High Strangeness is a hybrid of 8 and 16 bit games - a 12 bit adventure. The inspiration of the game comes from many Action-Adventure and RPG games of yesteryear.

Throughout the game your pixel art perspective of the world will be infused with visions of watercolor illustrations that shed some light on your mysterious surroundings.

deepdoop's review of High Strangeness

6.5/10

It has a cool gimmick (switching between 16-bit and 8-bit), but it's a deeply flawed game. For every good idea it has, there's a bad one, and it doesn't go deep enough with any of the mechanics to make it truly great.

8-bit isn't as fun as 16-bit, it's an easy game, the puzzles aren't that clever, the AI is simplistic, the story is decent, the music is inconsistent, the visuals are pretty cool.

Despite how negative I seem, it's still a fun experience... just not worth a 6 year wait (if you funded it).
