Haustoria Reviews

https://www.reddit.com/r/Lovecraft/comments/18rys1j/haustoria_the_one_who_consume/ "Haustoria would likely be ignored for its simplicity. However, beyond its approach is an unexpected Junji Ito-inspired rhythmic story across this picture-book world of windmills, mesmerising in a spiral of madness."

Nice puzzle platformer, reminiscent of Braid and Limbo, interesting and innovative thumbtack mechanic. Narratively and artstyle-wise it reminds me of Child of Light, with the rhymes and tale-like handdrawn style. Also Gris, from Nomada studio. For that price it was a welcome and enjoyable experience.

Loved the artwork and music in the game. The puzzles were also really fun, and I enjoyed the thumbtack mechanic. Definitely recommended!

Nice puzzles, great game! I like the artwork. Strange and creepy. If you liked Limbo, you’ll enjoy this.

Its ok. really liked the art style from the store page. i thought that maybe there would be some crazy dark meaning because of the creepy art style or telling maybe a dark story but it wasn't. once u kinda understand this "meaning" the game drags on forever. there are a couple of different types of puzzles that are kinda fun. not enough enough fun to justify the length. halfway through, i just started speed running it to get to the end faster. i feel this game could be cool maybe following a sad story through the eyes of a young child maybe? just a thought. but yeah overall kinda felt like a waste of time unless ur into mid puzzles that you control by locking objects to your character and running in different directions. maybe fun if you have time to kill. game Meh

I'm a casual gamer and don't play too many 2D Platformer games but I thoroughly enjoyed this. The game wasn't too difficult where I wanted to smash my head against the wall with the puzzles. Some of the puzzles provided me just enough challenge that forced me stop and think until I realized what to do. **Mind you, I'm terrible at puzzles... Art style is great especially since it's hand drawn. You can definitely tell a lot of work was put into this indie game and it's a real pleasure to look at as you progress. With only being $5 don't expect a very long adventure. It took me almost 2 hours to complete and there's a bonus area that was pretty neat to check out. I did not finish it so I'm not sure how much longer it would take to complete but it's not very forgiving so I'll leave it there. If you're one of those people that want to have some fun and support a smaller developer starting out, check this one out!
