dopamine's trademark is all over this and I think the statement stems more clearly from Hiddow's Catharsis in the sense that this is a hellish trip in which The Kid embarks on a surreal, psychological trip back to sanity. Every chapter offers an atmospheric experience and the name of the chapters correlate fairly enough with the visuals and theme. Soundtrack is a winner. dopamine does know how to create horror from atmosphere; however, there is a punishment/trap room notorious for its imagery and score that might offend some viewers. I found it extremely eerie and caught me off guard.

Difficulty curve is ok-ish throughout, beginning very lightly in the beginning and having the most strange decisions in the Nosferatu area (I appreciate all the film references in here, tho!). Experience is short, but I guess quality matters more than quantity.

The last room is notorious for how it ramps up the difficulty randomly. I see it was nerfed and would love to see the previous version. If you know how to jump-cancel, the first corner is notoriously easy. Perhaps it was luck, but I third-tried this final room and I had one dumb death to be honest. So I clearly did not experience the previous version of the final room everyone condemned in the past.

Recommended for those looking more than just gameplay in fangames.

A really unique and atmospheric needle game, almost bordering on horror-genre in terms of visuals and style, although it is simply at its core a needle game. It left me very entertained and the constant mix-up of visuals and music kept things fresh, as well as the wacky design which made for some very satisfying needling. Would recommend giving this one a shot, as there aren't many needle games like it.

Nice game, but I wasn't quite fond of level 6, it felt way too hard compared to rest of the game and I thought background&graphics were bland. And the ending was a bit anticlimactic. Other than that this a fantastic game. We need more games like this. I have to mention the awesome and fitting soundtrack too.
