  • Fun, short indie horror game with a retro/low poly art style that some players find charming.
  • Interesting concept involving feeding a parasite to unlock new areas, providing a unique gameplay mechanic.
  • Suitable as a quick, bite-sized spooky experience, making it accessible for casual or younger players.
  • Very short duration and limited story, making the game feel more like a demo or a test project than a full experience.
  • Gameplay is repetitive and lacks depth, with bug collecting feeling tedious and the stamina mechanic frustrating and out of place.
  • Multiple bugs and glitches, including problematic controls and frequent achievement notifications that disrupt immersion.

    • “The game could have used more story and lore.”
    • “I don't mind keeping this game in my library, but I wish there was more to the story.”

    The graphics receive mixed feedback, with some appreciating the retro, low-poly art style and solid design, while others criticize the visuals as poor and lacking quality. Certain elements, like audio cues without corresponding visuals, are questioned for their execution. Overall, the graphics are seen as a stylistic choice that divides opinion.

    • “I also think the graphics are solid; I respect that it's not just an asset flip.”
    • “I'm positively surprised as I read the game's concept, and personally, I like this retro-like / low poly art style.”
    • “There was a scene where rocks start crumbling down and blocking off some tunnels, but for some reason a cutscene starts where the characters look up at the ceiling (there is no visuals for the rocks, just audio); why add this?”
    • “Graphics legitimately suck, it is not a style thing.”

    The gameplay is straightforward and somewhat repetitive, primarily revolving around managing the lantern's fuel, which is abundant and diminishes challenge. Progression involves simple fetch tasks that feel basic and lack depth, resulting in an overall uninspired gameplay experience.

    • “The only real gameplay here is managing your lantern's fuel, but it's not even a rare resource, so it just became an annoyance.”
    • “Gameplay 3/5: basic, feed the alien parasite 5 mushrooms and a section opens up; feed the alien 9 worms and section opens up; etc.”
    • “I did like the design of the game but the lantern mechanic could have been removed or something since you're never gonna run out of juice.”
  • music

    The music in the game is minimal, primarily featuring basic wind and ambient horror sounds rather than a full soundtrack. However, some players appreciated specific audio details like the biomass's distant song. Overall, the sound design is considered functional but not particularly engaging.

    • “I did like the Biomass's song from afar; that's good attention to detail.”
    • “Sound 3/5: basic wind/horror ambient sound with no music.”
  • stability
