This game would have been great if you weren't always on a timer. That kinda ruined it for me. The greatest strength is the artwork which looks amazing but I barely got to look at it since I was always in a rush to leave the area as soon as possible before time was up. The only other complaint would be the puzzles were a bit bland (nothing new, typical puzzler obstacles).

Controls are too finicky in several areas where you're trying for 20 mins to beat a small section of a level. I gave up trying. Yes its supposed to be hard but I progressed about 80% of the way through the game and just decided the continued frustration was not worth my time anymore.

A fun little puzzle game to pass the time. Pretty short, but entertaining nonetheless. The last level is the best part, btw. Summer Update: Liked that one level more when you were able to control Selma directly. Anyway, didn't see that ending coming. Last level is still the best part. NOTE: If you are using a Nvidia card (720m here), on Linux (Fedora 26 / openSUSE Tumbleweed here), the game will only show a black screen at launch. To fix this, go to your library, right click the game -> properties -> set lauch options -> write "-force-opengl" (without the "). That should fix it

This game tries to take you on a horror filled ride through the mind of a little girl but it seems to have missed the mark. There is barely a story here with little to no emotional attachment to Selma. The controls feel sluggish and not at all what one expects when controlling a wisp. Selma also seems slow to respond in relation to the wisp. You will die many times, which is, I think, what they intended? A mouse seems to work better than a controller. There is potential here and with some work this could be a fun little game rather than a frustrating disappointment.

This game is timed. You don't have a chance to think and explore properly as you are on a timer. The fact that you can save oftenly doesn't take away the timed game play. A huge disappointment. I wish Steam lets you know that you're buying timed, quick response games. I wish I had my money back for this game.

This is a wonderful game, it reminds me a little of limbo but not so much I would compare it. the graphics are adorably spooky and the game itself runs fantistically. the puzzles are tricky but not impossible. all in all a fun way to spend an evening

The soundtrack, atmosphere, mechanics, and animation style make Selma and the Wisp a really fun little game. The juxtaposition of cuteness and violence is extremely pleasing.

Interesting direction in terms of game controls. Pretty graphics and non-invasive music make up a nice atmosphere. Puzzles are intuitive and sometimes moderately challenging. Would love to see an extended version!

Beautiful artwork, the character of Selma is aordable and the control system is a good attempt at a different way to control a character, however in some puzzles this does prove to be a little clunky. Nevertheless an entertaining faily short little platform puzzler.

Controls are infuriating and terrible. The music was repetitive, the tutorial was slow and irritating AF. It feels like a flash game. I dunno what I paid for this, but I can't play it. It's unplayable garbage and I hate it.
