A new example of Spanish creativity in horror games. It brings some great ideas to the table and executes them successfully within an original and engaging setting. It only falters in some unbalanced puzzles and, perhaps, in becoming too "iconoclastic" in the final stretch.

For an independent studio's debut game, Luto strongly delivers on Broken Bird Games' ethos of delivering deep narrative experiences that reflect both their passion for video games but also great stories.

A short, yet fantastic horror game. A masterclass in storytelling and atmosphere.

Luto is a first-person horror game you won't forget anytime soon. For its debut title, Broken Bird Games takes a theme as natural as death to create a truly terrifying experience that plays with the player's mind in very clever ways.

Luto is a short but powerful experience that combines atmospheric storytelling, an oppressive atmosphere, and a deeply personal emotional charge. It's not a typical horror game, but rather a story about grief and silence. It may not be for everyone, but if you connect with its plot, it will stay with you long after you finish it.

Luto joins the ranks of divisive, artistically ambitious games—echoing the style of Hideo Kojima—with its metaphor-laden, psychological journey that, despite some visual flaws, lingers deeply and emotionally long after its surreal tale of isolation and acceptance ends.

At first, I wasn’t expecting a lot from Luto. I had (wrongfully) assumed it would have been just yet another P.T. clone doing nothing more than satiating our thirst for anything vaguely resembling what Silent Hills “could have been”. Thankfully, my expectations were subverted. This is a wholly unique experience that managed to pull me intro its (very weird) world. It’s not the most terrifying or challenging of horror games, but it was a great slow burn, one I can easily recommend to horror fans out there.
