positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A devilish yet short journey to Hell… Escape from Naraka caught my attention immediately due to its wonderfully looking screenshots portraying Balinese culture and particularly its interpretation of Hell. As I know nothing about it, I was naturally keen to explore and experience this new yet enchanting world, even though I play platformers rather sporadically. Thus, I was disappointed when I found out that Escape from Naraka uses the said culture only in visual form for its environment, which…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not my cup of tea. Looks good and runs well, but the design makes it feel like a trial and error puzzle game while I expected a speedrunning game. Movement feels sluggish, which is not what a would want to have in a platformer.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think Escape from Naraka is similar to SEUM: Speedrunners from Hell. But In Escape from Naraka, your overall score will be tallied up from crystals and artifact collected, damage taken throughout the level, and the time it took to complete the level (No level select option) Gameplay is great, good graphics. My biggest gripe in this game is the Enemy AI . AI is attacking/moving too fast, it FEELS like you're surrounded and there's nowhere to run, the only option is to fight, but you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →3D Platformer game that's build for speedrunners. The game is competitive as you have to speedrun a whole stage + complete challenges (not taking any damage, collect artifact, collect crystals/gems) so that you will appear #1 in the global leaderboard score. It's also a roguelike as there is no clear explanation on what type of enemies and how you handle them. Also you can't kill the enemies, you can just stall them or evade them. The whole stage is also full of traps and you have to learn it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing game. Xelo Games has put much work into this in such little time. For 3 people, this game has very nice graphics, great story line, and a great atmosphere. Please support them and buy this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game yang bagus pastinya dan worth it buat kalian mainkan. grafik yang bagus dan juga banyak kejutan di dalam gamenya, jebakan yang pastinya bikin saya pusing, monsternya juga menyebalkan, kombinasi skill yang sederhana tapi sering saya lupakan wkwkw. intinya good game, buat developernya, good job!!! AQUIREN
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It’s fundamentally flawed in its design, creating an experience that feels harder than it needs to be. The precise platforming took me a while to get used to due to its old school approach, and I found myself thoroughly frustrated throughout my playthroughs. The game constantly demands sharp timing, instant reactions, and a whole lot of patience. To its credit, the movement feels smooth once you adapt, and the visuals aren't anything spectacular but there’s a striking style here that caught me…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Doom guy prepared me well, but not enough for this version of hell. Escape from Naraka is a fast paced plantformer. You run around in a hellish Balinese world with not enough time to see and notice all the dangers before dieing a multitude of time. But as the saying goes, practise makes perfect. After some trial and error you'd be running through the 7 levels. The game has a great underwold feeling to it. The level designs are neat and challenging, each level more challenging than the last.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hmm... Escape from Naraka gets most things right, and you can tell that a lot of thought went into designing the levels and their puzzles. Unfortunately, it gets a couple of crucial things wrong as well, which really brings down the experience. Plus: Great atmosphere, and the Balinese underworld setting feels fresh and interesting. Presentation is top-notch overall. The music, props, lighting complement each other well. The challenges build on each other nicely (at least in the early stages).…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game is cool, it's just that there are still shortcomings, I think the mouse movement feels delayed, I use another game it doesn't delay, or maybe I'm wrong, that's just a feature I don't like that feature, thanks for the cool game, and the game doesn't too much fun for me personally
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is great! it have an interesting gameplay and story. the movement are so satisfying and easy to learn but hard to master (for me). Very recommended!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Escape From Naraka or EFN is a great speedrunning game, which can be good for players who want to test they're skill. Even once you beat the game, they're will be stuff for you to explore and find secrets.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of those games where you have to find your way forward through countless trial and error and memorize each step. Repetition is usually the only way to find out exactly what is expected. The game is 3D platformer and so requires precise control, but doesn't have it. I played with a controller that isn't supported (why, developers, WHY?) and emulated it via Steam input, which made playing even harder, but I also tried K+M and it wasn't much better. Precise jumps are constantly…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What would you do if you died and found yourself in the hell of another culture? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCy_SxsMFn0 Click my video to see gameplay and watch my first impressions as they happened. Escape from Naraka puts you in the Balinese hell, running and jumping and dashing to from one precarious platform to another. As you do, you'll pass by statues and murals and sconces and so forth that were brought into the game via 3D scanning, a beautiful touch that adds life and depth to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like the movement of this game. It allows me to be creative !
