released on Oct 06, 2023
Brush Burial is a lo-fidelity First Person Snatcher. You play as Fennel, a knife-wielding swamp devil with an eye for gold and a penchant for violence. Use your tail to toy with your prey: grab and fling objects, climb impossible heights, and knock your enemies off balance.

I really appreciated this game's visuals and atmosphere, and the first act was really fun to explore. Sneakin', stabbin', stealin'. Very fun time there.
The second act was really rough as it's based around a really layered and obtuse puzzle that involves a lot of repetition and guesswork. I enjoyed picking apart the puzzle and meeting it on its own terms, but it just annihilated the game's pacing and didn't have any of the fun frantic combat that the first act had.
I've been reading the dev's posts on Steam and it seems like they're open to the feedback they've been getting on this second act, so hopefully it'll get cleaned up a bit more in the future. There's a lot to like about this game and a cleaned up Act 2 would make it easier to recommend to my friends who love this sort of indie. I really liked it despite its flaws and I'm glad I pushed past the rough second bit to finish the game.
