Smintheus Reviews

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happineass of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay. After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like. Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends. Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together. Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that. Thank you.

A mixture of action and relaxing. You can even ALT-TAB out of the game and enjoy it while doing something else. ^^ But playing the game is better. ...Gotta find more cheeeeeese now. :)

Been following this game and the developer over the past few years and bought the game when it came out. While I don't have much gaming time lately, the game relies on short-but-sweet levels to allow playing it in short bursts if you need. It's an puzzle-adventure game that for some reason reminds me of Commodore Amiga in terms of visuals and audio. It's not very difficult, but it'll take a few minutes to get used to the rules of this game, and how to deal with traps, puzzles, and other challenges.

This game plays like a 2005 flash game. I'm sure the dev put $15 of effort into the game but it certainly does not feel like a $15 experience. Quit mid-way through the 3rd level. Negatives: - Fairly unresponsive controls that made you feel like you were walking too far when you shouldn't be (the game punishes you for walking into water walls which makes the unresponsive controls the more painful) - Graphics look like some kind of first-draft pixel art - Weird tutorial that has you attempt to unlock doors only to *then* allow you to collect keys for them? Positives: - Bug free (as far as my experience goes!)

The start of the game felt quite janky and it's mechanics bugged me out. I especially hated how the water works since it just didn't feel intuitive from a gameplay sense. Later on it feels its gotten better, and it has it's fun moments from time to time. Still I felt there is a lack of real focus on what it wants to be. Maybe those who are into adventure puzzle games may enjoy it, but I was here more for the RPG aspect which felt quite lacking. Maybe take it during a sale, as I don't think its worth the full price.
