Heretic’s Fork is a dark and atmospheric narrative-driven game that boldly explores themes of faith, identity, and the human condition through a unique blend of mystery, survival, and psychological horror. Developed by One Legged Seagull, it combines striking hand-drawn art with a haunting soundtrack to create an immersive experience that lingers long after the game ends. Rather than relying on conventional horror tropes or jump scares, Heretic’s Fork focuses on building a deep, unsettling atmosphere complemented by challenging gameplay and a thoughtful, layered story that rewards attentive players who appreciate slower-paced, story-rich experiences. At the heart of Heretic’s Fork lies its narrative, which is steeped in religious symbolism, moral ambiguity, and existential dread. You play as a prisoner condemned to a dark, unforgiving world where reality is fractured and nothing is quite what it seems. The game places you in an isolated environment where survival depends not jus...

As a fan of tower defense i was disappointed with the game, it lacks enough depth to make you care about the mechanics

game is extremely slow moving to get anything and since you're not really reacting or doing anything it feels like a idle game

6/10 I beat the game with every playable character in less than 6 hours. I tried multiple flavors of each of the main ways to build (stack damage output), including mixed. I agree with everything I just read in a sampling of positive reviews. It's a casual, funny, and heavily thematic twist on tower defense. The presentation is great. The strategy is simple. After a couple clears, runs were not particularly memorable or unique. Working around or exploiting the playable character quirks was neat but enough for any replay. I expected a full clear to provide (4?) keys to open the door or hidden file or whatever was hinted at in the in-game OS early on. I poked around but never found anything.

Decent concept, lazy execution. 1. No "Replay shift" button when you die so you have to click through five menu choices to start up a new shift. This is not a huge issue early game, but when you are trying to beat the game on the highest difficulty and you keep getting screwed by RNG(the main "mechanic" of the game), it is a time sink you don't need when you just want to get into a new run. 2. No way of removing cards from your collection. This means that any cards that are useless for your build will be included against your will and unlocking new cards is luck of the draw if you increase the number or useful cards you can draw or not. 3. You can't ever see the accumulative effect of cards played (how much additional attack damage do my towers have now?) and you can't see the non-structure cards you have played while playing new cards. This means you have to either write them all down or take screenshots. This wouldn't be a problem except the new cards you play sometimes interact w...

A good game, pretty fun, nice idea, though it could do with a bit of tightening up in places. No fundamental issues, and hopefully things that'll get patched. Fixable stuff The z order on the UI isn't always correct, so you can't see everything. The animations are too slow Endless is dull, you just wait for the next unlock, click a button At 8 hours in, I've yet to unlock everything but I've won 4 or 5 games? And because I've not unlocked everything, a lot of the games are pretty same-y, which is unfortunate because as I unlock more things, I can see there's quite a lot more build choices that are gated

Just ran through this in a few days and I have to say I really enjoyed the journey! Nice mechanics and a bunch of different ways to play. The different characters feel different enough to make the runs feel varied and the tasks encourage you to try out a load of different strategies for interesting rewards. A lot of games like this suffer from too much dilution when you unlock too many cards, making it too difficult to curate a synergistic deck, but the devs included just enough tutor-like mechanics to where you can build something functional, but just RNG enough to where it's slightly different each time; they hit the balance really well. There are some small indy-like symptoms, like a graphical bug when you click your discard pile to view your cards (rather than your deck), a small amount of templating issues ("burn", "sacrifice", and "banish" are all used as a term for the same action in different places), Demon Klippy telling you there is a key on your desktop after beating the ga...
