devs had a good understanding of what works in horror, game should've been 500 rooms shorter though

half life 2 runs better on xbox classic (probably looks a lil better too)

I got this game for 2 euro and even though I enjoyed it, it'd be difficult for me to pay any more

The core gameplay loop is fun. Tending to plants up close with physics and such is fun and intuitive. Mana channeling is a great mechanic which helps support the whole magic narrative and also greatly boosts plant growth, although it gets a little repetitive after a while.

Ambient tracks and general sound design are great. The miscalenious sounds such as navigating menus, spells running out, mana getting lower, footsteps, etc. are all done very well. The contrast between the calm, cheerful ambiance of the main base and the dreadful, hostile atmosphere in the miasma really amplifies the sense of danger and urgency.

The broom mechanic was executed in a way I haven't seen before, giving you access to physics-based movement with momentum in an otherwise static game, movement wise.

I really liked the cat! loved the cat. great cat. voiced by spiderman. crazy. amazing cat. great performance. voice acting in general is great here.

In terms of visuals, the game has its moments, but generally its just kinda ugly. The 2d art is great, you can see it in the game banner, the ui, the achievements, but some of the 3d models are just downright ugly, most glaringly the player character. you can tell what kind of artstyle they were going for, maybe if they had more resources they could've executed it better. The biggest flaw in my opinion is the lighting system. The rough, harsh shadows just don't work well here.

Animations mostly look cheap and flimsy. I can think of one or two that are halfway decent, but most of them are pretty rough. Again, mainly your own, the ones that you'll be seeing for the entirety of the game. You get used to them eventually and it doesn't exactly ruin the experience, but it's another detail that makes the game feel unpolished.

Most of my playtime and engagement came from doing the sidequests. You don't get anything particularly game changing as rewards for them, the main big rewards are cosmetics. If you're interested in that you might like it. I enjoy customization, which isn't half bad in this game, and it gave me an incentive to seek out new plants and harvest my own more.

Writing in this game isn't much to write home about. In the first area, you're essentially exploring what remains of your family member's past, connecting with them in a way. If the game was driven more by such narrative, it would've been great. Unfortunetaly, it's only present in that area and the rest don't hold the same weight.

You can tell this was a console release first and pc version second. Basically no graphics settings, runs 30fps on a competent rig at times.

There's no post-game content and the homebase customization is lackluster, there might aswell not be any.



If you can look past some of it's flaws and you're into the whole witch aesthetic, it's a good time!
