User Reviews
- Roots is one of the most atmospheric indie horror games I've played recently. The sound of the wind through the trees is enough to make you paranoid. Definitely worth a play!
- The investigation aspect is really well done. It's not just jump scares; there's a genuine mystery here that makes you want to keep going despite the fear.
- Graphically impressive for an indie title. The lighting effects in the forest create a perfect sense of claustrophobia even in an open space.
- A very solid survival horror title. The 'Devour' mode adds a lot of replayability and extra tension to the core gameplay loop.
- North Lab has created a masterpiece of tension. If you enjoyed games like Outlast or Amnesia, Roots will feel right at home in your library.
