CARIMARA: Beneath the Forlorn Limbs is a charmingly unsettling indie horror game that wraps players in an atmospheric embrace. With its distinctive art style and engaging narrative, it beckons players to explore a world rich in folklore and mystery. However, despite its creative premise and artistic merits, the game's brevity and underdeveloped central mystery may leave some players wanting more. This juxtaposition of strengths and weaknesses results in an experience that, while delightful, feels incomplete. It's a commendable effort for a horror adventure but lacks the depth to fully resonate.
