Exploring the map, finding ways to optimize your blood gain, using the random selection of items you obtain to create stepping-stone paths to get to out of the way areas were all really interesting.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
6 of 97 sampled reviews raised it
The developers nailed the presentation and atmosphere - the sound effects and visuals are stylized and juicy, perfect for the kind of game we’re in store for!
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 97 sampled reviews raised it
Great sound design, artwork, gameplay isn't bad and really kept me interested way longer than it had any right to, considering it's just a connect the dots type deal.
