How it feels

A bizarre, abstract trip through a hand-drawn world with fragmented text and turn-based encounters.

What players say

Players describe Hylics as a short, surreal experience more than a traditional game, praising its unique claymation visuals and bizarre charm. Some note the randomly generated text can be confusing, and a few needed a guide to find the third act.
