Our take on Lasagna Boy
Rather than centering horror on sustained combat, the game places a delivery worker in a puzzle-and-platforming adventure inside a haunted castle. Its retro handheld visual language also contrasts with the darker mystery, pairing compact pixel art with lighting focused on unseen threats in the shadows.
