The puzzles are genius in the sense that they are tough, but not so tough to the point you want to quit. They are rewarding and give you a reason to keep going so you can keep feeling that sense of accomplishment. The monsters in the game are something drawn by a madman. They are essentially tubes with empty eyes and sharp teeth. At first glance they seem harmless, like squishy Easter Island heads, but when they start to talk with their hellish tone and chase you until you find the safety of a checkpoint (which are scarce at best) that opinion quickly changes. Storytelling, however, is lacking throughout this section of the game. Granted it is the first episode, but I found myself at the end scratching my head, confused as to what exactly happened. Storytelling aside, this game’s soundtrack alone makes this a must play. Never have I played a game accompanied by such a beautiful and melodic soundtrack. Alone, the soundtrack is something you could put some headphones on and fall asleep to. However combined with the atmosphere of the game and the look of the monsters chasing you, it can be the soundtrack of true nightmares.

Albino lullaby deserves a place in your library if you call yourself a fan of the horror genre. we need more games like this in the world. Somehow this game manages to be crazy, fun, challenging and different, all while still keeping the horror alive. Albino Lullaby: Episode 1 is a must play for every fan of psychological horror games. With two more episodes to come out in early 2016, I am thrilled to see what’s in store for me in the crazy world of Albino Lullaby.
