There were things about Decarnation that I truly enjoyed, but a lot more things that I did not. The puzzles, game design, art style, eldritch and body horror were all great. But the story itself was a serious letdown.

This is a well crafted experience with beautiful art, but I would argue it almost does not constitute being called a game in a traditional sense. The gameplay elements are extremely bare bones, with rhythm mini games

Looks like a lot of reviews, so just creating this for myself. This is a 'B' game. It was good and all the mini games were 'winnable'. The game seemed quite long and i was both glad and a bit sad when it ended. There
