Pure NintendoKirk HinerApr 20246/10
As far as 2D horror platformers go, Unlife is about as indie as they can get. Grammar errors, UI issues, and awkward controls abound, but they somehow add to the B movie charm if you're in the right mood. It's not a game I'd recommend to most, but to those to whom I would recommend it, I'd do so with gusto.

A mix of both uninspired visuals and gameplay make the experience more lackluster as a whole
