You find weapons to defend yourself but combat isn’t always the smartest choice. The overall gameplay loop is pretty simple. Some of them give you weapons, some of them give you items to progress through the story, and some of them simply help you understand the story better by exposing more of the mansion’s secrets. They are certainly not annoyingly hard, but they do reward and satisfy when you, when you get over them. The location of an item, a page, some kind of a painting or a carefully hidden line in a diary entry. Most of the puzzles you encounter during your journey in the mansion require you to memorize certain things. The mansion could be huge, but it’s not annoyingly huge. Just like we did in Spencer Mansion in Resident Evil, you start memorizing the rooms and the halls they are in. Like I said, most halls look like each other so it is easy to forget the location of certain important rooms. The hardest thing is probably to remember what item or puzzle was where. They are usually not annoying or THAT hard to solve, but they are still puzzles that require a certain amount of effort. Almost each and every section of the mansion has some kind of a puzzle. While Grau Hill Mansion is full of deadly Lovecraftian beings, it is also filled with puzzles. It takes place in a huge mansion, full of deadly Lovecraftian creatures and horrifying secrets. It is a game that is very good at relaying these themes to us, the player. A gothic setting we all like and cherish with its dreadful, macabre themes. Lamentum is a pixel art survival horror game taking place in the mid-nineteenth century New England. It is currently released for PC on Steam, and it is set to release on August 31st for Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. Big thanks to them for providing me with a review key, so I can prepare this review. Lamentum is a brand new survival horror game developed by Obscure Tales and published by Neon Doctrine. Those were what made survival-horror what it was and what Lamentum does really good as well. Limited saves, slow but gimmicky combat, overall hardcore game mechanics and heaps of puzzles. Survival horror has always been one of the most liked subgenres of horror and while these days, we don’t see many good examples of that subgenre, some indie games manage to come out and help us remember those good old days of that genre with their pretty well-made selves.
