How it feels
A short, linear journey through a progressively distorting apartment with tense melee combat and an uncanny atmosphere.

What players say
Players split on Barbotine as an interactive art piece versus a shallow game. Many praise the grimy PS1-style visuals and surreal atmosphere, but combat is clunky and enemies can get stuck on stairs. It is very short, around 20 to 30 minutes, and the psychological themes resonate with some while others find the meaning empty.
