zeocin rated Geonocturn: The Boiler

zeocin rated a game 2 years ago
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS.

[Reviewed from the Experimental 1.3 builds] Fun and charming, and surprisingly deeper than it lets on at first! Every run so far gives enough hook and enough reward to make one hanker for the next -- the sign of a proper roguelite. The charming characters and narrative also adds to the motivation for "one more run". I also enjoy the trust the game has in the player being observant enough to notice details and learn what works well, especially in a genre where gamification can take away from the fun of figuring things out and discovery. Yet it never punishes the bumbling player like myself... too much, at least!
