Friends, I think I have unearthed the next Hidden Gem, though Hidden Arrow Trap might be the more appropriate framing. It’s a 2D precision platformer called the The Pale Piper that reminds me of Limbo, Hollow Knight and VVVVVV. It’s the work of FreeTimeDev, who is also known for Godot tools and synthwave jams on Itch.io. It’s out today on Steam, and the demo has killed me eleventy million times.
This sounds intriguing! The concept of a non-combat game with a unique art style is refreshing. It’s exciting to see new ideas emerging in the gaming world. Looking forward to hearing more about this hidden gem!
