Metroid meets a fever dream, and Samus is bent over a rock. That's the whole thing. Not the sleek, armored Samus from the later games, mind you, this is more like a pinup from a sticky old forum signature circa 2005. Her chest is... it's a medical anomaly, really. The artist from the Legend of Krystal series dropped her here, and you can tell. The weird interactions feel less like animation and more like someone dragging two action figures together while making explosion noises. I spent a solid minute just trying to figure out if a specific button was supposed to make her leg clip through the floor more or less. It didn't.
The monster, oh boy, the monster. It's Ridley, but if Ridley let himself go and then decided his primary means of communication was a pointy, pixelated hip thrust. The "hard sex" tag is doing a lot of heavy lifting. It's not a complex simulation, it's one looping, jerky motion that looks less like carnal passion and more like an angry lizard trying to dislodge a stuck piece of furniture. The start of it, though, the sound design is just... a single, crunchy squelch on repeat. It sounds like stepping in mud. Loud mud. Is that a turn on? For someone, maybe. I kept thinking about the structural integrity of her spine. Cant a bounty hunter get workers comp for that kind of alien pelvis induced trauma?
Top 3 Moments You'll Want to Screenshot: 1) Her face when the loop glitches and she stares directly into your soul with a dead-eyed, thousand yard stare. 2) The exact frame where Ridleys claw passes through her shoulder like a ghost, a true testament to the game's hit detection. 3) The title screen, honestly, because the promise of what it could be is a powerful lie. I wish this was a steam page review where I could mark it as "funny" because that's the only thing it does well by total accident. I saw another game from the Krystal series, something with a wolf and a bunch of plants, and I wonder if that one at least had working collision. The whole thing makes you ask: what is the author's mind? Probably just a lot of white noise and a deep, profound love for unpolished polygons smashing together. The file name had a crazy string of numbers in it too, 7f60077a8b85faa03a3ade10e657b2a717918115694006854763390044767, that's not a code, that's a cry for help.
