60 of 64 · most liked firstFor me its a struggle to leave a dislike on a game. Before saying my disapointments, I want to point out the game has a great concept. A dying person have 30 seconds before he is clinically dead, so in his inner world inside his brain, he need to collect 30 time crystals by manipulating time and time is color here. To fit the concept, this game has a very very colorful art style that impressed me at first. Contrasting with the boring real world with weird voice and low quality graphics, the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the most innovative games I've played in years. The puzzles are 90% great except for a few "what do I do" moments within a few puzzles. The only negatives are performance is not terrible but utterly inconsistent. I don't have a super powerful PC having a FX 6300 and GTX 1050ti but this game sits in the 30-45 range of FPS constantly moving between that and even dropping below 20 at times. Its not unplayable but it is obviously pretty bad. And for what it looks like it shouldn't be…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far this game has been hella fun n gets the ol noodle going figuring the puzzles. They aren't 2 easy ooor 2 difficult which is a huge + n keeps 1 engaged. The time manipulation is very interesting as is the colors/visuals. On sale 4 just $1.50 its a fuqing steal. ⚠️WARNING⚠️ Will cause headaches n nausea in some. Suggest toking on plenty of 🍃herb💨 b4 playing 2 limit the feeling n just cause gameplay is always better baked.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Clinically Dead is a short 3D puzzler game in the vein of portal that has you solving time puzzles by changing time moving through different parts of 3 Dimensional space, it's only got 40 reviews on steam, but it's got great vibes and I REALLY like the setting store.steampowered.com/app/927840/C...
unlabelledView post →Great original puzzle game with variety & real cool game mechanics about time rewind & permanent room changes or how you can simply play with the time mechanic & physics without completing the puzzle and still enjoy that. Very brightly coloured, voices are a bit weird, but whatever, its part of the odd charm of it. the first "Tutorials" are enough, I think its best to figure things up for yourself after that point, and not have that "voice" repeat what you have to do, but that might just be…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There was an... attempt. I guess. Ok, so I generally don't care for good graphics. I'd rather play a engaging pixel or voxel game than any boring photo realisitc game that has nothing else going on. That being said, Clinically dead is too hideous even for me. I don't really know why they even put the opening hostital scene in there as it only highlights that their human models are nightmarish and that they couldn't find a single voice actor and instead use text to speech. Once you are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've really enjoyed what I've played of this so far despite a few drawbacks. The drawbacks are the text to speech thing that a few of the characters have going on. It's very distracting at the beginning and makes the game hard to get into. The second drawback is the spelling mistakes and/or dialogue mistakes. Those are also distracting at the beginning. However, once the game opens up it becomes a very trippy puzzle game about collecting time crystals and then using those crystals to rewind or…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unique experience. First few minutes are a pain to go through, but once you get to the core of the game it gets interesting. Game is definetly not for everyone, but if you like challenging puzzles then give it a try. Game offer unique mechanic of time manipulation. As the concept of time manipulation is not new, the way you manipulate the time is. Color represents time passage, and from level to level, various things influence the color/time. I must be honest, this concept is hard to wrap…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a very fun puzzling game that really makes you think! I get a lot of portal vibes from this but it definitely does a lot of unique things with its' concept. The idea is basically space=time=health, which seems simple at first, go into the blue part of the environment to move the environment into that part of time, run away from the shadow beings that take your time away, etc. etc., but this game really does capitalize on these mechanics and does a lot of clever interplay with them. I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Clinically Dead is a first person puzzle platformer with time control elements. The basic premise is that you have died. You have 30 seconds until you are clinically brain dead but where you are time passes differently. If you don't find the 30 time crystals that 30 seconds could last forever and you will never escape your purgatory. It has a nice psychedelic game play environment and the game play itself is quite good. The time manipulation aspect is great and at the cheap price they are…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is not your avarage puzzle game. You learn how to use time to your advantage and the story is very intriguing. The rooms are hard to master until you understand how to work with the time. The visuals are mind blowing and the ending gave me chills. Nothing to complain about here. People who said the graphics are ♥♥♥♥ clearly didn't see or understand the depthness of it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Might be good for people who like Portal and similar titles. That whole, puzzle-3d-platforming thing. It's sloppily made though.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Clinically Dead You're stuck between life and death, so you have to get out, somehow... This is very interesting game where you can manipulate colorful time to solve puzzles and pass through furter and further. One man made game, but very cool and pretty well done, amazingly. Worth to play it :) Good luck! Dobra robota, Drogi Autorze! :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Clinically Dead is a great way to describe the popularity rating of this game. Jokes aside, this is a low quality amateur made experimental "art" puzzle game with a convoluted puzzle gimmick. The idea is that you're suffering a near death experience, something that seeing the price tag on this low quality game could cause, and during your near death experience your brain works at different speeds and thus you experience time differently. This isn't easy to express in a video game as…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After encountering significant issues with this game, I expressed my concerns in a previous review, only to be met with insulting responses from the development team. My primary frustration lies in the controls malfunctioning after the game's introduction, a critical aspect that significantly impacted my ability to enjoy the game. It is disappointing when a development team fails to take ownership of issues and instead responds in a manner that feels dismissive. Such interactions can sour the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nice trip ♥♥♥♥ yes
