Gotta say, this is actually a pretty decent indie title. Well worth the price if you ask me. Definitely a combination of old school resident evil and silent Hill vibes. There’s something about the story that just feels quite disturbing so far. Can’t wait for the full release. Hyped!! I did however come across some frame rate drops at small sections but other than that, fun expierence.

It's an indie horror game heavily inspired on Silent Hill, the atmosphere and gameplay feeling are very nice. I still didn't finish the available content yet but seems solid already.

Gameplay: feels exactly what you expect from a Silent Hill inspired game, heavy eery atmosphere featuring the classic fog and distressing sounds around, very nice. Not so sure about the defend mechanic, still takes damage and I saw at least one situation where dodging was impossible (the part where the monster comes into the room you are at from the only door out), which means I would 100% die without any survival chance if my HP was low, or maybe I could run past it and I was not good enough, maybe.

Difficulty: The Hard difficulty it's way harder than Normal, which makes me think how crazy the locked max difficulty could be... so for anyone starting this make yourself a favor and play on Normal, on that one everything feels fine so far, almost a bit easy, but I did had to use healing here and there.

Graphics: very nice and detailed PS1 retro-style textures set on kinda of a slum-type region on Brazil, very detailed like the real thing on structures and others.

For improvements I would recommend the possibility to save pressing "E" since it's the key to interact with everything, also the possibility of only continue the conversation after pressing something, some scenes wait for it, but some don't, you can miss texts because of it. The puzzle of lighting up the candles was too explicit like the very end of the hint saying "light them all" was a bit unnecessary to get the point on what you must do there, doesn't need to detail so much, it felt like mocking the player wouldn't understand or something, could be more vague just with the main sentence hint.

Comatose felt like a strange, beautiful love letter to early Resident Evil and Silent Hill, with a bit of Dark Souls grit running through it. Fixed-feeling spaces, deliberate fight or flight combat, and lighting that matters.

The sound design deserves its own mention, because very few games actually get this right. Comatose understands how silence and space work. Noises bleed through walls just enough to make you second guess where they’re coming from. It never feels loud for the sake of it. Everything is placed carefully, and that restraint ends up doing more than any constant soundtrack ever could.

At less than ten dollars, it feels underpriced. My first run through the game took about ten hours, and that was with me actually sitting with all the puzzles, and getting lost a few times. The puzzles are easily the highlight. Each one follows its own internal rules, and when the solution lands, it lands clean. Just that sharp moment where everything lines up. It was a bit of a scavenger hunt at times, but the pace was still very fun.

If you have any love for late 90s survival horror, this hits that exact nerve.
I’m genuinely excited to see where it goes next. It feels like the start of something special.
