Best for players who want a creepy, creative co-op extraction shooter with chaotic fun.
Reviews
The creator spends most of the video playing The Mound and repeatedly gives strong opinions on it, calling it one of the best Steam Next Fest demos, top three among extraction shooters they played, and praising its atmosphere, horror, creativity, and co-op chaos. He explicitly says the game is 'awesome,' rates the demo around a 9 or 10 out of 10, and only offers a minor criticism that the melee combat could be improved.

This is a full review of The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu, and the creator is overwhelmingly negative about nearly every aspect of it. He criticizes the clunky combat, weak Lovecraftian story, repetitive exploration, poor visuals, bugs, bad sound design, and says he would not recommend playing it in any mode.
