Withered was an absolutely harrowing experience plentiful scares, but the true terror lies beneath its surface.

What initially caught my eye was its beautifully grim aesthetics. I knew I had to pick this one up, and the title sequence itself was enough to show me that I was in for a wild ride.It did not prepare me for how horrifying the story truly was.
Withered excels in many aspects, from the unmistakably unhinged storytelling, beautiful minimalist artwork, to its use of ambient music and sound effects to sink its withered claws in the supple, vulnerable parts of your mind.
Truly, a masterpiece.
