legitimately such a fun and unique platformer. a combination of spy kids, monster house (personal vibe), and tim burton, wrapped up in a groovy 50's era package. there are so many combating aesthetic choices that end up working very well together. endlessly intriguing setting and characters, milla and sasha being my favorites. there are high and low points, but my favorite sections were the asylum and black velvetopia. my only gripe was the lack of player incentive to revisit the main starting area (camp) during the second-half of the game.

parappa the rapper walked so um jammer lammy and parappa the rapper 2 could run. specifically, parappa the rapper 2 takes everything from the original only to excel in every area. the gameplay is smoother, the characters are charming and full of life, and the world feels far more "lived" in. it's no wonder that this series went on to get a full anime adaptation. where is parappa the rapper 3!!!

some of the best aquatic horror you can get. "CorpseOcean" is another deep-sea submarine horror game, where you investigate and collect organic materials from specific coordinates. the gameplay loop is very similar to, and seemingly inspired the popular title "Iron Lung." the sound design here is excellent and enhanced the terror greatly. very lovecraft inspired as always, but actually done right.
