Skyhill

On one hand, my love for this game was almost preordained, as it brought together elements of so many different game and thematic genres that I love--RPG, Roguelike, post-apocalyptic, horror, adventure and even a remarkably admirable dash of Elevator Action. But on the other, though the game is fairly "light" overall in virtually all of these categories, that also means it never overstays its welcome--if "casual" were not an insult, it would be appropriate to call this game casual, because you can play it for five minutes and truly get something enjoyable out of it. This is not something you can say for most post-apocalyptic RPGs, right?

I'm surprised that I find this as addictive as I do. There is definitely some repetitiveness, but the random generation helps as do the speed settings.
It's on the casual side, there are no timed events, no jump-scares, and combat is relatively quick and simple (if not somewhat random at times). The difficulty setting truly ramps up the experience, so you can adjust your play style as you see fit.
The story is slightly unsettling and more than engaging enough (through texts, notes, and other clues to be found), and the 'secret' ending is a 'must' if you want to tie it all together.
When it is on sale for $1, it's an absolute steal and completely worth the purchase. I do not think it has enough variety or overall content, even with the random generation, to be able to suggest it at the full price of $10.

incredibly underrated survival game, its really simple to just pick up and play, and its pretty damn difficult too lol

Great game shame all those efforts went into the sequel instead of updating this game though. Really wish the tower was a lot bigger. Either simply taller, maybe add a basement, or add a reverse mode where you are climbing the tower and just make it infinite. I had a neat idea to widen the tower too, we could add two (or more) staircases with new rooms attached to each of them and weakpoints on any of the rear walls attached to the main staircase you could break with an axe or even an explosive charge you have to craft allowing access to new rooms.

I can't give a full recommendation to a game that charges you to run ads in your face, but because they had the deceny to put them in the corner of the screen, and the game is otherwise good without doing anything else offensive I'll still give it the thumbs up.
The game seems to want you to replay it to get some secret endings, but it doesn't really justify that when they don't seem to be introducing any new mechanics for the second playthrough. Good for a few hours of fun if you enjoy a simple, short, and easy game.

It has great depth for a point and click game, but the RNG is so brutal that it's almost not fun. I wish there was a way to give a "meh" vote, but as it stands there's more good than bad here.
Still - HORRIBLE RNG and winning is a crap shoot.

not too bad, not too good, regular rogue-like, to buy only on sales
