Carimara: Beneath the Forlorn Limbs
Critic Reviews for Carimara: Beneath the Forlorn Limbs
Creepy and unsettling, Carimara: Beneath the Forlorn Limbs is a unique take on a 'whodunnit' mystery, and it's unlike anything you'll have played before. A short game at a budget price, this is a creative gem well worth your time this Halloween.
One of the prettiest games you can find with a boatload of fascinating secrets based on underexplored folklore, CARIMARA: beneath the forlorn limbs is a must-play this season.
Carimara: Beneath the Forlorn Limbs is a short, stylish, and wonderfully eerie mystery that trades cheap scares for a deep sense of unease and tension. Its inventive card-based communication system keeps you on your toes (and scouring the environment for clues), its haunting atmosphere feels eerie throughout, whilst its gorgeous old-school visuals help make for a world that’s constantly unsettling – and I mean that in the best possible way. Sure, it’s over quickly and it doesn’t really offer much reason to replay, but what’s here is sharp, memorable, and perfectly paced. Unsettling, clever, and quietly haunting from start to finish, you simply won’t want to miss out on Carimara: Beneath the Forlorn Limbs this Halloween.
CARIMARA is a creepy horror mystery based on Normandy folklore. The atmosphere encapsulates an eerie yet beautiful tone, which is mesmerizing to play. However, the experience is very short, and the central mystery falls flat because some of the answers are unsatisfying.
