I really enjoyed this game and the retro vibes it conveys. I'd definitely play other similar games, that reconnect older players to their childhood. Lovely ambiance and interesting puzzles too.
If you stumbled over this game, you might be as lost as the family of its protagonist… [i]The Corruption Within[/i] is an atmospheric and nice short adventure game that surly not is for everyone. Not because it is so scary, but because of the very old-school graphics, the way you maneuver through the world and because of its length. It is presented in first person perspective, and you move through the locations by clicking on arrows that allow you to change the scene. After arriving at a location, you can examine a lot of stuff, nearly everything has a nice description and some jokes or background here and there. There are several characters you interact with, a little stereotypical at times but they serve the plot well some move from one scene to another as the story progresses. Overall, the mechanics are fine if you are into adventure games, but due to the approach regarding movement there are some passages where there is a lot of “back tracking” to get back to a place to do something and go back where you came from. It’s not super annoying but it’s not ideal either. I really liked the story. The atmosphere was good and what happened was a fresh take. Also, it made a lot more sense than most (Hollywood) movies these days. i]The Corruption Within[/i] clocks in under two hours. Which makes the current price of a little over 8 Euros too expensive for my taste. But if you are into this kind of game and want to experience a nice but short story, buy it on sale…

I thought this was a pretty solid point-and-click horror game for what it is, with a nice, interesting plot twist that kept me engaged. My only real complaint would be the characters. They sometimes come off as a bit awkward and strange, but not in a way that enhances the atmosphere or story. It felt more clunky than deliberately unsettling. Still, despite that, I definitely think it’s worth playing if you’re into horror and enjoy a good mystery.
This guy is great at telling stories. I really love the universe and atmosphere that conveys those games and this studio. (music, drawings, colors, palette, retro pixels, 80 style) (happy he could voice Neon Hearts City and Twilight Oracle which are great games) This one is ok. (needed a guide the whole time) This one was less immersive than the other games (more recent) of cosmic void, especially linked to less convicing models and drawings and also music which is the asset of those games when there is no voice overs. (excepted intro and ending) for obvious reasons. Now waiting the new game from this studio. officially played them all already...New "Midnight Saturn" incoming, seems to have all the ingredients combined from all those great games. The best is to come with this great indie studio !!!
I'll give the game a thumbs up, but it's nothing special. The writing is all over the place and I didn't like the fact that progress was determined by unrelated actions – for example, to make a character appear you have to do something else that has nothing to do with that character. Yes, it's still a decent point-and-click game, but keep your expectations low.
Una aventura gráfica corta (poco más de 2hs) y correcta. Los puzzles están bien diseñados y la historia acompaña. Hay unos momentos de "decisión" pero no afectan a la historia principal sino una especie de "que pasó después", aunque medio descolgados. Puntaje: 7/10

Horror/mystery point and click game, by Cosmic Void and Dave Seaman (of Captain Disaster series), which I am a fan of both. The graphics are pixel art with minimal animations and sound effects. There is voice acting in the intro and end, but not during the game. The puzzles are the right level, you need to keep going back and forth to check if anything's changed. About 1-2 hours play. There is a branching narrative, but only affects the end of game messages. Another recommended game by both creators.
6/10 中规中矩avg解谜 出门玩倒霉丢了老婆孩子,进洋馆解谜找家人的游戏。解谜思路其实很简单,但是调用了不少英语世界常识所以有时候还真想不到…以及要搜刮的物品还真不少,落下了就容易悲剧死档;经常有交互点需要多次触发才有东西可拿!!!触发剧情记得回去找npc对话。基本细心一点还是比较容易搜全的。 美术很有特色,实际上画面也没有什么太过惊悚的表现,safe!
yeah it was cool, i liked the story a lot
