Surreal soulslike hidden gems
Strange flesh, shifting dreams and broken minds shape these surreal hidden gems where you learn by dying and trying again. GRIME and GRIME II ask you to read enemy moves, time your guard and gain power from what you bring down, while Vapor World: Over The Mind focuses on turning aside attacks and careful platforming through a sorrowful inner world. Expect deliberate stamina combat, lost progress after death and demanding bosses wrapped in dream logic.
