    Lamentum is equal parts frightening and enticing, serving up a scintillating world filled with Lovecraftian horrors and remnants of old school Resident Evil and Silent Hill. It is a must-play for any fans of the genre looking for challenging gameplay, deep mythos, and an alluring narrative.

    Lamentum is an interesting survival horror that has some room for improvement, but manages to deliver a fun pixel-art adventure for fans of the genre.

    Lamentum’s story and puzzle-solving challenges do feel too much like a rehash of those very same games that inspired it. In some ways, being an almost 1-1 repetition. However, thanks to its spine-chilling atmosphere and old-school survivor horror mechanics, it does play like a survival horror game from the 1990s. So if you like those, this is definitely the game for you.

    Lamentum is a fine debut that happens to serve a very specific fanbase, the same players who will celebrate its lack of trusty modern gameplay conveniences.

    The best thing about this game is the setting and the story. The pixel art graphics do the job and the music is quite good. As a drawback I could say that the combat is too "rough" but in summary it is a great game.    … Full Review »
