You find yourself in your motel room, but nothing seems right. The walls, the floors, everything is falling apart. You must do what you can to survive and reach the exit. TERMINUS is a PSX-styled survival horror game in the veins of classic titles such as Silent Hill, developed by Hades and adc.

Great for beginners and Pixel Art artists transitioning to 3D modeling, with an accessible tile-based workflow suited for low-poly and retro-styled models.
Lightweight and intuitive interface once the learning curve is overcome; extensive documentation, active developer support, and community resources including tutorials and Discord.
Effective for creating low-poly environments, tiles, and animations quickly, with live texture editing, easy UV mapping, and frequent updates improving features.

Steep and unintuitive initial learning curve with confusing default controls, unusual keybindings, and difficult camera/navigation that frustrate new users.
UI/UX is cluttered, dated, and sometimes non-standard; the tool lacks some conventional modeling features (like extrude, bevel, easy selection modes) and suffers from occasional bugs and instability.
Price is considered high relative to the feature set by some users, especially given free alternatives that can be more powerful; some key functionalities and workflow aspects can be cumbersome or overcomplicated.

The graphics aspect is praised for its specialized focus on retro, low-poly, pixel-art aesthetics reminiscent of PS1 and N64 eras. The tile-based system and customizable interface make it accessible and efficient for beginners and fans of nostalgic 3D styles, with ample tutorials to support learning. Overall, it is highly recommended for developers seeking to create authentic old-school 3D visuals.
- “Highly recommend for anyone who wants to get a start in 3D software, or for fans of PS1 and N64 era graphics in general.”
- “The tile-based approach is brilliant for anyone working on retro-styled 3D games, and it’s perfect for creating environments or characters with a nostalgic, pixel-art aesthetic.”
- “It's a very handy tool for recreating old school 3D graphics in art projects, movies, and games. Crocotile 3D is easy to use, with lots of video tutorials available on the official YouTube page, and the buttons can be customized to match Blender and Godot to simplify the workflow.”

The game demonstrates solid performance even in complex scenes featuring extensive lighting and shaders, indicating good optimization. However, users note that some tools integrated, originally designed for photo editing rather than pixel art, may not be fully optimized for this specific use.
- “Performance is solid even with complicated scenes with a lot of lighting and shaders.”

Grinding in the game is considered slow and tedious, especially when creating more complex geometry, leading to a time-consuming and frustrating experience.