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →-Poorly made -Achievements doesn't count properly -Can't do stages again after the finale -Short +Interesting ideas/Mechanics
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very good games you have to try it, the story is very interesting visually stunning, although a little annoyed if you often die because the tempo is very fast, don't forget to buy it good job
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Play in less than an hour and I can already tell that this game definitely worth the price. the gameplay feels smooth and the flow seems to be crafted carefully to torture the player lol. I find the lack of storytelling is, kinda disappointed? Tho, the story is minimalist in a good way because it is definitely not important. feels like the story is there just because its need to be there. but who played these kind of game for the story? we play it for fun! anyway, I'll continue play and I…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is good, the environment is good but the movement is very licin, and when i jongkok the speed is the same, and the dash ability is kinda jejerejedan but overall its a good game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was pretty mediocre and gets a "barely recommend". The game is super short, only 7 levels. The platforming is ok although you can't see the platforms below, and your sense of momentum makes it hard to get moving but also to slow down a jump and limit how far you go making it a bit wonky. Dashing you never full know the distance of it. The game is a lot of trial and error and some the enemies are horribly done and just slow down the game an the platforming and add no fun or interest.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Precision platformer game. If you watch the trailer there's one particular place where you climb up around a tower, this really reminds me of Ghostrunner and how I suffered. However, Escape from Naraka is more tolerable - it has lower difficulty and fewer enemies - a single shot could slow or freeze it, giving the player some time to think where to go and move. The reason I stopped after half an hour is because the movement reaction is not fast enough. It could be my laptop specs, I feel…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is very fun, I love the monsters design and the mechanic for the game. However the game is quite short and the last few zones were extremely challenging which got me to the point where I wasn't having fun any more. I would have really wanted to get the true ending but after witnessing the annoying last two zones, I do not desire to now.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →bukan gamenya yg susah, tapi anda yang cupu
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall, the gameplay is really fun, it's not easy to get bored, there are a lot of obstacles to overcome and it's quite difficult, the game doesn't have any horror, but when you're chased, it's really exciting, and sometimes you're surprised too. In terms of graphics, from the number of Indonesian games, this is already very good, especially when there is a ray tracing mode (my PC is a potato so I turn it off). If the game is on low setting it's really good, and playable on my potato pc. In…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is super incredible. The graphics are absolutely stunning and the gameplay is so much fun. Controls are so easy to handle, the movement is also perfect for speedrunning. During my time with this game i did alot of exploration and i made so many discoveries. it made the game so much more fun and exciting for me. Yeah speedrunning for this game is going to be a big thing for me, and i'm sure alot others as well. Definitely try out the game everyone, especially if you're a speedrunner ;)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A quite nice game that u will try try and ty again to defeat each level, i promise u will be challenged
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →my head hurts and im still fuming great game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Picked this up hoping for a fast paced parkour-y game. As for the pros, the graphic are nice and the controls are tight. That's unfortunately where the pros end and the cons begin. The game is tedious! In many cases, the developer gives zero alternate routes and some areas just require memorization and multiple attempts to get through. Some of the jumps were not built and tested well, leading very frequently to unexpected death. They also only give you the cool abilities in the second to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Would definitely recommend this game if you enjoy a fun little challenge. This game has some of my favorite art i've seen in a game in a long time. Kinda gives off some old school Turok vibes with it's own dark twist along with some other cool feels. Definitely some solid challenging parts and multiple paths you can take in some parts of the levels. Leaderboards are also a thing in this game which is pretty cool if you want to push yourself to be on them. Probably my favorite soundtrack to a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →got copy from dev ! this is absolutely maze runner !! lol ! i'm so enjoy this game, make's me stressed ! i run with my RTX 3070 with direct x 11 RTX on no drop FPS ! the detail culture BALI ! so amazing ! worth it to buy ! maybe next there's DLC !
