Sutef

Produced by indie videogame developer Rottentater, Fetus is a puzzle game with an unsettling atmosphere and an interesting mechanic: the levels wrap around themselves, allowing to fall through a hole and reappearing at the top of the screen. Oh, and your enemy is, obviously, a Fetus Terrible.

suteF, the sequel, expands the abilities of the player character: he can also jump, grab ledges, and throw a grappling hook to reach further places, or pull crates towards himself. Accordingly, levels are more varied and complex. Get it here.


 * All There in the Manual: The background of the story is mostly explained on the site.
 * Alphabetical Theme Naming: The names of the chapters are in alphabetical order. Awake, Beginning, Captivity, Duffle, the missing chapter E, and Fetus.
 * Blood From the Mouth
 * Camera Abuse: Everytime you change levels, the screen fills with static. Fitting, since you have to reach a giant TV screen filled with static to do that. Subverted when you don't use the screens; for example, a white flash when the level becomes snowy, and a red one when you access the Void Rims.
 * Crate Expectations
 * Driven to Suicide: You see a few doing this.
 * Eldritch Location: The entire game is played in different parts of the "Abyss": a normal part of it, the external limit of the Abyss (Abyssal Shell), its center (Playland), a zone between the Abyss and Reality (Chaos), somewhere outside both of them (Void), and the border of Chaos (The Edge).
 * Eye Scream
 * Frickin' Laser Beams
 * Giant Space Flea From Nowhere: Orbis/Catfish, from chapter A. Its background is explained in the site.
 * Gravity Screw: Some pads reverse gravity for whatever steps on them, be it crates or yourself.
 * Hannibal Lecture
 * Mind Screw
 * Missing Episode: Chapter E.
 * One-Winged Angel: Fetus, obviously.
 * Clipped-Wing Angel
 * Secret Level: Void Rims. You need to reach spots out of the normal path to access them. All of them are hard to complete.
