Here’s a breakdown of the 1.0 version fromthe Steam page:
Explore Mostyn House to gather weapons, distractions, magical artifacts, keys, and crafting materials.
Take on a huge cast of monsters and bosses - overgrown undead, invisible ghosts, devious witches, axe wielding madmen, and many more.
Meet a cast of strange friends, merchants, liars, and witches each with their own agenda.
Cast a wide variety of spells - create hex traps on closet doors, enchant suits of armor to assist you, or create a decoy mimic of yourself.
Greater dangers - and greater treasures - await you in the hedge mazes, tombs, caves, churches, and ruins beyond the Mostyn House grounds.
Withering Rooms may not wet your whistle if you’re after Souls-grade combat, but it’s more substantial than you might guess from the protagonist’s initially puny appearance (although if you’re familiar withAmerican McGee’s Alice, the other game I referenced in the headline, you’ll know that pale young girls in horror games are to be kept at arm’s length). You can hold up a book of scripture to repel the phantoms, equip a shield for some classic sword-and-board exchanges, or just hide behind some rearground curtains if you don’t fancy tangling with, for example, a witch wearing a cage.
Withering Rooms rejoices in an Overwhelmingly Positive Steam reviewer reception at the time of writing, and can apparently be played through on Steam Deck, though the developers are still waiting for Valve to Verify it for portable play. Unconvinced? Away with you then to our list of thebest horror games, which is bursting with alternatives.
