Nostalgia is a great feeling. I love feeling nostalgia, looking at a game I played years ago, or a movie I watched when I was like 5 years old, or even just listening to a song I used to like a lot back in the day. For me, Amort was basically a nostalgia ride combined with some of my modern day favorites. It reminds me of old horror games I've played, but also reminds me of some tv shows I absolutely adore like Gravity Falls or Bates Motel.

The graphics and original soundtrack are great. They feel very professional and well drawn. The black and white aesthetics really fit the theme of the game. The mapping is quite good, accompanied by the well drawn battlers. Speaking of battlers, they're all really creepy.
The gameplay is quite nice as well. The perception ability is quite unique and the developers do a lot of interesting things with it. This game would have been much more boring without it since you'd have to check boxes and the ground randomly to find hidden things. The battles are well made as well. The first two are really easy, which makes sense considering they're mainly tutorial fights, but the other batttles actually require some strategizing.



The story is the only complaint I have about the game. While I love the concept of the ''mysterious fucked up town'', I don't think the developers did a very good job with the ending, or just the later parts of the game. There are no answers to questions the main character asks herself. She says she wants to find out the truth, but immediately gives up after turning super saiyan in the final battle. A lot of things are left unexplained and the ending feels rushed, which is a shame because it had a good, mysterious start.

All in all I think Amort is really good in every aspect other than the story in the second half of the game.
I would give it four skulls out of five.
