Still, visually it’s quite magnificent. Flayed corpses and ribs and towering statues that pray to fleshy sacks. One of the first things you’ve got to do in the demo is run around this arena and figure out what tendril or eyeball goes into what meat pocket, but it’s not outrageously difficult - which is good. That was one of my gripes with Scorn, in that its puzzling was sometimesveryobtuse. I know I’ve only played a bit of Necrophosis, but it seems far less intimidating off the bat.
And while I’m no sucker for these sorts of puzzles games, I found myself pressing on with the demo. Besides a bit too much of monsters speaking in riddles, I liked seeing the outcomes of my weird deeds. Like when I fired a bone cannon at a crucifix, then plugged the brain of the corpse into a bone crab. Or when I plucked eyes out of some walls, then granted the gift of life to an abnormal pelvis.
There’s no release date on Necrophosis yet, but you can give its demo a go onSteam.
