Luckily, the main character can avoid most of the enemies, without carefully depleting the stamina in the worst moment, or can rely on melee weapons and rare firearms to kill the threat. From snail women to grotesque abomination of flesh and tentacles, every enemy of the well-variegated pack is an intimidating discovery. Lamentum’s enemies are definitively inspired by Lovecraft, but always showing personality and an original design.

And of course, the mansion where the game takes place is not empty, but full of disturbing creatures roaming the corridors and the gardens. This setting is totally fitting for a horror game, enhancing all the terrifying aspects of the atmosphere. So forget about torchlights and automatic guns and be prepared for lanterns and slow muskets. Lamentum also offers a very unique setting inside the Victorian ages, with a huge and decadent mansion to explore. And every detail is portrayed with amazing pixel art. Starting from a giant mansion to freely explore, to puzzles that often will need pen-and-paper to be solved, a proper fighting system, and even limited saves, Lamentum has everything that a survival horror fan should dream about. Created by the two-persons team of Obscure Tales, Lamentum is a jump back to how an old-school survival horror should be designed.
If in the previous years Blasphemous and Yuppie Psycho were two representative examples, this year is the time of Lamentum.
Spain is becoming an amazing place for indie horror games in pixel art.
