Though it’s over far too soon, Repressed offers a satisfying series of challenging yet fair puzzles throughout a unique visual journey that tells a heartbreaking but surprisingly hopeful story of a wounded soul.
Repressed is a unique idea with clever visuals, and that can go a long way in video games. When it comes to gameplay, though, Repressed is very patchy with regards to putting out top tier quality puzzles, with long stretches of ambling through the ether. Added to a story that doesn’t do anything fresh within its hidden memories, Repressed feels like something of a missed opportunity.
This strange exploration of human psyche fails, and it fails completely. The basic game mechanics are wrong, therefore the interesting concept and all the artistic merit become wholly irrelevant.
Conceptually, Repressed is exactly the type of game that appeals to me. Delving into the repressed depths of the mind provides plenty of opportunities to tell an immensely profound and intriguing story. In practice, however, Repressed is actually quite bland and uninteresting. Mechanically uninventive and stylistically dull, there was little that kept me engaged besides the passable but rudimentary story. Repressed is hard to recommend for anyone besides those that are completely sold on the minimalist aesthetic or a limited creative concept.

Summary Repressed is a puzzle-adventure game in which you travel through your memories. Play as a shadow that’s on a journey inside your mind. Find answers to the questions bothering you. Navigate the maze that is your memory, and ease your mind in the process. Be careful not all memories are worth revisiting.
