What players are saying

Positive

  • this is a nice simple horror game where you play as an archeologist who, for some reason, is dumb enough to mess with foreign objects. theres literally a saying that you arent supposed to touch things that dont belong to you, and this game is basically proof of why. the children of clay is a fun little game to play when you dont really know what else to do and want something creepy without committing to a super long game. theres achievements to get, hidden clues to find, and little details that make you want to look around and figure out whats actually going on. its also a very light game and isnt hard to run on a laptop at all. i play basically all of my games on a laptop, so i always notice when a game runs smoothly. overall its simple, creepy, easy to run, and has that kind of 'scary" where you already know touching something is probably a terrible idea, but you do it anyway because apparently curiosity always wins. did i mention its FREE?

  • a unique and introspective stand alone game that takes occult vibes and old runic alphabets to create a fun and unnerving puzzle environment

  • A extremely interesting concept for a game. Gathering information wasn't too challeging. Though the last part I had such a hard time finding which turns, but I'm not sure if that was part of the game.
