Lasagna Boy
One stormy night, a lasagna delivery boy named Jon finds himself stranded in the woods near a creepy, somewhat out-of-place castle. While looking for help, Jon accidentally becomes trapped within the castle where he meets an imprisoned girl named Gilda. As Jon investigates the mystery of the girl in the cage, he discovers untold horrors that are hidden within these castle walls and a darker mystery at the heart of it all.
Lasagna Boy is an adventure horror game with a Gameboy aesthetic. It brings together a mix of puzzle, adventure, and platforming, along with some minor shooting elements. Lasagna Boy has a charming yet haunting pixel art style that takes advantage of a lighting system that will have you asking yourself “What lurks behind these shadows?”

Having fun with this game, would recommend. Here's a list of pros and cons:
Cons:
-Definitely not for impatient people
-Challenging (this can be a pro depending on your preference, personally I find it challenging without being impossible which makes it fun)
-Controls are very weird for keyboard (e.g when opening gates using bolt cutters, you have to use a combination which gets reversed on PC, B becomes Z, and A becomes spacebar, it's confusing)
-Camera can be janky and can throw you off when you're jumping across two platforms
-Doesn't save nearly as much as I would like personally, it saves in sections after you clear an area entirely
-There are no objectives so some things might not be as obvious, if you're like me, you might spend a few minutes walking around trying to find which way to go next
-The gunshot noise for the henchmen shooting you is SUPER loud (almost earrape)
-Makes you sit through the opening credits whenever you die (this could be part of its charm since it's kind of gameboy styled idk, for me it was kind of annoying)
-You have to spam B/A to turn levers and things but it still happens slowly, carpel tunnel incoming
Pros:
-Super nice to look at
-Gives you three color settings to play with
-Music is nothing too fancy but it compliments the game well and lets you focus
-Challenging
-Ambience, story and immersion are done decently, it follows that cheesy underdog hero story line but it kinda works here
-Creative level designs
-Amazing looking characters, monsters and artwork, providing an imaginative atmosphere
-Has a sort of 3D effect going on with the forefront and the background layout
-Cool time waster for how many hours you could get out of it
-Some funny sound effects
-Spooky
-Bunch of easter eggs
-Does provide a fair amount of lives before you die (imo, I still ran out heaps of times but they helped cut down the game over screens compared to if I only had like 3 lives or something)
-Dialogue is good and there isn't too much of it
-Garfield references
-Cheap, for $4.44 it's worth it I'd say, feels like it's worth more than that.
