Born from a seed of sadness, and inspired by the likes of Goya,
Ray Bradbury and Mervyn Peake (not to mention Eraserhead and Sanitarium)
this is a strange and captivating land indeed.

You ‘wake’ on a floating walkway that leads to a surreal ‘funhouse’ carnival.
A riddling head and a lolling tongue beckons you in, so you do.
Where a golden haired woman throws herself to her death,
which she will do again.

It's all your fault you are told. Determined to somehow intervene,
your endeavour begins, but who will save who?

Great review, flotsam. As I have said before I really like this game. And yes you shouldn’t listen to the commentary on the first play through save it for the second one. Thanks, Drac

Thanks, flotsam and Draclvr!

I also have a review in Russian smile https://itc.ua/articles/strangeland-syurrealisticheskij-koshmar-v-korichnevyh-tonah/

The game is nice, but for me it was not as great as 'Primordia'. I've completed it in just 3 hours.

I started this game last night and right away thought of Sanitarium (not remembering that it was mentioned it in this review). It's quite interesting so far.

I just finished this game. A few things got on my nerves at times, but mostly, a very good game! I don't know how Iurii completed the game in 3 hours. I spent almost 10 hours on it.

It certainly took me a fair bit longer yes


Quantity has a quality all of its own
