First laid eyes on this game by mere chance about a month ago and it quickly became a personal favorite fixation ever since. At first I thought the unique visual style and the episodic format would be my favorite parts, but I wasn't ready for how good the writing and the soundtrack turned out to be. Presentation and worldbuilding are seriously impressive in this one, can't wait to see what else this universe has in store for us.

First time playing a Torture Star game, had loads of fun. Gotta love the giallo aesthetic and how unapologetically cheap are some of the scares; especially since a couple of them were lurking on a second, more thorough playthrough, so in that sense I still had plenty of fun in store after my first run.
My favorite detail has to be the grungy, run-down "70s/80s Lower East Side" bleakness of the scenery, even during the prologue. Does a great job in conveying the game's oppressive atmosphere, just as well as the music and the storytelling in my opinion.
Glad I picked this one and decided to give it a shot, looking forward to the next experience.
Excellent short-lenght experience, very rich and genuinely unnerving storytelling.
The use of the medium with the "blink and you'll miss it" details to convey the nightmare aspect has to be my favorite part. Both the simplicity as well as the more complex aspects of the visuals add a lot to the darkness of the world-building.
This one was a very pleasant surprise, it's stuff like this that make this site worthwhile.