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game made from Indonesia's culture, yap thats Bali if u know. I think this game is very good with unique adventure mechanics and challenging enemies to complete, if u like a little bit horror games without jumpscare, you must try this game, i recommended you to play it !! and if you dont have any time to play it, you can just watch on my Youtube channel https://youtu.be/PuQkOV1HlOw
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lumayan susah cuk
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So now that I have more time into this game, I can with ease say that this game is well worth your money in more ways than 1. This game is great casually. The visuals are very beautiful. The level of detail is extremely nice and they did a great job with the level design. Difficulty of this game is not super high, but enough to piss you off a few times. 2 different endings with a secret stage, lots of Easter eggs to find, you will honestly have a great time with this game. It's worth the money.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best Game, im Top 9 Worlds Ravenka, i love this game so much, i alr finish this game twice, but i wanna get the true ending/the final ending. btw i am a streamer on youtube, please kindly check and subscribe my youtube Ravenka Gaming. thank u so much for making this awesome game, u guys need to try this game!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Suka bet dah ama game nya
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent game, only buy it on sale cause it's 2 hours of playtime max, unless you want to speedrun the stages for a higher spot on the leaderboard, that part was quite fun to watch Nothing is explained so a few hurdles you have to figure out yourself, but keep trying stuff and you'll figure it out, stuff is quite intuitive I had fun and it was difficult in some parts too I recommend if you like this type of stuff
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://youtu.be/B2-VJ44iuIU First person parkour is always a tricky formula to nail down and in this case it doesn't quite stick the landing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Twas alright. Monsters were alright apart from the weeping angel which sucked and did weird things. Platforming was decent.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm not a biggest fan of games like that, however got it almost for free in some winter steam sales bundle, so I gave it a try. Actually liked it a little bit, fun challenge. Cool boss elements, I liked monkey throwing rocks the most, reminds me of mamut boss in Savage Divide dungeon in MMORPG that is dying now. Achievements do work, however they only pop-up when you go out of the game, but the time of getting them is correct. The only downside that I really did not like is that I finished…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decently hard game but still okay :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Escape from Naraka is an intense, fast-paced first-person platformer that draws inspiration from Balinese mythology to craft an otherworldly descent into a temple filled with danger and mysticism. Developed by XeloGames and published by Headup, it takes the player on a desperate journey through the underworld to rescue a loved one, blending cultural myth with modern speed-running gameplay. From the opening moments, the game establishes a sense of urgency—each corridor, trap, and demon encounter…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly, I'm a total jump-scare coward, and Escape from Naraka successfully kept startling me! But aside from the horror elements, the gameplay is incredibly fun and fast-paced—like playing a speedrunner with a much darker vibe. The graphics are stunning, and I'm really proud this is a game made in Indonesia! Perhaps the only thing that makes me grit my teeth is how aggressive the enemies are. It feels like you're instantly surrounded with nowhere to run, making fighting the only viable…

unlabelledView post →A 3D platformer built for speedrunners, this game is all about mastering movement, completing challenges (no damage runs, collecting artifacts/crystals), and competing for the top spot on the global leaderboard. It also has a roguelike element—there’s no clear explanation of enemies or how to handle them. You can’t kill them, only evade or stall them, and the levels are packed with traps you’ll need to learn through trial and error (mostly by dying). The game runs fine for me, and I’ve…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was even fun at the beginning. Levels can be passed in different ways, monsters are different and mechanics are good. But I just can't get the jump mechanics. Once you jump high, next time you might barely lift over the ground. Or make another high jump again. Why and how that works is completely unclear.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →minor nervous breakdown but it as great
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A high-quality 3D-platformer with an interesting atmosphere. The game is fairly short though, so I'd suggest waiting for a discount.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Weird ass game, cool concept but def janky. This game is crazy hard, especially playing on steam deck. Runs well enough on deck and just needs to load a custom control config and rebind a few keys. It’s a neat platformer but it’s too difficult, be prepared to die nonstop. Gets a thumbs up for the concept but really a game I wish they had neutral rating for as it clearly could have used more polish
