Very nice little atmospheric notes of like, idk how to describe it, Windows 98 horror? Like the graphics, the size of things in comparison to you, the little design choices like how the characters move and whatnot, it all felt like being a kid and playing those creepy old computer games that were just not quite right after playing Playstation or Nintendo games. Little bit of active point and click mechanics with the way you interact with things. That's it! Enjoy the greatest part of the game/story! Instead, head back inside the house (with the basket of apples), and place them on your father's record played in the living room. Below will be spoilers on how to get the secret ending.Īfter your you've collected all the apples from the Orchard, do NOT talk to you mother as she's instructed you to. Amazing job!įor anyone wanting to play this, I recommend doing a normal playthrough spoiler-free (maybe takes about 2 hours), and then speedrun your way to the secret ending (which can easily be done in maybe 15-20 min. And what blew my mind was that, arguably, the best part of the game/story (where everything REALLY comes together for a fantastic conclusion) is hidden away in a secret ending!! Ballsy move for sure, but holy hell is the secret ending SO good! This is genuinely one of the best experiences I've had playing a game. They all served the story in some way, when initially it doesn't appear that way. This game is fantastic! The beginning of the game had me a bit fooled into thinking it would end up being like the many other itchio horror titles I've played, but this game was a sleeper hit for sure! The creativity in the visuals, dialogue, text prompts, transitions, character models/movements clearly all had purpose, and intention.

Ok, so I've played a LOT of itchio horror titles, and the mass majority of them are quite bad lol! I went into this game half-expecting Mothered to be full of the same ol' tired tropes found all over itchio horror, but I have to say that I was quite happily surprised.
