Sounds like a great "small child in a big scary world " game👍
To the credit of the graphic, it gives that vibe of dark-european-puppet-fantasy movies from the 80s.
Bit of a correction: Its inspired by NORDIC folklore. They do seem to be using alot of Swedish letters but they have taken a general mix of features from both Norway, Sweden and I think Denmark
Why don't people just say Scandinavian anymore?
But isn't Sweden like also a Nordic country with Nordic culture?
@@triggerhappynumskull Because that is less accurate
@@cyborgchicken3502 Yes but they used Norwegian and Danish elements
@@triggerhappynumskull Because not every country in Scandanvia was born from Norse culture... they're literally two different things. It's like talking about the Roman Empire and saying "Why don't they just call it Italy?"
So many gems in the videogame world. What a time to be alive.
this is such a wholesome comment, I love it.
I'd love to play a new game that can teach me about another culture's folklore. Gimme more educational games!
Thank you for the review.
I love games that pull from folklore - I wish more games did, there's a lot to dig into! I also find it amusing that Japanese folklore is usually the bat-shit standard but some western cultures have some absolutely insane stuff knocking around, it's absolutely fascinating stuff to read. Thanks Will.
The kids are intentionally designed to look like cherubs... they're not bad character models at all?
I’ve just finished it, it was beautiful
As a Swede, every time you pronounce the name Olle, I die slightly inside.
The soundtrack to this game is simply beautiful.
Why does every 3 hour game inspired by Little Nightmares always cost more than £25?
Something about (some of) the scenes evokes "Eternal Darkness" from the GameCube.
This was an interesting game as I did enjoy and agree the darker elements were more disturbing than scary it was fun in some areas though once I put it down I didn't pick it back up which is a problem.
Is it just me or is $30 a bit steep? Looks really cool though
since a cinema visit costs ~$15 worth 2 hours of entertainment it does seem kinda fair.
It's $60-$70 in AU 😭
For a physical ?
It is hard to compete with the likes of Little Nightmares in the 'tiny child scary world' arena.
Can the movement keys be configured to the mouse
£22 on eshop in UK
Around £30 for physical copy
I don't mind a game that's not too long (as long as it's not too pricey), and I prefer not to be too scared. So this might suit me quite well - it looks different and interesting enough
Just keep in mind that while it’s not super *scary* per se (in terms of jump-scares or big scary monsters) it’s very disturbing in terms of the themes and some of the things it portrays - take heed of the warning at the beginning if you do decide to play it!
I actually like that the charactermodels aren't extremely scary. Most horrorgames are too much for me, but this seems like something I could handle:).
2:49 How much did it cost to get Barbara Streisand to agree to this?
Not funny.
@@ES-wn4oq Ok Mom, I'll stop posting if you think it's lame.
Lol underrated comment
I have the agree with the character models of the main characters. They look like assets. The creatures were slightly better, but needed mors polish.
Why does Tim always seem oblivious?
It's on gamepass and it looks intriguing👀
Where in the game synopsis does it say this is a horror game that is meant to terrify? It is described as "grim" and "twisted". I don't know how you made the leap to horror and expected such.
Not just Swedish folklore,
Mmm, viscera!
Would've preferred if you played as Ollie, so you'd radically skate around the forest and style over the monsters
I'll see myself out, eh
Olé !!
I normally skip games like this but I might actually check this one out
you should, it's a great short game
Generally good review, but honestly I can't understand how anyone can say that the monster design in this game wasn't scary. You can't tell me that Näcken, or the Swamp monster (with the unpronounceable name), or Petra, or even the regular ass trolls weren't completely terrifying
If you haven't played it. Play it! It's incredible, but it's very, very disturbing. If you're sensitive to very depressing storyline it may not be for you. Highly suggest it other than that.
...and PS4
Tbh this looks like a perfect case of graphics actually mattering. Most of the time gameplay is king but this looks like it could be better overall experience with better models. I plan on playing anyway but I honestly was considering the download because of the jank models. One of those first impressions things
I was afraid that it wouldn't be very ambitious..
Not really big into the "small child in scary world" subset of indie games, so I'll probably pass on this.
Boring game with shockingly bad optimization... disappointing to say the least
You didn't understand a damn thing then..
@@jimking81 Understood it fully, not rocket science...
@@jorisbonson386 Sorry but if you say that is a boring game, then no. You didn't understand its whole spirit. I played on my PS4 Pro and run smoothly. Where you see "shockingly bad optimization"...
@@jimking81 PC. And yes it's dull as fuck 👍
@@jorisbonson386 This kind of games like Inside, Little Nightmares, Limbo etc are particular! If you don't like the type then why you buy it!? For those who can appreciate it is one of the best. You can't judge a game because you don't understand it!
I'm gonna try it..seems like it will be good!
best game , 🥲
