My file’s game text did not start in English, so be sure to check your settings before starting the game. Pay close attention to how your character interacts with objects, as some of the hit boxes are either less reactive or hidden.
Why Should I Play?
So why should you play URLate? This game is both cozy and unnerving in a way that is appealing to fans of dark indie adventure games like Into the Woods. The atmospheric musical score enhances the light horror elements and grimy, surreal illustrated style. The hand-drawn, wispy art style creates an eerie backdrop for this tale of woe. This short, immersive puzzle game can be finished in around half an hour, making it the perfect game to fit in between longer campaigns.
Think you can handle the dark? Download URLate from Steam on PC for free.
