A short but very sweet game. Clearly the product of not only love, but pride.

I won't give too much away, as the videos and screenshots on the store page should show you enough to encourage you if you want to get it or not.

I really enjoyed the humour and unexpected kindness throughout the game. It was an enjoyable play and even though I've finished the story in four hours, I have a few achievements to get, so I'll replay for those.

If you'd told kid-me I'd be playing a game about cleaning when I was an adult, I'd ask if all the real cleaning was done by robots...

This is a cracker of a game! Tragically over too soon, but so satisfying! All the fun of a game and none of the 'eeeiw, I stepped in someone' of real cleaning XD

I'd love to see more of this kind of game. DLC, or straight-out sequels. The simplicity is fantastic, and every time I try to think of a suggestion it rapidly snowballs into something totally different.

The Dev knows their stuff and I'm glad to have bought a few games "just because they're made by the same guy" and am yet to be disappointed in any of them!

Dev's cannot act indiscriminately without repercussion!
The changes in the TOS mean if you don't agree, you can't play a game that you previously could.
Therefore this change means I can no longer play a game I have paid for!

Review accordingly to all aspects of the game as published and currently played (or not, in this case)

Anyone who loves a good puzzle should know Supraland. 6 inches under is MORE puzzles and less combat.
Have to admit, I struggled with a few of them.

Metroidvania, puzzler, platformer... oh, and some fantastic humour.
Proud to have sunk nearly a whole day into this marvellous game and glad to do it again whenever they make another, or DLC

having just 'completed' survival mode (by doing all the things) I am now just going to go back and play sandbox a bunch more.

The game is a very slow-burn for development time, but it is very fun to play and I'm more than happy to have supported the DEVs since early on.

Looking forward to more gameplay wise, but the biggest parts of this game come from the players' own imaginations...
For me, that means this is a VERY good game. Even if I spent all my survival time making a drivable base haha!

The game in and of itself is... an experience... You need to get into the right mindset and take this on its own. No comparing to other games and only looking deeper within the world of Scorn itself... Including the Art book.

The ending is... tragically underwhelming considering the build-up.
The game feels a bit too much like the entropy of my own life, and as such I find a rather melancholy connection to it...

However, those of you who aren't experiencing a slow stagnation into physical and mental decay, you may glean more of the beauty and enjoyment of the game...

Painfully short, horrifically graphic and graphically stunning.

Rest in peace, herr Giger

For lovers of the 'mysterious box that keeps on opening' genre, this game is a MUST HAVE.
Surprisingly, I first played this on my phone... Still not sure which interface was more intuitive, but I prefer PC for the solidness of knowing I am actually tapping (in this case clicking) where I want to. Fiddly little bits are fiddly after all.

A sharp eye is needed for these kinds of games and I'm grateful that I have it... what I don't have, apparently, is any luck with sliding puzzles. the only puzzle i had to skip, to my shame...

Not sure why you're still reading. What more is there to review?
Story? I'm sorry, but we're not playing the game for the paragraph (or even long line) of storyline there is. We're here to flip tiny switches, find keys and use those keys on ever shrinking keyholes. Perhaps even needing to open something in our inventory.

What would make this game better? Nothing. It's awesome. I'd love sequels! It's stunning to look at and the different styles is surprisingly diverse and engaging.

And yet... You're still reading this? I commend your attentiveness to the reviews, but really, this game deserves more of your concentration than my rambling monologue.
If you like games like this, grab it. If not... Go play something you do like.

That said... thank you for reading to the end. I'm surprised you finished reading this. Kudos to you and I hope that whoever you are, wherever you are, you are having a good time and that you can find some measure of joy in anything you do next.

short and sweet... I have no idea why the keyboard makes music, I love the random books and after nearly dropping my laptop, i found a key combination! A great little game that I'd love to see more of its ilk.

(Playing this on my potato of a laptop, I have had to nerf graphics and play it on postage-stamp quality, but it's still fun.)

What I took to be a silly little game turned out to be one heck of a wild ride! I think I got lucky and might have turned up at the best possible time for this, as a massive (and wholly positive) update has just landed, as well as a DLC that I'm pretty darned tempted to buy without even seeing yet!

I learned more playing this about steam power than anywhere else too! I only grabbed it to show my young son how 'Thomas the Tank Engine' goes about...
Honestly, the Dev (and any others involved with this) outdid themselves with this update and I'm hoping to support them all buy buying the DLC

I want to like this game so much... but when the notifications bar has given me the same notification for the tenth time without anything clearer than a smoke signal... It's clear that what I'm expecting is clearly too much to ask.

I want to know how my resources are doing. Am I running out of something? I have to go into the refinery screen to see what I have. Or start building and *poof* not enough resources.
I want to know WHICH of my meeples is stressed. So go look through the list myself.
I want to know why this guy's stress isn't going down... I can't tell him to not go somewhere, I cant tell him to go somewhere. I can't tell the daft little brainless bot to stop going to the room literally full of poop and complaining about it!

Promise unrealised and two years on, this feels like there is a whole other menu missing.
Lack of control, prioritisation, organisation and watching these little berks run around like ants on cocaine has tragically gotten old pretty fast.
