Theyest Thou

Short game, but fun. Well worth the small price. Play if you are interested in: Action, quick thinking, puzzles, and learning tidbits of a very interesting world. Gun mechanics feel smooth, and messing with the AI using levitation is a lot of fun. The whole concept is very unique and fun to explore as you unlock new weapons. [strike] Some very minor nitpicks: - Guns in UI don't seem to match color in world. - Text in terminals are difficult to read when zoomed out. [/strike] [i]Edit: Developer has patched out these small issues and added a hard mode, which I have yet to test.[/i] Be sure to pick this game up if you want something highly entertaining to do in an hour - props to the developer. I look forward to Thoughest Thee.

i cant really format this so instead here is a list of my pros and cons pro: the weapons are each very well designed with their own benefits and drawbacks pro: the game is very replayable with the bigger levels having a bunch of different solutions con: the difficulty curve is all over the place, most of the levels i found hard were in the first half of the game con: when levitating guns it can be very hard to aim con: once you get the sniper some of levels just turn into "shoot all the enemies before they get to you" instead of the puzzle / stealth element that made this game unique in the first place

Bought on the release day, and I've had a lot of fun. I played on Linux where it runs great natively. It's a pretty short game (it took me one hour to complete), but it has a matching price tag and it's a nice experience. I also understand it as a teaser for something bigger (Thouest Thee), which the developer is working on. The gist is that you go through levels clearing enemies (with a pretty decent AI), gain new weapons with interesting abilities, and the twist is that you can control weapons telekinetically. You control the players and its equipped weapon with WASD + Left mouse button, while you can control a distant weapon with Right mouse button at the same time. It allows some interesting tactical situations, takes some time to master and is pretty innovative. I can wholeheartedly recommend this game :) Disclaimer: I'm one of the developer of the game engine used to make this game. I did however buy the game and evaluated it as a player, not a developer ;)

[i] My Experience [/i] Theyest Thou has a bad name, but an interesting premise and exciting tactical/stealth gameplay. As it only takes one shot to put you down, you'll need to direct enemy attention away from yourself using guns that fall from enemies as you slowly pick apart the opposition. Enemies will destroy any weapons that they see levitating, so you'll often need to make quick shots from outside enemy line-of-sight before unassumingly dropping the weapon again on the ground. Directing enemy attention this way can make the player feel like a mastermind. I loved using the shotgun, grenade launcher, and sniper rifle, but the recoil on the SMG was so extreme that you almost had to have a wall behind the levitating gun prior to firing so it didn't wildly fly off-screen. I liked the game's aesthetic and world, and appreciated these even more after watching the short "making of" documentary on YouTube. However, I can't claim to really understand the game's story, which is told throu...

This game is short. Really short. But that really doesn't matter. It's incredibly fun to use the main gimmick (that you can control guns) and use it to distract enemies. Right now I am trying to beat the game without shooting an enemy and it's hilarious. For this price I can recommend it!

yes.

10/10 brilliant game. it's quite short but it's cheap, very polished and heaps of fun! it's the kinda game you only play once but the levels don't have set solutions so going back and playing it again start to finish after a while and looking at the puzzles another way would probably be really fun. i struggled a bit to understand how the final boss worked initially but once i got the hang of it it made sense and everything else in the game makes a lot of sense too. although i don't think it says anywhere that you can control the grenades the same way as the guns, i only knew that from watching the developer's YouTube series about making the game. Definitely reckon the game is worth the money though it's done fantastically, very clean very easy to play. it did bug out a little bit on one of the levels and the game crashed and then when i loaded it back up the game froze for a second on that level again but i left it alone and it sorted itself out and the whole thing ran perfectly apar...

Decent little game this. Gets you a good hour of fun. Interesting mechanics and level design. Cool to be able to watch the development story on YouTube as well

Deep, challenging, and imaginative. THEYEST THOU is like a sci-fi spiritual successor to Hotline Miami duology where the game never gives you a feeling of invincibility even with a superpower. This is the true power of Godot engine.
