FLATHEAD

Jun 6, 2024

FLATHEAD is a game that piqued my interest with its creepy art design, but I was in no way prepared for just how addictive it can be. Its unique spin on such a simple concept as the Over/Under game makes it great to play in short bursts, but it also adds in enough other overarching story elements to keep you coming back for more. I have loved every second of my time with FLATHEAD, and I’m fully under its spell and won’t be getting over it anytime soon.

Like that test demo, FLATHEAD falters when it adds too much detail too soon, undercutting its own tense atmosphere. The game has taken noticeable (and welcome) steps back since its early days, but can’t quite overcome the urge to overexplain. I chalk it up to a developer finding their voice and their footing. I’m confident that with time, they will make something that can truly rattle me. They got perilously close this time. Great Read the Press SPACE to Jump Review Scale for more information on what our scores mean.
