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

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

Love the art style and atmosphere in this game! :)

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.

un 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.

such an incredible style!! i can't wait for a full game to be released :DD
only recommendation i'd make is to make the buttons on the main menu more visible.

i love how the style makes it look like you're trying to see in the dark though. super cool
