Looks like a pretty cool indie tbh, didn’t know it was exclusive though. Or maybe I just forgot about it

well, i have my next game. this looks super cool. it seems like it has souls vibes to go with that metroidvania structure.

Feels like I watched a different video than everybody else because that looked super boring.

well, i can see why. i'm mostly in awe of the lovecraft vibe. some of the combat, while neat-looking, may get old and repetitive. we will know soon enough.

It’s out now. Might try this weekend depending on reviews

Seems the biggest complaint is you can’t rebind the controls

There are literally hundreds of indie Metroidvanias what makes this one special.

@-GD-X regarding the detective stuff/puzzles:

However, The Last Case of Benedict Fox begs you to be patient, putting an obstacle in front of you and then taunting you to find the answer. It’s not the most extensively complicated Metroidvania game out there, but there are some genuinely fun puzzles that will ensure players feel like detectives themselves. When a lock opens after multiple tries at the solution, the sense of relief and understanding is a rush.
