EDIT: ok so I was right, it's very bugged. I'm pretty sure the difficulties are reversed. I just tried playing on Hard difficulty and it's infinitely easier than playing on Easy. I'll adjust my star rating to a 3 because the game is actually playable now but that is still a crazy bug for the developer to miss...
Original review:
This game is not very good. You might even call it bad.
In terms of art and animation it's great. It's one of those "download a save and fap" kinda games where you don't actually play the game.
It all comes down to the Orc. You have 0 options against him once he finds you and I'm convinced its AI is bugged. One time I saw the red border on the side, immediately started walking the other way trying to find a place to hide. One screen away I suddenly hear the Orc sprinting like his life depends on it for literally no reason. There is no counterplay. Once you get even the faintest hint that the Orc is coming he is already target-locked on your exact location and even if you relocate it doesn't matter. It's not about sound either, I'm walking 100% of the time because running is an instant game over.
Also I don't really get the intent of the cursed items. They tell you they're cursed so you can just not pick them up. If you do pick them up, and you have a stack of items they'll sit somewhere in the stack which is really dangerous.
So I don't understand the idea. There's no scenario where you would pick them up unless you want to get cursed.
I don't think the concept of this game is bad, but there has to be some bug in the AI that makes it unplayable.
