Unferat

Really fun take on the reverse horror genre. I love summoning demons and zombies to do my bidding against my enemies. The "openworld" aspect of this game also allows for you to really play your own way, and I absolutely love the magic system in this game. It just all feels really well put together and enjoyable.

Really good little necromancer sim.

On first glance slow, clunky, and janky, Unferat is actually surprisingly compelling once you get rolling. Each system, simulation, or spell has its own little quirks to learn, and the game rewards experimentation. You start out weak and vulnerable, and have resort to asymmetric tactics like spying, poisoning, and ambushes to pick off specific villagers. Your spells and abilities all have little bits of friction that lend them a sense of tangibility - it really contributes to the feeling of being an underdog when you have to frantically flee from a fight to create enough space to pull up your spellbook and double check your incantation, or retreat back to your lair to spend a few minutes brewing poisons to sneak into the town's food supply and using your scrying orb to spy on the villagers in search of isolated targets to pick off. Though I wouldn't characterize it as an ImSim per se, I think fans of games like Thief will enjoy this game that forces you to carefully consider your approach, use every tool and mechanic at your disposal, and come at foes sideways. For a couple bucks, Unferat is a unique 6-8 hour game that doesn't quite play like anything else I've seen.

One of those special games that are cheap, short but very unique. In this case game could be summarized as “Realistic Necromancer Simulator”. You collect resources, improve and learn new spells and try to take revenge on village. Its biggest feature by far is persistent map. Some creatures respawn, but villagers and named characters don’t. You start by culling map one by one, do side activities, until you gain power and summons to take small groups. With more humans killed, scripted events and more enemies arrive that need to be dealt with. Until you kill everyone leaving empty map as you depart. I would wish for something like this on grander scale with proper budget, as it has so much personality but sadly will be passed over and forgotten.

A rough but creative horror sandbox with old school sensibilities. Unferat is a difficult game to play, it has minimal guidance with no handholding. But does it has a clear creative voice and a willingness to experiment. It’s a simple game with unique mechanics and ideas that stand out, but needs a larger scale with more polish.

I really wish there were more games like this one. The only negative thing i can come up with is there should be more of what's already there. I wish there were more spells to discover, more ingredients to collect, a bigger map to explore. Other than that, the mechanics, controls, the story and music are all just art. This game is a piece of art.

A Diamond in the rough of a game, great concept. Can be very jank and takes a while to fully grasp it but once you do it's a great game. Did my first play through on hard and had a good struggle through and then did a second play through saving up points for the 100% had a great time the whole time but i will say this may not be for everyone as the jank may be a bit much, also the walk speed is a little slow if i'm being honest. Solid game!
