After my October Horror games fest I did I had played this and my older brother happened to try to play it and fell in love with it just as I did. I was so excited to talk to someone else about it. Not long after we happened to find a Co-op mod someone had been working on which got us really hyped as I got to experience everything again with him together. This time instead of being a coward and running away getting Ending E we managed to conquer the second part of the game and get the "All Gods Ending". Such a unforgettable experience and the amount of lore this game has and how interesting it was made me love this even more. Even with two people with two separate parties this game still whooped us and is a relentless beast. The Co-op mod is a work in progress it seems as we ran into a few crashes that would be triggered in certain circumstances, but we were able to get through it to the very end together and so glad someone made this! After seeing some reviews and talks about Termina and coming across one of the creators saying how they will be making another one as well has me really excited and I may jump into Termina very very soon! Again, this series is surely not for everyone with its very bleak and dark tone with a lot of viewer discretion advised. Even so, I love this shit and if you are like me with a deep love for rpg/horror games then this will certainly be your new addiction.

One day I woke up and decided to scroll through my youtube activity on my phone and came across this video.

Needless to say, once I watched the first few minutes I was super invested and decided to shut the video off and play and experience this game for myself which cuts to this very point today when I finally jumped in. Even after getting ending E and realizing I still have so much more to dig into with this one and get the other endings it took me nearly 6 hours of playing nonstop to get to this point and im truly just lost in thought about this whole experience. The instantaneous feeling of dread and nervousness creeps in the moment you walk through the start of the dungeon before the rabid dogs come in to chew off your legs. I did not expect to have roguelike elements and before I knew it I was tortured, had my head bashed in, and my skin ripped completely off while still trying to crawl to escape. I kind of had this same feeling when I found out about horror rpg maker games like Corpse party that once you first experience it you really cant stop thinking about it for quite some time as the credits roll. I feel like even on the easiest difficulty it is very difficult and you really have to learn through trial and error to be able to get far in this game just to actually save! I kind of wanted to experience a game so grotesque and dark and its just as horrific as I imagined, surely I will have some nightmares tonight that's for damn sure. The art is so disgusting and each enemy and the sound effects they make combined with the creeping ambient music truly immerses you in the worst/best way. It reminds me also of those older point and click and NES games like uninvited where you just have to learn from experience and with a flip of a coin you will either live or die with it completely out of your control which is such a hopeless situation which makes you truly feel helpless as if you were there in the fear and hunger dungeon.

I may be a bit all over the place, but that is what this game can do to you lol I definitely would love more games like this and will definitely play more of this to learn and get better with it. One hell of an experience you surely won't forget and I am still reeling from the abhorrent events that have just transpired!

Also it says this game is Steamdeck verified, however everytime I would play for about 5-10 minutes the game would just give me a black screen and I could hear things, but not see anything which made it even more scary! Wish there was some way to fix that.
