Short, sweet, and tough as nails. I've tried to beat this for the last two years on and off, and I'm really glad I finally beat it. It's a bit repetitive and linear at times, but when it shows it's true hand, it's phenomenal. The dungeons are great, although some rooms repeat, and the combat system blends pinball and top-down hack-n-slash. It had me pulling out my hair at times, so the difficulty is definitely there. It's really creative and cool, and the ending is beautifully simple. I really really enjoyed it, I just wish there was more.

If it were a bit longer and more diverse, it would easily be rated higher. I feel like there's so much you can do with this concept, and it just scratches the tip of the iceberg. It's a great 6ish hours of gameplay if you collect everything, and I enjoyed every bit of it. If there's ever a Creature in the Well 2, I'd be there day one!
