Yames' first secret game available via supporting their patreon. i played with a rotund orange cat sitting in my lap.

Yames excels at pinpoint accuracy horror experiences and communicates much within only a few minutes, and his love for those afflicted by the unknown is strong in their prose. viewing the world through a dithered two-toned lens, a sinew-like writhing strand extends from the player character and descends deeper into a yawning chasm. The Well is honest about its length from the outset, but manages to deliver a disquieting atmosphere through thoughtful use of tension and release, immersive minimal sound design, and stylised presentation which invites the player the fill in the horrifying blanks.

An embarrassingly impotent experience where you can at one point pet a cat.

A short horror story that ramps up slowly but ends abruptly.

un recurso del horror lovecrafteano es la indescriptibilidad de algunas cosas y el autor lo retrata muy bien con los graficos ruidosos y glitcheados que usa
