Baobabs Mausoleum: Grindhouse Edition

Over-the-top and delightfully weird at times, Baobab’s Mausoleum was the breath of fresh air that I didn’t know I needed.

Baobabs Mausoleum: Grindhouse Edition is one of the most surreal and strange games developed in Spain. Throughout its plot we can see the continuous experimentation of the creator, which causes a lack of cohesion and that it doesn't always work. Completing the whole, we find a retro 80's style, accompanied by a pretty good soundtrack, but it gets repetitive.

It’s how a video game should be - it's never too difficult and it doesn’t take itself too seriously. The fourth wall breaks and callbacks to other chapters had me laughing out loud. The surreal nature of the plot and presentation won’t appeal to everyone, but for someone who loves the stranger side of life, this will be right up your street. It certainly lives up to the Twin Peaks-meets-Zelda description and then some.