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So it's basically Portal on DMT I'd only recommend it if you got it on 90% discount and can't afford actual dmt or Portal
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has an interesting concept that I'd like to see in a more polished game. The visuals are decent and the audio is serviceable, but it runs poorly and the puzzles I solved were based on trial and error: not logic. If you're interested, I would wait for it to go on sale.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Clinically Dead, developed by Mogila Games and published by Ultimate Games S.A., is a first-person puzzle adventure that builds its entire identity around a single, striking concept: the final seconds of a man’s life stretched into a surreal eternity. Rather than presenting a conventional narrative or action-driven structure, the game immerses players in a metaphysical exploration of consciousness, memory, and time as experienced by its protagonist, Mr. Samson, in the moments between life and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Compelling concept with so-so execution. Although the time-changing mechanics are great and the puzzles (sometimes) challenging, the low quality assets and awful narration make it difficult to see the diamond hidden in the coal here. There were also a few spots I got stuck causing the need to reload from a checkpoint, and most of the maps feel pretty empty despite the unique lighting. Additionally, the colors and lighting of the game are giving me eyestrain. This isn't something you can play…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm halfway through a first playthrough. This game is bad, but its concepts and puzzles are good. It is unrefined, unpolished, and deserved more development time to iron out a lot of rough edges. The story is completely unnecessary and takes up far too much time to play out, the gameplay itself feels cheap, everything about the game screams trash but the gameplay/puzzle ideas presented are very much enjoyable and unique. If it had been given more polish, I would easily recommend this game to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game have a very interesting concept and mechanics. Got pretty hard for me with all the weird graphics/psychodelic colors, if you can get over it and you like platformers you could try this game, especially bought on sale.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a great puzzler with unique mechanics, trippy graphics and challenging puzzles. This is a gem and deserves more attention than its getting.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very unique experience with clever puzzles within it's setting. Utilising temporarely provided power over time and/or temperature of color, from which influence determines the outcome towards solving the puzzle (challenge) within in each room. The intro made the game by first glance, as a cheap and bad example. But after the intro, through somewhat sluggish timeframes, colorful tutorials, the genius mind behind all of this makes your jaw fall wide open. Not my type of game, but I gave it a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Once you endure the terrible introduction, you actually find yourself in a pretty bizarre and fascinating puzzle platformer, where you have to assess the timeline of each level and then figure out what to do to travel along it in the right way. The platforming and monsters are a bit of a low point in this game though.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh what is this horrible garbage? Graphics are bottom-of-the-barrel, the sounds are all irritating, and the voice "acting" is just an abysmal mess! Devs, please choose a new career path. That may be harsh but someone's getta tell you that you just .... No.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →PURE ♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONTROLS DON'T DO ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE'S NOT EVEN A MAIN MENU, BUT ACCESS TO IT ONLY FROM PRESSING ESCAPE. I WOULD'VE EXPECTED A WORKING GAME TO BE SOLD, BUT IT'S ♥♥♥♥ INSTEAD. During the beginning. You start, move around your head/camera, but can never reach the water/pills, and you die. 'Rewinding' does nothing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, after being on the newsletter for this game for about a year, I was very excited to see that it finally released. I'm not much of a puzzle gamer, but the graphical effects and mechanics were my main interest. Overall I'd say this is a nice and polished game, but priced rather steeply for the amount of content. If puzzle games are your jam, you'll find no other replacements.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was fine up to the point where the game introduced caged enemies that will come after you if the cages are lifted.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this game on an ultra steep sale for 89 cents. I figured I couldn't possibly go wrong with a bargain bin game that promised a unique concept. However, in practice, this concept isn't very unique. Standing in a certain area to manipulate "time" which really just manifests as controlling platforms, doors, etc. doesn't play much differently to if the game had you standing on switches to manipulate the environment instead. The game's style looks cool at a glance, but can easily translate to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is very neat and I don't think there is anything quite like it, but it is pretty rough around the edges. Don't buy if you aren't willing to be patient when you lose 5 minutes of progress each time you die in the last level (or just remember to save/load because I sure didn't). I probably spent 50 minutes to an hour on that level.