How it feels

A contemplative, hand-drawn shadow-puppet world with a pale ghost-light, where you explore moody ruins and interact with surreal puzzles to uncover a subdued, melancholy story.

What players say

Players describe Skaramazuzu as a short, fetch-quest-driven adventure with charming hand-drawn black-and-white art and a limbo-like story about identity. Many note the repetitive dialogue and grating gibberish voice acting, but find the creepy-cute characters and eerie atmosphere worthwhile. The puzzles are simple, and the game involves lots of backtracking.
