    The Mundaun experience on Nintendo Switch was very pleasant and the portable option seems to me the best to play this adventure. It's a great indie game to consider.

    Mundaun comes recommended for fans of adventure and horror with its unique, striking aesthetic and appreciable chunk of optional secrets. A lack of direction or specificity in how to complete some objectives may bore or frustrate other players though.

    Mundaun didn’t quite grip me the way I would have liked, however it’s clear to see why it has for so many. There’s an appreciation that stems from bold new efforts, and I recommend seeing if it’s for you.

Lo stile, i mostri, la scrittura e il senso di esplorazione sono molto unici e legati bene tra loro. Non sono mai stato un fan dei giochi horror in prima persona, ma Mundaun è un gioco che ha carattere e una gran personalità. I finali alternativi premiano sia dando al giocatore più informazioni oppure mostrandogli conseguenze negative non aspettate. Molto bello, un gioco che mi ha colpito e che è sicuramente stato fatto con passione!… Full Review »

The great hand-drawn black-and-white aesthetic fits the pretty empty and bleak space you’ll find yourself in, though the barrenness of the environments doesn’t always feel so stylistic as just lacking in detail. If you’re looking for jump scares and thrills you’ll also want to steer clear as this relies more on tension and a growing sense of dread than pop scares, so just be sure to have an idea of what to realistically expect in terms of play. The exploration and puzzles can be a bit obtuse and leave you meandering about wondering what to do next at times but on the whole the experience is surely a unique one, and that at least has some merit.

It's really like nothing I've played before.

    In terms of gameplay there was a lot to enjoy. The puzzles aren't too challenging but add some variety and save points are quite common so dying doesn't feel like a big setback. The ability to upgrade characteristics like aim and resistance to fear was a nice touch. I did over time come to fear some of the in game enemies as well which was nice. It wasn't an overly scary game but it's certainly a gripping one.

    I found there were some really interesting choices presented which affect the ending in pretty important ways. There are also some great setpieces throughout and a couple of incredibly effective jumpscares.

    My only real criticisms would be that it's a little short and the loading screens (which are pretty infrequent) can be long. All in all it's definitely worth picking up if you appreciate horror or just want something different.    … Full Review »
