Our take on THOTH
The focus on individually crafted stages trades away open-ended structure. Its challenging mix of puzzle solving, positioning, and timing also leaves less room for relaxed play.
What is THOTH?
THOTH is a twin-stick shooter with handcrafted stages that test coordination and puzzle-solving.
It can be played alone or cooperatively with a friend. Getting through each stage involves thinking about positioning and timing while dodging enemies and avoiding collisions. The game combines minimalist visuals built from colorful shapes and patterns with an intense electronic soundtrack. Its arcade roots sit alongside stages that call for both puzzle solving and finesse. THOTH was independently designed by Jeppe Carlsen, formerly lead gameplay designer at Playdead.
