Withering Rooms Reviews

This is truly an amazing game. Just a blast, run through 3 times and I can't stop playing. Severely underrated, more people need to give it a chance. It doesn't look on the outside like something some people will enjoy but giving it a try anyway is worth it. Making builds throughout the game is incredibly fun, tweaking stats and aligning bonuses to the best effect. The story is interesting, the combat can be frustrating at first but after getting used to it and figuring out how to effectively fight it becomes very enjoyable.

Legitimately unique, mad underrated. Combat is charmingly rough but the real fun is the puzzles and finding loot. Really nifty curse mechanic, that is comparable to insight from bloodborne, but way more volatile. Setting is interesting, gameplay loop so far hasn't gone stale wake up dude, death is not the end

A little janky but super cool and original. Hopefully there will be more like this.

One of the few games that proves something really good could be made using the "jank stock unity" aesthetic, for one developer this game is extremely impressive. Combat is ass though, everything else is quite nice and really impressively made

Very fun and easy to follow occult story with extremely fun class building and combat.

Very fun game, takes a little bit to get used to, but after that it's a blast.

Definitely play the demo before buying to see if it's for you. Can be buggy at points, but well worth buying on sale. I really enjoyed it!

This game is SOOO GOOD! IF you enjoy a survival horror aesthetic, mixed with the designs of a rogue-like and game play mechanics similar to a souls like, you will be in love with this game. I absolutely love the unlocking shrines with certain offerings to unlock how many items you remember when u die and start over. Its such a clever and unique mechanic and i cant stop playing this game, cannot wait for the release date for their next game withering realms to launch too! I'm About to reach chapter 3 at the time of this review and i'm just having too much fun with this game! originally tried the demo first and cleared the first boss and the demo ending completely sold it for me! Amazing game, don't miss out! =)

Oh boy, what can i say about this game? It is such a hard game to explain and even more convey what makes it so much fun, this was made by one person, and its such a dense game, the amount of work, theres almost 100 unique enemies, yea some look similar but they are totally diferent models, the amount of areas, shifting areas with the curse mechanic, the music oh the music is just so good, so many creppy and moody tracks. It is such a mic of genres that is very hard to sell this game with a handfull of words, it is a horror game, in the sense that it is horror themed, you are in a bad position most of the time, but you are not defensless, it is a game where failure wont stop you but will make you have respect to the games dificulty, and it will greatly reward you. It is such a unique experience its just a game you have to get to understand fully, no reviews or videos will make it justice. I cant wait for Withering Realms

Boy did this game deliver. I really didn't know how much I missed a convoluted occult story that's still completely coherent and doesn't need huffing paint to understand. The combat can be a tad clunky and unbalanced at times, but it's still very good and enjoyable once you get into the tempo and gather some equipment. It mostly revolves around several build archetypes that you can build into with levels and gear, and the further you get into the game, the more tools you get to get the broken result you need to beat the obnoxious NG+ hardmode enemies. There's also a lot of QoL stuff that allows you to change your gear with a press of a button, allowing for some really fluid multi-build combat. All in all, game is very creative in both combat, equipment management and gameplay aspects. The style is consistent and vaguely reminds me of some weird horror games from 00s, but I can never quite put my finger on it. And the story does the "bits and pieces" storytelling, but actually makes an effort to tie those pieces together, so you easily get the whole picture by the end, which is surprisingly remarkable for this storytelling style. One of those weird unknown gems you find randomly and that overdelivers 5 times over once you play it.
