In the past 3 years, I've felt I have been losing interest in all video games and growing out of them. I played a lot of titles this year and I have begun to feel saturated and exhausted with them after minutes.
This has not only been the most meaningful experience I have had in several years but is the only thing that even comes a close second to Celeste. It is not to say it is the second best "video game" I have played in my lifetime: It is the second most meaningful THING I have witnessed in my lifetime. AND ITS A FUCKING DOOM WAD.
Happiness has to be fought for...

taking the whole creepypasta thing aside (ooo so scaryy.. like C'mon) the environments created are absolutely fantastic. the non-euclidean architecture paired with the eerie-yet-beautiful music ON the field of liminal spaces is just best described as (figurative) aphrodisiacs for my brain, and i'd love to see more stuff focusing on that in the future of vidya. this review may be biased since i got spoiled on the game by fully watching decino's livestream of the wad, but i think i'd come to the same conclusion anyway
Does occasionally feel more like a proof of concept but really this is just as cool as everyone is saying it is! Don't want to get into really anything that happens to avoid spoilers but there is some incredible atmosphere and imagery going on here and i love it. the mod that boldly dares to ask what if madotsuki from yumme nikki had a chaingun and fought demons
Absolutely mind blowing! I experienced this primarily through videos and Let's Plays on YouTube but I have begun playing through myself. It opens very unassumingly but gradually becomes more and more unsettling as it slowly begins to reveal itself. Once the band-aid's off however all bets are off and that's when this game begins to really open! This mod has a lot of hype surrounding it for a reason. If you love horror in any way you owe it to yourself to experience this at least once. Easily one of my favorite things to come out this year!
The kind of game that's best to just go in blind for. It's really unlike any other Doom mod I've ever seen: a haunting and sad "horror" game in the creepypasta mold. Smartly pulls from the classic "I made my house!" type of Doom mods for its basis before twisting it into an original horror tale. Can't recommend it enough. You won't play another game like it this year.
Only knock I can have against it is that it's a little too easy to lock yourself into a "bad" ending without even knowing it. First time I played this baby I "beat" it thinking I'd seen everything, only to go online and find out I'd merely locked myself out of half the game on accident. Oops! Had to go back and replay it with a guide to see the rest.

High-effort interactive creepypasta that's clearly (and unashamedly) very inspired by House of Leaves. The packaged writing is unimpressive & uninspired, and its tricks are a bit spoiled if you're aware of other things that use invisible, subtle warps to create the illusion of paradoxical geometry. I don't want to be overly harsh - it's a fun way to spend half an hour, well worth a spin for those intrigued.
