Dark Pals: The 1st Floor
Critic Reviews for Dark Pals: The 1st Floor
Dark Pals: The 1st Floor is a hugely enjoyable dose of mascot horror that takes the conventions and mixes them up to offer up a well paced and action-packed hour and a half of gameplay. Forget your Gartens and your Poppy Playtimes, Dark Pals promises to be the future of this subgenre and I'm all in.
Is the most promising debut chapter in mascot horror since the genre became its own thing. Skunx Games has built something with a distinct voice, a genuinely great soundtrack, creative puzzle mechanics, and mascot designs that have already found a dedicated community. The late-game chase frustrations and navigation issues are real — but they’re also exactly the kind of things that get smoothed out across an episodic series as developers learn from player feedback. At $6.70, there is essentially no reason not to play this if you have any interest in the genre. For more horror, indie, and gaming coverage, check out our full reviews section. The Omeletteman Song will haunt you. We cannot be held responsible for this.
