A Game That Will Surprise You
I started playing Dungeons of Dreadrock with an expectation that it would be just another pixel-art dungeon crawler game, but it turned out to be a completely different experience (in a positive way). The atmosphere, music, and the story narration accompanied with an amazing voice-over are perfectly complementing the story which is also very well written! For a long time I didn't get this feeling of surprise while playing a small indie game. Although it's not exactly small - there are around 100 levels in this game and each level has a unique puzzle to solve. Some of these puzzles made me feel really smart whenever I managed to figure it out by myself. The game forces you to think outside of the box right from the start and the first 10 levels have one of the most intuitive and seemless tutorial sections in my opinion.
Almost every detail in this game have its purpose and you gotta pay close attention to a lot of details in order to solve some of the mind-blowing puzzles. I also like how the developer puts a lot attention to small touches like when the character leaves a bloody trail whenever you walk through a dead monster's body or funny protagonist's comments when you examine various objects of interest. Her comments are always hillarious.
I totally recommend checking this game out since it's free and if you enjoy playing it then you can even consider supporting the developer by buying an ad-free version of the game! Let's all support indie developers a bit more so that we can all enjoy amazing games like Dungeons of Dreadrock.
