Tried out your game!
-A very short game, but the artistic direction and graphics made me curious enough to enjoy this game.
This is great, super cool looking art style and very bizarre overall. No clue whatsoever about what this could possibly be about but I'm invested. Played it at the very start of the video before jumping into Eclipsium.
Made a video on Rooted In Darkness
really kool style and kreepy as hell! great job!
Show post...
i want more loved the art style and atmosphere!ummm? y u sharing my vid as if u are me sir? i mean? thanks i guess?? wth?
I WANT MORE!
I'm sorry to hear about those frame rate issues. I havent seen any performance issues like in your video before so i think it might unfortunately be something on your end. If you liked the artstyle you can check out the demo for our next game Eclipsium. It's a full game and a spiritual succesor to Rooted in darkness.
I figured it was probably some hardware interaction on my end, but either way I really enjoyed the game! Excited to check out your new project! Keep up the awesome work!
Good game
It's a nice short horror game and it has a nice pacing to it. Though I wish we were slightly harassed by the person that decided to bonk us at the door.

Muchas gracias por compartir la demo, me ha gustado, saludos!!!
a bit confusing but fun nontheless!
The Steam Demo is great, looking forward to a full release!
This was so short and I wanted so much more, this is what originality should feel and look like, your art style is unique and I love it for that.
5/5
R.I.D. is painfully short. This because it seems there is more to see in this world. Graphics wise is extremely original, with a pixel art style in first person view. My only complaint is...where's the rest? If you want to check how it runs on Steam Deck just press the link below:
You can check out the demo for Eclipsium on steam! Its the
spiritual successor to Rooted In Darkness!
I will. You can leave a like in the video as well. :)
Comments below clip:
When the heart beats, everything is OK, or is it...? Stumble with me through the darkness trying to escape from the horrors of being somewhere underground.
I didn't run into any bugs, hiccups or other snags, so kudos to all involved, and thanks for making this game!
great game i love it
gameplay pt-br
loved the aesthetics on this game (Game #3)
Completely unique, looking forward to your Eclipsium game coming up next, will buy it day one :)
Nice artstyle, but I found the game too short, too linear and too "up for your interpretation". Not a bad game, just not the type of game I like
I love the art style of the game. It really enhanced the experience for me. Wish there was more ngl, Here's my gameplay of it.
It starts at 05:10
Hey What a crazy experience I loved this!!! I really liked the visual graphics, it would be great to make a more complete game with these graphics, it would be interrestane, you did a great job, keep going like this
Gameplay PT-BR
Very interesting game! I love the visual style all around. Made a short video about this game :)
I really like the looks of this game! Intriguing game, even tho I didn't understand all that much of what was going on, lol
I enjoyed it!
A VERY UNIQE EXPIRENCE THE LOOK OF THIS GAME IS ORIGINAL
ENJOY THE VIDEun juego único y diferente, los graficas están tan pulidos que logran no solo conseguir una buena ambientación, logran atraer al punto que necesitas ver mas.
This game felt unique with the graphics and the story though it was a little hard to see and a little hard to understand exactly what was happening. The hand felt too 2d and was very separated from the environment which was a little distracting. But I had fun exploring this game it was different for sure.
Creepy little game, enjoyed it!
Dope aesthetic. I look forward to your next game.
Beautiful.
Good game! i wish here was more, love it!
Loved the style of the game, with the sounds and the puzzles, it was a fun experience yet an intriguing one. I didn't get much meaning out of it, but that be surrealism for you *finger guns*
A weird and enjoyable game! Nice work!
