🎮 Gameplay Mechanics
🔶 Generally, I’ve always been against rage-inducing games, but obviously, sinister Pooh managed to change my mind. How could I possibly pass on a game that combines clever level design with sheer chaos? It’s one of those rare gems that makes you hate everything while simultaneously making you acknowledge the effort put into its torturous perfection. And let’s be real- perfect for torture is a niche of its own. The premise is simple: Wicked Pooh is after you, and your only goal is to reach the next checkpoint before he catches you. But, of course, it’s not that straightforward. The map is littered with traps and misleading paths. Take the wrong turn, and it’s game over- no second chances. The only saving grace? The checkpoints scattered throughout the map.
🔷 On top of the relentless chase, you’ll have to deal with frequent jumpscares and plenty of table-banging moments. What makes it worse- or better, depending on your tolerance—is Pooh’s constant stream of insults every time you die. Before you can respawn, you’ll be treated to some "encouraging" words from him, which somehow makes the frustration hilariously personal. The developers nailed the timing of each trap perfectly. Even when I knew exactly where to go, I found myself dying repeatedly. The game thrives on trial and error- it’s not about difficult jumps or complex mechanics, but about figuring out where the traps are.
🔶 Is it hard? Absolutely. But it’s the kind of difficulty that challenges your persistence rather than your reflexes. Is it fun? Definitely, IF you reach the end. For what it’s trying to be, the game is flawless-perfectly crafted for those who crave a brutal but rewarding test of patience.
Guide on how to get the three endings for the achievements
🔷 When you find yourself in the room where Pooh demands you to kill those adorable souls, there’s a small gap in the wall at the back. Tossing a grenade through that gap will unlock the good ending. For the second ending, simply throw grenades at the fence where your soul is trapped. The fence will break, and you’ll be free from the game. And for the third one... oh, the third one. Let’s just say, look how they massacred my boy.
📷 Visuals and Audio
🔶 Despite looking like something straight out of the 1990s, the visuals surprisingly work in favor of the game. The aesthetic amplifies the chaotic, rage-inducing vibe, which would’ve been dulled with more realistic graphics. Now, as for the audio... I have absolutely no shame in slapping it with a solid 0/10. Why? Because Pooh's relentless taunts made me question every decision I’ve ever made in life. It’s infuriating how good his lines are, and I genuinely hate that they got under my skin. Well played, developers. Well played.

😇 Honest Rating
🔷 If you love a great challenge, this game is surely a great pick. The developers deserve credit for their transparency- the game’s description lays out exactly what you’re getting into, no sugarcoating. However, if you’re not keen on being relentlessly reminded by Pooh that you’re “worthless,” maybe give this one a pass!

I hate those red eyes of yours, Pooh.
