Pretty cool little roguelike horror game.

The untold lore is interesting and it’s pretty tense late game.

Right now trying to get the second ending and it’s not easy I like it.

I’m a writer, and I fell in love with Alexis Kennedy’s imagery and lore. I was never into videogames, but the storytelling and atmosphere really spoke to me. I recommend it to dreamers and problem-solvers alike.

This game has to be the single most difficult game I’ve ever played, I wont lie.

Like it’s one thing if a game is hard as balls, but this game physically hurts to play.

It’s not even a matter of frustration or anything like that.

All I have to do is look at the game board, and then my head starts to pound.

No game I have ever played before has had me slam my head down on my desk after winning because winning means I don’t have to torture myself anymore …until my brain decides that starting a new run is a good idea, that is.

Living the Nightmare

Living the Nightmare

no horror, not enough blood, not disgusting at all.

it is something like small version of turnbased crimson land.

if you are not into modern graphics and stuff and you are in search for some 30 minutes single session of killing monsters roguelite - it is for you.

advice: turn off ingame music and play some black/grind/funeral of your own collection.

EDIT: vote for game to be more disgusting! (and more stuff).

EDIT: ok, it is not a great-great-great game, also it has frustrating/gamebreaking bugs. but it is sure playable and i just want to support devs a little with positive review. still recommend, yeah!!!

Afar as game that try to somehow fit in the rouge like genre this is one of the more interesting. The tutorial level goes by fast and unfortunately you can’t go back ( at least I don’t know how. ) I like the hex format and overall style of the game , The combat is fitting for what they are trying to do. The only thing that really irritates me is the height thing. Its a pretty addicting little game. I am sure there are those who have ignited all of the shrines but that is not me as of yet. Its fairly cheap price wise so if you like rouge type games and horror definitely pick this up,

The Equinox Hunt

The Equinox Hunt

I’ve played the game a lot in alpha, beta as well as release, I’ve tried going for all the achievements, but it was too tedious after a while. You can find my name at the beginning of the credits as a tester.

Short Version:

Good side:

  • great gameplay

  • great level design

  • good controls

  • good enough atmosphere

Bad side:

  • badly presented story [no cutscenes except for the end]

  • no voice lines [breaks immersion][it could’ve easily been fixed for cheap]

  • badly optimized, to run the game a bit above 60 fps, it uses 80% of my gtx 1070ti

Had a lot of fun in the game even if its not something that I normally play. Got to the end of the game and enjoyed the ride, had quite a few laughs and scares along the way. You can play it stealthly or guns blazing, or I should say rocks blazing. I will replay the game just to hunt the achievements.

The game’s pretty great and gets really fun with its art/style. The modding community’s pretty alright as well! I had almost gotten to most of the in-game achievements but recently had to restart due to replacing a hard drive, still going to play through it again! Love this game.

P.S. OH BABY YEAH WE HEARD FROM THE DEV!

LOCIS

LOCIS

I’m a beta tester and I played the game since the first releases.

LOCIS is like a purgatory, a world where the good and the evil are one thing.

Player will catapulted in LOCIS without much explanations and suddenly it will be like being in a dream, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say like being in a nightmare.

Time is an enemy, but it won’t be the only one. Player will be faced with numerous dangers and monstrous entities, so it will not be easy to survive. I found a lot of variety, and even as a veteran, when you’re sure you’re ready for anything, it doesn’t take much to find yourself dying or lifeless.

This game was very interesting to play. This game it’s not like the majority of indie horror games that you can find here in the Steam store, Indie horror games are not very appreciated, due to the way they are made, without any care and attention to detail, realized with Graphic engines that use pre-packaged assets.

Why you should try it:

LOCIS is a very well thought-out game, despite the weight of the game files, it’s a very rich in content, despite being still early acces. The graphics is retro style and reminiscent of the old ps1 titles like Silent Hill, even the soundtrack it’s very well done and effective, very apt with the game, it gives that sort of restlessness and sense of mistery to the player. The game is divided into different areas, generated randomly, the game develops horizontally, you have to go through long and infinite corridors in whick there are many doors on the sides, locked and that can be opened, they contain interacting objects and furniture inside them. Inside them there are notes that are left by travelers of LOCIS, many are notes of mad peoples that have only meaningless or frustrating phrases, while other notes are very useful to understand what are the dangers of the area. In the rooms you can also find two types of keys and blue flames.

