@bastinusrex.bsky.social salut :) J'ai enfin pris le temps hier de faire Carimara et : c'était génial ! Bravo pour ce jeu, merci pour l'expérience, tout était fou, j'ai adoré le sound design des dialogues, ça m'a donné des frissons. L'ambiance est incroyable et j'ai adoré chaque seconde du jeu 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Carimara was bloody lovely. Equal measures funny, creepy and heartwarming. Gorgeous too. And dirt cheap right now. store.steampowered.com/app/3570370/...

CARIMARA, par @bastinusrex.bsky.social , mérite totalement les éloges qu'il s'attire. Tout petit knowledgevania qui dure le temps d'un épisode d'une série dont on voudrait voir toute une saison. Ambiance du tonnerre. J'espère qu'il y aura des suites. store.steampowered.com/app/3570370/...

i wrote about @bastinusrex.bsky.social's CARIMARA and adapted it into a traditional slovak folk tale. it's only written in the foreign language of the slovaks, but the bottom line is: if i were to make a video game like Carimara, i would want it to be Carimara www.arcadewatch.sk/articles/car...

I played Carimara developed by @bastinusrex.bsky.social. It's perfect for the season, a bite-sized spooky game that oozes creepiness and delivers a dark fairytale-esque world in spades. I would buy it again just for the visual style; it has a low poly yet textured look that I love.
