I stumbled across this one while scoping out the <u>Quebec Games Celebration</u> this week, and the weirdness of the art immediately had me hooked. Horripilant is an incremental dungeon crawler (which I THINK is a fancy way of not saying “Roguelite”), with a strange pixel art style that also somehow manages to feel like hand painted ink nightmares with a dot matrix vibe. Yeah, it’s a lot. Pulling from classic dungeon crawlers, this one looks super weird and delightful.
Worth mentioning that there is a demo for this one on Steam, but I haven’t had a chance to play it myself yet.
Who am I?
Former game journalist, current game dev who wants to put a spotlight on games. Indie games are struggling to get enough coverage. I run a weekly newsletter of games I find that look cool called Indie Dispatch.
Incremental games are games like Cookie Clicker, where you gradually upgrade various systems to make your number go up.
This looks like it was inspired by Vermis.
I never really got into game books, but yeah this looks pretty rad!
