Billions of years after the universe met its demise, you awaken in a realm where death reigns supreme but even death may die. Necrophosis, the curse that plagues this world, inflicts decay upon everything it touches. Here, amidst a landscape crafted with meticulous care, dread and decay permeate every corner. The characters of this world, infected by the curse, embody the very essence of decay. With every turn you take and every sigh that escapes your lips, you bear witness to the relentless touch of decay. Necrophosis weaves its grim tapestry, enveloping you in a haunting journey through a macabre world where death is not an end, but a pervasive reality...

You awaken in a realm where death reigns supreme

If the above synopsis is something that you thought sounded intriguing, then you'll be glad to hear that Necrophosis is full of the same poetic horror. You begin as Consciousness, trapped within an emaciated, decaying vessel devoid of memories. Explore grotesque environments cursed with eternal deterioration to unravel fragments of the truth and learn why you have awakened.

The game is a walking puzzle game that sees you wandering around until you stumble upon the next puzzle. Some are intuitive... others, not so much. However, the dark, macabre world you inhabit helps to sell the Lovecraftian's nightmare that you're thrust into.

It looks incredible and plays well. I'd have enjoyed it a little more if the developers had eased off a tad on the overly long poetic element. But I suppose to some that will be the game's charm.
