Edge of Sanity Reviews

It's a fantastic game!

Good but not good enough. The atmosphere is a strong, but the game play is weak. Jump on platform, climb up roots, stab thing in back, push button, exit door. Grind out resources on non-random maps.

Still early in the game, but what we have here is a 2d platformerish type game that has some slight Inside vibes with Lovecraftian horror. It has a crafting system and different ways to deal with enemies, stealth, direct melee throwing weapons. The melee ones have a durability system and when worn completely, they break, but can be repaired with the right unlockable recipe. There is also a trauma system, as you encounter enemies, stress level builds and you get your typical lovecraftian traumas, the final one being your death. loot varies if your killed and have to do a do over. there are 2 modes of play, the basic one where you can save in your camp, and the more brutal one where it only autosaves as you progress story wise. if you screw up, your stuck with the consequences. When on a level, you can return for loot that you either can't pick up due to being full or other things that have a benefit (why would you waste something that removes 90% of your stress when its barely full) Save it and hit that before leaving the level, which once a level is cleared, you can't return to that exact same location. Story wise I'm engrossed, if on the fence, thats what your freindly neighborhood playthrough is for, Only watched one for 3 minutes to determine "yep my tkind of game".
