Stop the Presses! I got a request in my curator group

Well, this was seriously unexpected since my group is super small and I barely started. Actually I got the request a few weeks ago but the dev asked me to not make any reviews until the game was released. The game in question was Deeproot Manor.



At first I was a bit hesitant to accept the request since I’m bad with horror games, but I though the simple graphics would make it easier to deal with to me, after all I managed ot beat Ino without issues. 5 minutes was all it took to realize how wrong I was.

The game’s atmosphere is really well done and you can feel the tension as soon as you get in the manor. It doesn’t help one bit that it plays with your expectations, there are times when everything is building up to a jumpscare, and you brace for it… but in the end there’s no jumpscare. The puzzles are also well-thought and you can tell they put effort on them.

In the end I was too much of a wuss to finish it but I liked what I played. Horror fans will definitely enjoy this one

congrats on the request! I’m also awful with horror games but I have a fondness for simple or pixelated graphics. This looks right up my alley, so thanks for bringing awareness to it!
