The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

100% achievements. you bhop and strafe around enemies in ever increasing quantities. the soundtrack is nice, the visuals are iconic. I don't recommend 100%ing this game, it sucks the entire time.

¡¡My, oh my!! Mercy, for first impressions, I'm in love with this game! the visuals and soundscape interweaves together to form a connexion that i've been pining for, all this time!! bloody chap in the castle isn't lying, the binaural beats are an obsession. consider my ocular and auricular senses, sated! The game features a castle as it's hub, convo with characters, heal, store currency, that's where you'll be...

I would like to preface this by saying I own every one of Fading Club's games, and Psychopomp Gold is one of my favorite games of all time which inspired me to play this because I thought I would also enjoy this. I love the music and visuals, however... I genuinely in good faith can not finish or recommend this game, at least not right now. This is easily one of the single most infuriating games I have ever played...
