Carimara: Beneath the Forlorn Limbs Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
One of the prettiest games you can find with a boatload of fascinating secrets based on underexplored folklore, CARIMARA: beneath the forlorn limbs is a must-play this season.
Creepy and unsettling, Carimara: Beneath the Forlorn Limbs is a unique take on a 'whodunnit' mystery, and it's unlike anything you'll have played before. A short game at a budget price, this is a creative gem well worth your time this Halloween.
CARIMARA: Beneath the forlorn limbs is an attention-grabbing introduction to a strange and original fantasy world that features an engaging spin on the detective genre, but our time there is so brief that it’s hard to come away fully satisfied.
CARIMARA is a creepy horror mystery based on Normandy folklore. The atmosphere encapsulates an eerie yet beautiful tone, which is mesmerising to play. However, the experience is very short, and the central mystery falls flat because some of the answers are unsatisfying.
You play as the titular Carimara, an exorcist-cum-detective tasked with a cottage-sized ghost problem. While you're constantly warned about threats to your life, it's not a game of survival. The Carimara's only tools are cards acquired by interacting with creatures and objects. Flashing these cards prompts NPCs to divulge tidbits of information, which you'll need to piece together to find out the secret of the cottage's ghost.
