard. Not my type of game, but the vibe it's really good. If you like hard games, this might be one you'd like

TAMASHII is an experimental horror puzzle-platformer that makes a lasting impression through disturbing imagery, cryptic storytelling, and an atmosphere that constantly feels hostile and unnatural. Developed and published by Vikintor, the game takes noticeable inspiration from obscure Japanese titles from the late 1980s and 1990s, but it does much more than simply imitate retro aesthetics. Its pixel-art environments become a canvas for grotesque creatures, religious symbolism, distorted bodies, psychedelic effects, and surreal events. Instead of building horror around conventional jump scares, it creates discomfort by making the player uncertain about what might appear next and whether anything on the screen can truly be trusted. The premise begins with an unnamed soul being summoned by an ancient entity whose mysterious temple has been invaded by a malicious presence. The player's objective is to enter this strange place, investigate the corruption, and confront whatever is responsible. A mysterious Witch and other unusual figures gradually complicate the situation, although the narrative deliberately avoids providing straightforward explanations. Much of the story must be interpreted through encounters, environments, symbolism, and hidden details. This ambiguity suits the game's dreamlike personality, making the journey feel less like a traditional adventure and more like exploring a corrupted spiritual realm where logic has started to collapse. At its core, the gameplay combines platforming with environmental puzzles. The controls and fundamental movement are relatively easy to understand, allowing the puzzles themselves to become the primary challenge. Rooms contain hazards, switches, obstacles, and mechanisms that require careful observation and appropriate timing. One of the most interesting abilities allows the protagonist to create copies of itself. These duplicates can remain in particular positions and become essential components of puzzle solutions. A room that initially appears impossible can therefore become manageable once the player understands where duplicates need to stand and when each action must occur. The puzzle design generally favors experimentation over complicated rules. Players learn through observation and repeated attempts, and the game steadily finds new ways to use its established mechanics. Certain situations demand precise movement or timing, which can occasionally produce frustration when the intended solution has already been understood but execution remains difficult. A useful slow-motion feature helps alleviate this issue by making demanding sequences more manageable. Autosaving also prevents failures from becoming excessively punishing. Together, these features allow the challenge to remain meaningful without turning every mistake into unnecessary repetition. Exploration offers additional rewards beyond simply completing the main path. Secrets and Easter eggs are hidden throughout the game, fitting naturally into environments where almost every unusual detail seems suspicious. There are also score-attack and time-trial elements for players interested in revisiting stages and improving their performance. Achievement hunters have 25 Steam achievements to pursue. These additions provide some replay value and encourage players to investigate areas more carefully rather than rushing directly toward the conclusion. The visual presentation is the defining element. Its retro pixel graphics can initially appear simple, but they are repeatedly transformed through unsettling animations, grotesque figures, disturbing faces, strange creatures, nudity, supernatural imagery, and explicit religious themes. The contrast between old-fashioned graphics and aggressive horror imagery gives the game a personality that is difficult to confuse with a conventional pixel platformer. Some scenes are intentionally uncomfortable, and the imagery can become considerably more disturbing than the graphical style might initially suggest. Sound design reinforces this oppressive atmosphere effectively. Rather than depending on elaborate cinematic presentation, the game combines disturbing sounds, eerie ambience, sudden audiovisual changes, and unsettling environmental details to maintain tension. The player frequently expects something abnormal to happen even when a room appears relatively safe. This sustained uncertainty demonstrates how effectively horror can work without realistic graphics or enormous production values. There are several important considerations for sensitive players. Flashing imagery and psychedelic effects are prominent enough that people susceptible to photosensitive reactions should exercise caution. The game also contains mature material involving nudity and religious themes. Another unusual feature can involve displaying the name registered on the player's computer as part of its fourth-wall-breaking presentation. This can make the experience feel unexpectedly personal, but anyone planning to stream or record gameplay should be aware of the potential privacy concern. Steam Deck compatibility is excellent because TAMASHII is Steam Deck Verified. The game functions with the handheld's built-in controls, displays appropriate controller icons, provides readable interface text, and performs properly with its default graphical configuration. Its relatively straightforward controls and room-focused puzzle design also translate naturally to portable play. Players connecting certain external Bluetooth or USB controllers may occasionally need to select the appropriate active controller manually, but ordinary handheld play should present few complications. Overall, the Deck is a particularly suitable way to experience the game. Its greatest limitation is also part of its identity. Players who need clearly explained storytelling may find the narrative excessively obscure, while those expecting combat-heavy horror or a large adventure may consider the mechanical scope modest. Some puzzles can require trial and error, and the disturbing imagery will inevitably alienate players who dislike grotesque or provocative material. The experience is therefore designed for a relatively specific audience rather than attempting universal appeal. TAMASHII ultimately works because its puzzles, retro presentation, surreal narrative, and horror imagery all support the same uncomfortable vision. It offers approachable mechanics while surrounding them with an increasingly bizarre world that encourages curiosity even when exploring it feels unpleasant. The combination of clone-based puzzles, hidden secrets, optional performance challenges, accessibility features, strong controller support, and memorable audiovisual horror gives this compact experience considerable personality. For fans of experimental psychological horror and unconventional puzzle-platformers, it is a strange and confidently designed journey worth investigating. Rating: 8/10
