Golden Light

Ran into a pile of meat, which rightly slapped me in the face for getting too close. Panic fired and killed it with my gun. Ate my gun to recover health.
10/10 would go looking for my wife again.

this game is so good, and you should get it. AND NO THEY DIDNT REMOVE CO-OP YOU CAN STILL GET IT! when you get the game, go to Properties, Betas go look for the Participation and click none, and make it go to the Folden Light Dev Branch. (THIS WILL GIVE YOU A 2.68GB UPDATE!) then go in, beat lvl 0, and og back into the menu and now YOU HAVE IT!

Just an awful little game

Procedural horror meets absolute nonsense in this meat-filled masterpiece. The story follows you saving your girlfriend. That's about it. She was sucked into a meat hole while you two were on a picnic. Now, you need to get her out of said meat hole. The trouble is that the meat hole is full of various dangers.

The crux of the game involves moving from a central hub level (a rose meadow) to a "meat world" via an elevator. You enter the elevator and it takes you to the floor you were at previously. Your goal at each floor is to locate keys and use them to unlock subsequent elevator doors to get you deeper down the meat hole. Now, the game play really boils down to finding these keys, but as you do so you will find randomized weapons -- anything from a pipe, to a camera, to a fireman's axe -- and use these weapons to battle meat monsters.

The monsters in this game can be visibly seen or can be mimics which disguise themselves as ordinary objects like books or computers. The level layout is random each time and so is the location of the keys. I had a level where the keys were basically right next to the elevator and I had another where I had to search high and low for a key.

Anyway, you will be confronted by monsters in a jumpscare-like manner often and will need to do whatever it takes to either kill the monster or escape, or both. Attacking with weapons is somewhat cumbersome, so fighting may not always be the best idea. In either case, when you die (and you will die often) you will respawn back in the meadow, having lost all of your items, but retaining your level progress. The upside of dying is that you won't have to deal with the terrible things that lurk in the meat hole and you can explore the meadow in search of items that can help you.

That's really the crux of the game. It offers a ton of nonsensical dialogue and lots of good freight. If you're a fan of being startled, then this is your jam. If you're interested in more psychological horror, then not a good choice. But generally, this game is a solid one that I dive in to occasionally, regret diving into, and forget about for several days only to return and repeat the process.

not just beating my meat, but eating it, shooting it, breathing it, sitting on it, becoming it, talking to it, having romantical feelings for it, throwing it, hacking with it, slashing with it, attacking it, breaking it, dying upon it, killing upon it, dying with it, killing with it, and also probably having sex with it.

Golden Light is what I could qualify as the best representation of what it feels like to be stuck in the Benadryl dimension. Horrors beyond expanation mixed with consumable weapons makes for a nice & cute game where you try surviving un-imaginable eldritch horrors that merge into microwaves & Tv's.

Game is basically a horror action survival game. There is no story. You pass floor levels until you die. When you die game resets. It is all about how many floors you can beat.

I like a lot of the quirky surrealism of this game, but for the love of god Mr. Pink please put in a Brightness option in the settings. I can appreciate "darkness" being a key component of the dungeon game play and atmosphere, but sometimes it just feels a little too excessive.
