Withering Rooms Reviews

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!

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 great survival horror game. The game has great story and atmosphere, although it is not that scary. It takes a lot of influence form classic survival horror games and bloodborne. The puzzles are pretty good but i would not buy the game just for them. The story is great and I would buy it if you are the least bit interested in it from the trailer.

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.

[h2] Withering Rooms[/h2] Another hidden gem on Steam in the survival horror genre, and a roguelike on top of that. In my opinion, it’s the best indie survival horror of the year, and possibly one of the best in general. The 2.5D presentation with highly stylish art and visuals, excellent narrative, engaging location exploration, and a dream-related theme (which I personally find very appealing) make me want to praise and recommend this game to anyone who hasn’t tried it yet. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3508482751 Honestly, when I first launched it, I expected a 5 to 10 hour experience with nice visuals, some wandering around, minimal combat, and light puzzles. Instead, I got a full-fledged 20 plus hour adventure with New Game Plus, a new ending, and a branching finale, leaving me completely delighted with the game. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3508482636 It’s stylish, dark, features build crafting, and has a fairly large cast of c haracters along with unique locations. I strongly recommend it to anyone who loves survival horror, this is a must-play, a true work of art.
