Imagine a video game with an actual sense of mise en scène, and you get Critters for Sale. I am thankful that it existed for me in this timeline more than I necessarily enjoyed it. Felt a lot like a confident debut album by a band influenced by all of my favorites: cosmic horror, liminal space, warped vaporwave, the occult, casinos, death grips...nailing the exuberant alchemy of it all, even if limited by the production budget of an itch.io solo developer. Color me excited to see what Sonoshee brings to a sophomore effort, which I really really really hope escapes the confines of point-and-click.
