1/19/24 - Goodnight Meowmie review
Goodnight Meowmie is a tiny little horror game combining two opposite genres--horror and "cuteness". The game surprises you with an incredibly bittersweet ending. (Well, you can see it coming but it still hit hard anyway.) The art style is adorable, and yet captures the scary tone when it needs to. The game isn't necessarily complicated; Meowmie needs food (or medicine), so you must adventure through dark dangerous hallways to reach said food/medicine. There are cat skulls that with attack you if you get too close. These skulls foreshadow what happens to Meowmie and the main character's grievances. Throughout the game, you will be chased by bloody pawprints that will kill you if they reach you. This symbolizes Meowmie's death approaching evermore, and it kills the main character inside. The pawprints last longer the sicker Meowmie gets--another metaphor for death approaching. The game isn't quite difficult by any means, but it is nerve-wracking at points. (Although, I don't play many horror games, so that could be it--but the incredibly slow pace of the main character can contribute.) The game is a heart-wrencher, and a neat blend of cute and horror. If you have 30 minutes to spare, I highly recommend this game!
