Heliophobia Reviews

Not bad. Not bad at all. Especially for a single-person project. It took me about 5 hours to finish the game, and I spent about $5 on it, so no complaints. It was actually longer than I thought it would be. A few random thoughts. I have a vague idea of the story, but nothing is really clear. It seems like a simple story told in a non-linear, convoluted way. Or maybe it's a complex story told in a non-linear, convoluted way. Once I got to some platforming sections, I fully expected the game to break down. However, these sections are designed well enough that they aren't frustrating at all. A few sequences took numerous tries. The stealth/chase sequences were also relatively painless. They're on the easier side, but some took me quite a few tries to figure out. There's a fair amount of variety to the gameplay. Exploration, puzzles, platforming, stealth, chase, reading. None of the levels outstay their welcome. A few come close, but the game has a good sense of progression. You can play a bunch of levels at a time, or just play one and get through it in a limited amount of time. [h1]Conclusion[/h1] I don't remember how I heard about this game, probably from a random comment in a Steam forum on another random game. But I'm glad I found this game. It took me about a year to finally play the game after buying it. The game reminds me most of [i]Soma[/i] or the Amnesia series, although less mechanically complex and with a much lower budget. But everything is executed well enough to make this a solid recommendation with few complaints. I'll probably get the developer's other game [i]Ad Infernum[/i] soon enough.
