On-the-nose visual metaphor that is almost as funny as the main character's overall design. A 'nothing ventured, nothing gained' type of game - has nothing to say about depression or trauma besides lovingly painted watercolour renditions of the images you get when you Google Image search those words. I wish this was affecting, but it just left me bored and frustrated.

For a game called "Downwell," it sure is difficult to get down that fucking well.

Nothing in the design is wasted, every choice has pros and cons even down to where you choose to move at any given time. The result is a platformer that uses it's simplicity as a strength rather than a weakness, being both easy to learn (only one button plus directional!) and difficult to master. The overwhelming feeling of this game, perhaps more than any other I've ever played, is Zen. When you get in the groove, you are at one with the game and it feels amazing.

Plus the palette swaps are a great idea for unlocks and they serve to keep every new run fresh.

i laughed at my friend for crying at this game so he played it for me and then i cried at this game four times.

You know that feeling where you are having some existential dread, fearing for your short life and that you will die and become nothing, where your brain feels like its shaking and you are pleading for it to fucking stop. This game induces that feeling.

With my rice I like to have some cow, cow, cow
It tastes so very good, I don't know how, how, how
It's my favourite form of chow, chow, chow, wow
Oooooooowww, EAT NOW!

What if he absorbed Tyler1 I think that would be pretty funny.

i didn't care much for this game but i like the art and the music and im excited for the art and music in the sequel

The game that dared to ask if Slaves were as bad as their owners

I feel like playing this games actively makes you dirtier, you have to take 2 showers beforehand hoping on the 1st world just in case.

tfw this is one of the lowest games on the site cuz people dont realize this is ff4

It's physically impossible to describe the true splendor of this game without me spoiling, but just know it's really good.
