Imprisoned in your apartment, forced to experience the same five days on an endless loop, you wonder if there is some featherlight at the end of this dim tunnel. Things beyond your control brought you here. Facial to face in relation to the past, waking up to his view seems to be a facade placed on a broken mirror, which is your broken mind. I do not want to look at myself or face the truth, but spending eternity in this prison, which I call home, also solves nothing.

Something must change. Self -characteristics and memory of loved ones, whose memories are now lost in frosty, loneliness of the mind are part of the internal journey to revival, acceptance and forgiveness. The history of insulation, both suffocating and blinding, shows a very human struggle to come to terms with the loss of someone. You feel the walls closing, your eyes are not able to see a full picture, or maybe unable to do it because of denial and regret.

This is CookedPsychological game of the Horror Bren Bird Games. Quite recent edition (July 22), Cooked He is Spanish for “mourning”. This horror game really surprised me for all the right reasons. I played a demo in 2022 and I was impressed CookedGreat graphics and polished physics. When it was clear Cooked He tried to frighten the entire white sheet again and achieved it thanks to good terror and the promising atmosphere, he did nothing that we had not seen before in the titles Pt Or Layers of fear. In 2022, Cooked Fits every other psychological horror. I was looking forward to its full release, but I didn’t have much hope that it was more than Pt copy.

The supersaturation of psychological horrors Walking SIM reduced the impact of every recent edition in this subspecies of video games. Fortunately, Bird Bird Games made a brilliant decision to expand its species and avoid what happened before him.

CookedThe whole narrative and style derive many tips on cinematography and film design. There is a clever exploit of cinema bars that I have never seen before, which not only creates a more film experience, but also strengthens Samuel’s immersion in the minds, thanks to which the whole environment is even more reliable. This, plus the obvious nod, that we play a video game through errors and defects that are intentionally, that we feel as if we were crazy with Sam, producing Cooked I feel more like a mixture Pt AND Imscared.

Luto Broken Mirror from Smiley Post-Im Note in his center

Passion alone to create movies is present all the time. He is in the environment, the choice of narrator and constant cinema bars that are there to show his confined psyche. The narrator should remind each independent fan of the iconic parable of Stanley. It was also not in a demo version, but it worked in a story about internal struggles, a screenwriter with love, loss and regret. Luto is full of amazing, surprising moments that made it impressed by a similar feeling Karma: The Dark World.

Although it is extremely artistic and often abstract in its project, Cooked It is extremely deep. It contains many emotional moments scattered in dim paintings and a powerful dialogue, they all take place in Samuel’s mind, which blur the boundaries between sleep and reality, when the past bleeds as a reminder of things that he wants to forget. It is effortless to think and compare the struggle with your own.

Spirit with the moon behind him in Luto

This is not a particularly terrifying title because it maintains a mighty identity of being more like art than a video game. It has an amazing atmosphere thanks to excellent lighting and cleverly placed jumps. There are cases (though not much) that really made me feel tight, such as the smart exploit of video tapes and moments of playing game. Luto effectively uses a fault and multimedia so that you feel as if you were really trapped in your mind alone or play in a cursed game that knows you too well. This is a very finish with burying worms and is fully aware that it shows the horrors of mind. So much that I often smiled when I realized how to go to the next section.

This is a personal journey that I am currently going through. I am grateful CookedA lovely representation of psychological horror and coming at a time when I also feel surprised by my darkest thoughts, faith in escape may not be execut if I can’t come to terms with my own regret.
