Eldritch, developed and published by Minor Key Games, is an inventive blend of roguelike structure, immersive simulation mechanics, and Lovecraftian horror.
Graphics

44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Visually, Eldritch’s low-poly, voxel-inspired art style might seem simple at first glance, yet it contributes significantly to the game’s unsettling tone.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Killing a single one is extremely easy, what's important is managing them to net get too overrun, killing them with melee, or a pistol against the ranged one, carefuly running around, as to not step into traps, which are usually more dangerous than the enemies.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I even found the atmosphere/soundtrack to be quite ominous and unsettling lol
Story

21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The result is a story that feels deeply atmospheric even without heavy dialogue or cutscenes.