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's weird, but awesomely so :D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its uncomfortable. And just because it says its time control doesn't mean it is, its more like as you move through space or hold a button platforms move. But the aesthetics do get trippy the first 10 minutes or so are uncomfortable, then some other elements are uncomfortable and its not too interesting beyond the aesthetics to me. Others may like the puzzles. Or not mind the creepiness of the beginning. But I do. I got it for 90% off though. $1.50. So idc enough to refund it and may come back…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beautiful concept and visuals, the Time/Colors mechanic is such amazing. Excellent story concept too.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The best way to describe this game is to call it a hidden gem it had interesting puzzles, vibrant visuals, and impressed me far more than I thought it would it is not completely without fault however as with a rx 480 4gb some areas were bringing me down to around the mid 30 fps and sometimes the colors sort of blind you and the voice acting was not great (the words tracheostomy and tubed were pronounced incorrectly) but basically even with those minor faults this is still a game that I think…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a nice game. It has similar characteristics to Portal. However theres an added element. Time. With time you can control it back and forwards. Its not an horror game, and its not as dark as you may think. It's actually a little bit brain challenging and fun :) Its quite psychadelic though.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its like i'm playing Portal on acid. Pretty cool game with fun puzzle mechanics.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →literally just portal but with time its amazing it does definitely gets really hard on those last 5-10 puzzles still fun
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Imagina jugar esto bajo LSD daaaayum
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Could barely get myself to play the game through the intro, audio balancing is awful and was unpleasant to control.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game. Not worth 15$ tho get it during sales.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The puzzle are challenging. I enjoyed it and hated it at the same time but I would recommend it to puzzle loving friends as the gameplay is very interesting.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh wow, you are in for a treat with this one. Clinically dead is a platformer with an interesting take on the genre. In short, you died and are now trapped in your subconscious and have to collect 30 time crystals that symbolise the last 30 seconds before you are declared brain dead. I have to say that the game doeen't start in a very impressive kinda way but once the actual levels start the game starts to show its real colors. I really really liked the gameplay mechnics, every level is truly…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool concept imho. I really loved the setting of this game (inside the mind of a dying man). Probably not a must-play, but consider giving it a try if you like what you see in the trailers. Also, pretty colors go BRRR. PS: PLEASE piss off the nurse at the start. She's a big meanie and a doodoo-head.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →3d time is such a cool concept, this game will stay with me for years poland mountain
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Why did not I play this before? Amazing concept, music, colors, etc. It's been ages I had not enjoyed a puzzle game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very trippy. i like the concept.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When I saw and played this game for the first time, my brain got fascinated with all these colors and clever puzzles to solve. It's a unic experience set in one of the most strangest world I've ever seen, and the time mechanic works brilliantly.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A hidden gem of a puzzle game. Super cool mechanics, and very well-polished. The graphics can be a little overwhelming at times but they didn't detract from the overall enjoyment.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →POO EYES 🥶💪💪💪
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game was good, I thought dev used their limitations well since puzzles were mostly good and the weird character designs added to the mood appropriately. It was moreso towards the end that I didn't enjoy it quite as much. I thought the last level could use some tweaking since there's not really any ways to tell what to do next without painful experimentation and the endings, while kind of different had the last scene be pretty much the same, which left me confused. I know the plot was a more…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →amazing game with platforming and puzzles, very trippy and i love how it refers to the concept of death. dimitri would be proud
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've put a good 10 hours into this game and honestly thoroughly enjoyed myself. The story is nicely told, it keeps you intrigued to continue the puzzles. The idea behind manipulating time in order to solve the puzzles is really good, and the colours and set pieces are pretty stunning. The music is also great especially towards the end. This game is formatted ok for using a controller, but the movement and turning is quite a bit slower, which works ok for the first few levels but by the time…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An interesting game. If it was only puzzles I'd love it but it also has stealth elements which I hate, so can't recommend it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's different.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game of the year 2021!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Psychedelic and trippy. does not make sense but fun puzzle game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish there was a neutral review option. Clinically Dead has a unique game mechanic, which I have never seen in any other game. It's used amazingly in various puzzles. They are all very different and explore different aspects of the mechanic, and it's really great to see how deep this goes. However, visually the game is just really ugly, to the point that it's distracting and confusing to look at. The store page doesn't really say it, but there is a lot of precision platforming, which was…
