Eu queria demais poder elogiar esse jogo, principalmente por ser de dev brasileiro e eu adoro apoiar a cena local, mas eu estaria sendo extremamente desonesta se fizesse isso. A jogabilidade é ok, a arte é muito bonita, o design dos personagens é incrível, de verdade. Mas eu simplesmente não consigo ignorar o quão mal escrito está esse jogo. Nada faz sentido (mesmo sendo surrealista, falta coesão entre um …

Aloha, This is my review for Coralina: the Wisdom of Doomsday. A retro RPG indie game with an arthouse school aesthetic and follows the titular character of Coralina through a surrealist setting with some puzzles and plenty of symbolism. That being said, the game is an RPG in the same way the Twin Peaks was a cop show, or Evangelion was about giant robots. The Good: unique art style, cool music and sound design, …

This surreal indie adventure pairs a striking retro art style with an intriguingly weird atmosphere that really draws you in. Wandering through Limbo alongside a top-hat-wearing crow makes for a genuinely memorable and charmingly quirky journey. It's a bit short and unconventional, but its creative identity makes it well worth a playthrough for fans of weird fiction.

Depois de terminar o primeiro capitulo (aparentemente), afirmo com todas as seguintes palavras: Coralina é o tipo de jogo que se aproximou tanto da ideia de jogos estilo Yume Nikki, e também de jogos com teor puxado pra abstração/filosoficos que acaba sendo por muitas vezes enjoativo de jogar. São cenários legais, soundtrack boa, mas a história é uma bagunça sem fim, que eu entendo que talvez seja de maneira …

Early on, the description says the lead writer has a interest in eventually directing movies, and it shows. Coralina feels like an experimental art-house film in the best way possible. The art style is flexible and haunting, and the dialogue feels provocative (I'm using the English translation, don't know enough Portuguese to judge that one). The setting and characters are slowly developed through the about 1-hour …

neutral · AI labelView post →I really wanted to give a thumbs-up to a Brazilian indie creator, however, I feel like I must give constructive criticism to this game. The biggest problem is it's writing, sadly it's very confusing, everything it tries to explain is very poorly executed and doesn't make that much sense to me. However, not every aspect of the game is bad, the art and its diversity is very impressive and beautiful. Hopefully, the author changes this part of the game to be a little more clear and does the same in…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →IMPORTANT!! This is the first part of the game, which means it is kind of a first chapter and the continuation of the story is currently being created, not out yet. Without rushing, I spent 3 hours playing. Coralina is an indie game available in Portuguese and even in English, which is a great point! One big thing about this game is the story. It's a very complex one with lots of characters and backstories to learn. The world Coralina is immersed in is in my view very creative and detailed. The…

neutral · AI labelView post →Coralina, developed by Gabriel Maki and published by ZNT Productions, is a narrative-driven pixel RPG that blends surreal storytelling, philosophical undertones, and exploratory gameplay into a compact but emotionally layered experience. Rather than focusing on combat systems or mechanical complexity, the game positions itself as an introspective journey through a liminal afterlife, inviting players to unravel symbolic landscapes and fragmented memories. It is less concerned with traditional…