Ergastulum: Dungeon Nightmares III

Ergastulum: Dungeon Nightmares III

A very terrorfull game. Never imagined the dungeon nightmares games would get even more terrifying! I’m currently in the chamber of the damned… so intense!!! So far I’ve been cornered by bloody marry and the sniffing lady (don’t know her name yet, sorry lol), and found by the sniffing lady. I was just wandering around the dungeon and all of a sudden I heard this sniffing sound in my right ear. Turned to look and there she was! Was both kinda humorous and terrifying. Definitely DON’T recommend this game to the faint of heart. This dungeon I’m currently in is so intense I might not be able to finish it! lol Love the new abilities though. The ability to look around corners is great and the ability to hide when able is awesome! Thanks for making this game and can’t wait to see where else it may go. Keep it up 3

ERGASTULUM: DUNGEON NIGHTMARES III, awaken to a graveyard death world where only despair and damnation absolute saturate the living darkness. A place of inverted sanity reaching out disfigured and distorted into the jugular where madness awaits floating in time and space in eternal corners cursed, everywhere and nowhere taking hold of your existence in a vertigo vortex of never ending impossibility.

In the dark bowels beyond man’s dominion where no one can ever reach you wander you shall in uncontrollable trembling with flickering candle in hand as sinister shadows flicker and speed supernatural across walls ancient with unearthly inhuman screams screeching in blood thirsty soul ravaging hunger in the distance so disturbingly near.

Nadir

Nadir

Nadir - the point on the celestial sphere directly below an observer. It’s the direct opposite of the zenith… and your destination.

GAME DESCRIPTION: 🔥

Nadir is a dark deckbuilding roguelike adventure, with its artwork burning of infernal fire, and many extraordinary inspirations, the deepest of them coming straight from Dante’s Divine Comedy.

Control powerful, yet extremely blemished teams of characters, each representing one of the deadly sins. Fight using a plethora of unholy cards and try to escape the seemingly endless, multi-layered city.

TWIST ON A TURN SYSTEM 🔥

The Threat Counter shows how powerful the enemy’s attacks will become. There is no limit of played cards, but each of them adds points to the Threat Counter, so you’ll have to manage your risk-taking.

CHARACTER-BASED DECK BUILDING 🔥

Each character on your team contributes to your main deck; find synergies between each Sinner’s cards and build a dream (or nightmare) team.

CONTROL YOUR SINS 🔥

Every Sin has its own group of Sinners, shells that will bring its will to Nadir. As the sinners’ journey progresses, their power will grow, unlocking new abilities to fight even stronger threats. And if they shall fall, the abyss will produce more fools to try.

CHOOSE YOUR OWN APPROACH 🔥

Do you prefer raw damage or a more cunning way of poison? There is a multitude of different card effects to choose from. But remember that the enemy will attack you back, so you better look for cards that will decrease the Threat Counter.

CHALLENGING BOSSES 🔥

Each level of Nadir has its own Floor Guardian that you will have to defeat in order to go deeper into the city. But be careful, each of them has a unique ability!

REACH THE BOTTOM OF NADIR 🔥

This goal seems simple, but considering the characteristics of Sins, will they be able to divide the power between them?

A JOURNEY UNLIKE ANY OTHER 🔥

Watch your back on your way to the bottom of Nadir, taking time to admire its horrific look. It might feel familiar – from the wonders of the Divine Comedy, to desaturated aesthetics of Sin City, to the unforgettable design of Hellboy – yet not comfortable at all.

MODDING SUPPORT 🛠️

Devil’s in the detail and that’s why Nadir offers a built-in, extensive modding support for those who want to expand the world of Nadir and imprint their twisted fantasies onto every inch of the game.
