![]() ![]() The development team knew how to keep things from entering tedium and executed keeping players hooked almost flawlessly. I was satisfied with the variety of ways the abilities I had were put to work. Instead of haphazardly chipping away at boss health by using a magical attack, you’re often asked to deflect the boss’s attack back at them or dodge their attack entirely to view that the boss has taken damage. When you are, it's usually a boss fight where how you attack is fundamentally changed. Rarely are you locked into a mano a mano match to the death with a hulking beast. Even as you traverse the demonic “upside-down” realms of the manor, many of the murderous enemies can be dodged or juked. Attacking isn’t something religiously asked of the player. Fossil Games took care to develop these mechanics. Combat is pared down and simple, but highly effective and engaging. These abilities both use the same power gauge, depleting it entirely with each use, giving players a clear choice between fight or flight. In addition to the memory puzzles and exploration, the game's protangonist, Ada has two psychic powers to aid in her quest a speed boost and an AOE attack. In wading through that thorough lack of expectation, however, I found that Sunshine Manor is a tight, well-paced thrill ride, with “less is more” gameplay, a quick wit, and a soundtrack that just hits different in all the right ways. I'd expected to play through it, tolerate it, and go about my day not feeling emphatically one way or another. ![]() I’m painting this picture to provide a deeper understanding of my predisposition when sitting down to play Sunshine Manor, an 8-bit horror game published by Hound Picked Games and developed by the two-person team the pixel art game studio Fossil Games. That is to say that 8-bit games were something that I just sort of missed and to this day, I never really feel drawn to them. We highlight every release by going over all the items in detail and interview all the people who are helping make it a reality.Having been born with a Sega Genesis controller in my hand, raised by the Super Nintendo and ejected just a few years after the meteoric boom of the 16-bit era ensured that I'd be wrapped up in the state-of-the-art technology my parents were keen to adopt as their first gaming consoles than anything before my time.
