MirĆ”, hermano, si querĆ©s un juego que te haga transpirar como cuando jugĆ”s al truco con flor, El Pomberito es lo que buscĆ”s. Este indie argentino estĆ” tan lleno de mĆ­stica guaranĆ­ y leyendas del monte que te hace sentir que estĆ”s en medio del Chaco correntino, con el culo a dos manos mientras el bicho te respira en la nuca. El ambiente estĆ” re bien logrado: los grillos, las hojas secas, el fogĆ³n apagado y ese silencio de campo que en cualquier momento te agarra. En conclusiĆ³n, El Pomberito es como un buen choripĆ”n en la cancha: no es perfecto, pero tiene ese sabor bien nuestro que te llena el pecho de orgullo, Felicitaciones a los desarrolladores, muy bien logrado. Si sos de los que disfrutan una buena historia criolla con un toque de cagazo, ni lo dudes 8/10

This game is actually amazing, offering a good atmosphere and a great showcase of the Argentinian legend of the Pomberito. Despite being short and having some technical flaws, like the lack of variable sensitivity settings, it still manages to deliver an exceptional experience, especially considering it was developed by a solo dev. That's just plain incredible. The game adopts a more stylized look yet it shows its share of realism and inmersiveness. Especially when using the shotgun where you need to carefully consider your positioning in situations with reduced visibility, with the added challenge of doing so in a tense situation. Plus, the different endings are a really nice feature adding replayability, especially for a short game. Overall, I would rate this game a 9/10 . It's something anyone can enjoy, and it's a testament to the talent and dedication of its solo developer.

It's an amazing game. It clearly places the quintessential horror of the gaucho experience. As a kid and living in the middle of the countryside in Santa Fe, I would hear lots of stories related to El Pomberito, Luz Mala, and La Llorona, among others. Notwitstanding the variety of the folklore, never had I been so frightened with something so typical with which I used to deal during my early life. It clearly shows how good and promising the local gaming industry can be. I loved it!

Slightly slow paced, absolutely worth it. ATMOSPHERE: 10/10 Top-tier tension building, that alone deserves an award, remember my words. The setting captures that sense of foreignness that perfectly achieves the uncanny valley effect. Visually nice and amazing atmospheric sound design, I was pleasantly surprised by the level of attention to detail. STORY: 6/10 Not bad, would like a richer/deeper storyline but I guess itā€™s okay for the type of game. Got two endings so far, not sure if there are more. VALUE FOR PRICE: 9/10 This game is underpriced. The only reason Iā€™m not giving it a 10 is that itā€™s a pretty straightforward experience and it doesnā€™t offer much replayability besides trying to get the different endings. FUN: 8.5/10 At first it felt a bit like a walking simulator with extra steps, but don't be fooled by that, every night has different mechanics, I particularly liked the ā€œquieter whistle = dangerā€ one (youā€™ll know what Iā€™m talking about when you get there). Way above average for an indie horror game.
