  • Cannot rebind controls.
  • The Estigma game offers no real game options.
  • Takes a bit of time to get used to the gameplay loop in each game.
  • Out of the two Estigma is a game that starts off difficult and has the biggest learning curve.

Summary

Teocida And Estigma is a bundle of two games with nice graphics and a 986.8MB download size. Both games offer puzzle gameplay, but they are quite different in their mechanics and aesthetics.

Estigma is a tile-based game where your goal is to fill in the game screen while avoiding obstacles. It features gory-like pixel art graphics and slight animations. The game is one-hit death, but you can pick up a brain for an additional hit. It has a clear HUD showing the timer and offers a save and quit option.

Teocida is a 2D puzzle platformer with an epilepsy warning due to flashing screens. It uses a VHS-style screen filter and offers two content filters: the suggestive content filter and the uncut experience. The game has many actions from double jumps to looking around the level to manipulate blocks. The main sanctuary in Teocida is an open area where you travel around to the unlocked level entrances.

Both games have their own challenges. In Estigma, it’s hard to always know where the needles land when there are multiples, and it offers no real game options. Teocida almost does a bait and switch as the tutorial level is nothing like the levels you actually do in the game.

Despite these challenges, Teocida And Estigma are a surprisingly good duo of games that both play differently and scratch a weird disgusting itch.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
