Siphonophore

Really wanted to enjoy this but the explanation of game mechanics is ridiculously poor. I had no idea if I was doing anything right the whole time and there's zero information online about how the game works.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Lovecraft/comments/p5e1vg/siphonophore_angelic_nightmare "Siphonophore is a unique game, combining the mechanics of Tamagotchi and Ikaruga. A story both confusing and intricate, inspired by the principles of Cosmicism and Gnosticism with a bit of Theosophy. However, the gameplay is lacking, and the boss battles will test your patience. That said, I'll recommend trying it out."

Tip: Hold E and use scroll wheel to enable progress. So far I don't think it's a masterpiece. The gameplay is lacking due to the large number of enemies, important indicators communicated exclusively through the HUD, and near complete lack of distinction between food and foe. However, it's worth playing. The aesthetic and sound design are just like in the trailer, and the dialogue while probably thoughtless gibberish is entertaining to read (except in the extended tutorial that entirely misses the core issue).
