If you are expecting anything similar to Machinarium or Samorost than skip this game. The visuals and audio can carry this game for a while but at the end it is not enough. It is a one trick pony and even the short time can't replace the lack of good puzzles. The last thing I expected from this studio is to make puzzles where I must maniacally spin my mouse like it was a lasso. The puzzles are ok but they all come …

Sweet Nightmares Happy Game is a masterclass in psychological horror that completely subverts its cheerful title. From Amanita Design, the creators behind surreal masterpieces like Botanicula and the delightfully chaotic Chuchel, comes this psychedelic horror adventure that feels like playing through a child's nightmare, beautifully rendered in a twisted cartoon art style. https://youtu.be/fVfln7WeVxc The game's …

PROS: + cool dark puzzles + eerie soundtrack + Amanita after dark + great on Steam Deck + gore and disturbing images CONS: - a LOT of flashing lights - rather short game time - some themes might be too much - gore and disturbing images Comment: I got this game in the Amanita bundle, thought I would complete the collection. As a horror movie fan I believed it would entice me in some way. Also, I had fun with other …

I would say short and sweet, but the game is really disturbing with the images of murder, death, massacre... and that is a good thing. Just dont play this with your kids. Amanita knows how to do great adventures with beautiful visuals and now they used it for a short horror game. More games like this.

Disturbing in a very original way, mutating the vocabularies of horrific and cute into a genuinely fresh experience that at the same time doesn't neglect its gameplay design.

neutral · AI labelView post →The review consists not only of a look at the game played, but also of personal experience and opinion. This is just the author's opinion. The game has been completed with 100% achievements. The game is not like other classics from Amanita Design studio?! An extraordinary game from the studio attracted me, but I didn’t expect what I saw. Honestly, I have mixed feelings about the game. At the very least, this isn't horror or psychedelia, but simply some kind of schizophrenia going on in…
