Claustrophobia the game, beating this nightmare gave me a new perspective on life, anything better than being stuck in the tiny tunnels. It feels like the world-building is intentionally empty or lacking the character to create a feeling of uncomfortable space and anxiety. It slightly reminded me of HellNight for PS1, mostly because 90% of this game...
It's a shame Phrixothrix went unnoticed, despite the big boom of the "rustcore" indie horror games about ancient bunkers, paranoia and subtle terror.
Because this game is all of that distilled into the dark (like, actually pitch black) underground network of tunnels from the perspective of a person trying to escape using a small (bio?)mechanical worm.
There's...
Before you start playing, get a pen and paper. You're going to want a map, and the game will NOT make one for you.
Point&click style exploration focused puzzle game where you wake up in strange place with no memory or information about anything. You'll be operating mechanical worm to explore your surroundings.
Great atmosphere and fun concept, Nothing beats supporting indie devs especially for a price point of 4 dollars
