Might be my favourite horror game of 2021?
It might be my favourite horror game of 2021?
I don’t know.

Sorry, reader dear.
I’ll make up for it now.
The game drips unease and oddity, demonstrating great restraint as tension mounts.

A very clever and careful game.
I’m still pleased every time it creeps back into my thoughts.
I’m still working my way through those demos, so I might have more to point out later.

Mothered is the second game from (mostly) one-man dev Enigma Studio, following2018’s The Enigma Machine.
The next will beEchostasis, launching later this year.
They all seem connected in wonderful and terrible ways.
If you like Mothered’s demo, the full game is available fromSteamorItch.iofor 7/8/$10.
A free prologue demo for Echostasis is up onSteamandItchtoo.
