Landlord of the Woods is a unique indie game that explores existential themes through its intriguing narrative and distinct art style. Players find themselves in a world filled with fantasy creatures and death-themed artwork that provokes thoughts and emotions. The game combines storytelling with a variety of minigames, offering a mix of introspective moments and engaging gameplay that keeps players captivated throughout. Pros: - compelling narrative - the story is intriguing and keeps you engaged, unraveling secrets that pull you deeper into the game’s unsettling atmosphere - relatable themes - the game delves into experiences that resonate with many players, especially the life feeling monotonous and unfulfilling - mesmerising art style - the game’s visuals are both haunting and captivating, with a distinct art style - variety of minigames - a range of minigames adds diversity to the gameplay and keeps things interesting - satisfying ending - it is surprising and makes the journey feel truly complete Cons: - not very intuitive - some parts of the game can be confusing and lack clear guidance, which might leave players feeling lost - lack of hint system - its absence makes it difficult to progress when you get stuck, which can be discouraging - awkward item collection - the need for a second click to collect items disrupts the flow of the gameplay - disorganized notebook - tenants are listed out of the order in which they appear, making it confusing to track your progress - very short experience - the game can be completed in a relatively short time, which might leave some players wanting more - low replayability - with a linear story and fixed outcomes, there's little incentive to replay the game once you've finished it Overall, Landlord of the Woods presents a visually appealing experience with its beautiful art style and engaging story. While it may not be particularly scary and is quite simple and short, the game’s aesthetic and narrative are strong points. Despite some drawbacks like limited intuitiveness and replay value, its unique charm makes it a worthwhile adventure for those who appreciate indie games with a focus on storytelling and art.

I played Birth before. The Landlord of the Woods shares with it the aesthetic of decay, pastel color and living-dead world. It is always nice to see a game creator with a distinguishable style. The Landlord of the Woods feels a little like a test of a craft before creating a big project. ... The ending is a little macabre too.

There are A BUNCH of free-to-dirt-cheap games out there that can be completed in anywhere from 10 minutes to 1.5 hours. Although a lot of them are kinda junk, there are many that have this feeling of walking into a local art gallery and finding work that reads somewhere between a student senior thesis and a professional exhibit. In any event, it's weird and captivating. Landlord of the Woods (Madison Karrh) is one of those games (artists). Eat your ❤️ out.

Short puzzle game (about an hour long) with a charming story. The art and music are lovely, the puzzles are simple and enjoyable, and the ending was a fun surprise. Worth more than the dollar it cost to play it!

Feeling like you’re wasting your life away and falling behind your peers, you respond to an advertisement and apply for a new, hopefully more meaningful, career path as Landlord of the Woods. Much to your surprise, you get the job! Play minigames and collect rent from your bizarre tenants. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3126939868 40 min – 1 hr+ to complete, Landlord of the Woods is a physics-based point-and-click puzzle game with hand drawn graphics and more impressively, made entirely by one person. Light character creation is available. Admittingly I wasn’t expecting much out of a game I purchased for barely 50 cents, but I fell in love with the art style, the unique tenant design and the slightly macabre story, and encourage you to give it a try. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3126939969
