After enjoying Universal Garbage Station, I decided to dive into Gpoint Games' world with their debut title, Deep Brain. While the game shares a similar aesthetic and overall vibe to its predecessor (both have a unique, hand-drawn artstyle that I greatly appreciated), I found Deep Brain to be notably weaker. One of the major drawbacks for me was the female protagonist, who, despite being constantly attacked and used by monsters, wakes up after each encounter completely unharmed and seemingly unaffected.
She simply wanders through the horrific setting without any clear motivation or emotion, which is a missed opportunity. The environment itself has a lot of promise, and there were moments that showed flashes of what could’ve been a deeply disturbing experience, but unfortunately, it never fully materialized.
In the end, Deep Brain felt more like a missed opportunity than a genuine erotic-horror experience. The art style is solid, and there are some hot scenes (if you enjoy the ugly-moster-on-girl trope), but the lack of emotional weight and character development holds it back from being truly memorable. It's as though the game didn't fully commit to itssetting, and that ultimately left me feeling underwhelmed.
I'll try Yggdrasills next, let's hope for something more.
