Perishment - A Freaky 2D Survival Horror Game Set in a Cursed Apartment Block That You Can't Escape!

[@I00Cake]

I dunno why but it's nice to watch Alpha Beta Gamer's gameplays because I feel like he's there, he's just silently sitting there with his face all flat lol

[@michellegong3755]

I like how our character is utterly unimpressed, like she continues walking in a casual manner and doesn’t scream on her own...

[@KyokujiFGC]

Yeah, the running animation is kind of a tension killer, lol

except for when she's torn apart

[@MusicoftheDamned]

The fact that Lily says nothing about the body disappearing or the tide of red-tinted water from a locked room that's preceded by some loud banging on its door in an otherwise empty apartment are weirder than this apartment being cursed.

[@Jackblade42]

It's even stranger when she doesn't mention that, but she'll ponder if a leaking pipe in the basement is up to regulations. Glad to know she has her priorities in order.

[@MusicoftheDamned]

@@Jackblade42 Well, part of her rent *should* be going into upkeep of the building, so her priorities make perfect sense given the missing dead body and equally unexplained & eerie blood-tide are just free bonus features. /s

[@mrblah197]

And her clothes were still clean!!

[@Anarch_E]

It's still a demo though. I think those would be fixed or added when the full game comes out.

[@MusicoftheDamned]

@@Anarch_E It was more a joking criticism given how weird it is than a serious one, especially since it is, as you point out, a demo. I guess we'll see though. Fingers crossed and all that. The game as a whole definitely has potential even if Lily ends up keeping her sporadic nonchalance.

[@aeoninfinity247]

Out of all the characters to shatter the fourth wall, an alarm clock was the last one I expected.

[@Winslow19]

@@NobalGaming I wasn't expecting a crossover between Blasphemous and Bloodstained but they delivered, it's fun albeit stressful. Crossing Souls does look pretty interesting, kinda gives me Yuppie Psycho vibes... without the horror aspect. There's also Katana Zero, haven't played it but it looks good.

Boy, Lily is uh...a little indifferent about these events going on. She comments on just about everything but actual paranormal events.

5:53 is this some metaphor about menstruation I am too man too understand?

"Better not going around turning random valves!", says the one who trespassed, stole from apartments, neglected to call help for an injured man, contaminated crime scenes, and came into illegal possession of ammo, all during one night. "OMG! WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?!" *immediately forgets about him and tries to break into another apartment* Girl, I don't want to worry you, but you got thems ADHD. 13:27 I am guessing the heroine will not be in the full game.

[@nuclearattackwombat8390]

Mixed feelings about this one. On the positive side, I like the atmosphere and the art. On the negative side, the actual gameplay seems pretty rough. The UI is very clunky - having to open a menu just to navigate the stairs, for example. There is a lot of pixel-hunting. It would be very easy to get stuck because the player didn't realize a particular piece of the background was supposed to be interactive. Making progress does not seem intuitive at all. The game has a ton of potential, but it's being held back by the same flaws you find in old-school point-and-click adventure games.

I like how Lily has that little bouncy stance happening as she stands around, and the way she walks. So adorable. Looking forward to this game being finished. Seems interesting.

What's the game where the character goes around in her undies and her steps sounds like steel boots bare feeted around the hallway again? That, Immanecense and this looks familiar.

This reminds me of an old game with a very similar style where you played as this one guy playing games on his computer at night with this random lady that messaged him, and through the night you had to get up from the computer and change things so he didnt die. The twist in the game is that the guy murdered a woman and you've been playing games with her angry spirit or something. At the end you had to bury her to the rythm of a old song and it was really creepy. Forgot the name of the game though.

[@Creature_of_sorts_]

I think the reason she doesn’t scream is to show insanity

that was cool. all i think that needs to be changed is when the main character dies, i kinda wanted it to be more brutal. and the walking kinda looks off. besides that its a pretty good game

[@LeonserGT]

Environment being highly interactive is usually nice, but here it raises the question - is it really needed? Do we really need shitloads of mailboxes with pixel hunting to find an item there, while half of other boxes repeating the same line? Do we need main hero commenting on every single object in the world? If you, the dev, de-clutter the game world from that useless garbage, you could easily expand interaction boxes for actually useful objects like light switch, right now it's really tiny.
