What is really distinctive and appealing about Clea, however, is how methodical it is. Still, what narrative is there is the kind that will give you chills, and while the developer might be Australian, their interest in Japanese horror goes beyond the aesthetics – this thing gets Japanese spookiness down pat.
It’s the right set-up for something that’s only a couple of hours long from the start through to the finish (at a generous stretch), and is more akin to a haunted house experience than a more traditional horror game. Their family has a dark past, but this game isn’t overly interested in storytelling and a lot of what is really going on is left to the imagination as you watch Clea creep along, trying to avoid the monsters.

It’s also a little raw and doesn’t live up to its premise, but it respects the player’s time and offers a lot of promise for the future of this fledgling developer.Ĭlea is a stalker horror game, in which you play as a little girl and her brother, trying to escape a mansion full of creepy things. It’s the product of a largely one-man Aussie indie developer, and it comes with a strong vision, some lovely aesthetics, and all the right ideas.
Clea is the kind of game that you’ll want to champion, because it is clearly a labour of love deal.
