The sacred bootyhole
a atmosfera desse jogo é muito boa, é claustrofóbica e suja, é assustado as criaturas desse jogo, e todo o questionamento de Deus é tão bom, amei.
The gameplay is a little irritating, the fish sometimes move very quickly, but the imagery and atmosphere is great. There's a lot of itch.io horror games with religious themes and itch.io horror games about the deep ocean, but this is the first time I've seen them combined, which is neat! It's free and it lasts 30 minutes, go play it.
the gameplay is kind of irritating, and I'm unsure of what the narrative is trying to say, but wow do the visuals build this uneasy throbbing mood
The Yames vibe, translated to a much more game-like structure. I am simply waiting for more.
Very atmospheric horror game. I liked it a lot.
While short as fuck, Water Womb World is one of those games that instantly click with me the second I boot it up. Words don't do it justice, just play the game and let the all encompassing nothingness of the deep sea wash over you.
Dio Cristo quanto cazzo sono veloci. tento di camperare su sti' stronzi, ma DIO mi punisce

Entre esto, The Well y Vía Negativa, empiezo a considerar a Yames une artista de pocas temáticas y muchas ideas. Donde el primer juego tanteaba con los elementos de una novela gótica clásica, y Vía Negativa trata de presentarse como una versión retorcida del sacrificio de Job, Water Womb World es, a mi parecer, la obra suya que más reconoce sus raíces lovecraftianas. A decir verdad, hay historias en los Mitos de Cthulhu que se leen prácticamente igual si excusas el componente religioso.
Como ya he dicho, creo que Yames es un poco de piñón fijo, pero mientras la estética y la presentación me entren, estaré dispuesto a excusarlo. Y aquí lo que me ha entrado es la interfaz de PC-98 que lo impregna todo. Con todo, hecho en falta un poquito más de variedad.

Between this, The Well and Via Negativa, I'm beginning to see Yames as an artist with few themes but many ideas. Whereas the first game tinkered with the tropes of a gothic novel, and Via Negativa is like a twisted version of Job's sacrifice, Water Womb World is the one work of his that sits closer to Lovecraft. Truth be told, there are stories in the Cthulhu Myths that read pretty much the same minus the religious component.
As I said, I think Yames is a bit of a one trick pony, but as long as the aesthetics and presentation suit me I'll be willing to play. The PC-98 interface is what did it for me this time, but I missed some variety in the end.

To start: play this game , it's free and lasts 30 minutes.
One of the weirder titles i played, it managed to fill me with the same sensations (not emotions!) that some really good short stories. Sensations mainly of discomfort; but also of wanting to now more; but also of not wanting to. And ultimately, you cannot know more about this world, so i was left to wonder on what i just experienced, on the sensations, more than on the "lore", and i still remember this game after years, so... um, definitely give it a try!

Uma curta experiência, mas bastante atmosférica e interessante. Não tenho tanta familiaridade com esse tipo de jogos, mas esse aqui me deixou extremamente interessado em conhecer mais do trabalho do Yames e jogos similares.
I selfishly wish this was longer(like when you want that extra cake slice you know you shouldn't), but I think the mystique would wash away(heh) if it was. I love everything Yames has put out, but Water Womb World might be my favorite.
The theological musings of the protagonist that border on delusional behavior coupled with the unease every corner of the game seems to exude...SO good.
