[Review] Mortisomem on PlayStation 5 | PS4Blog.net

Alright, let’s talk about Mortisomem. So, Sometimes You and David Pateti decided, “Hey, why not mix old-school horror vibes with a bit of Brazilian folklore?” And bam! We’re back in 1917 Brazil with Donald Barnes, some American merchant who somehow ends up tangled in a creepy tale, all through his PlayStation 5 adventures. Feels like stepping into a grainy 1990s nightmare, which, oddly, has its charm.

Imagine you’re just going home after hearing some wild story about a dude-turned-vengeful demon, and suddenly, you’re being chased by something that might just be him—this Mortisomem creature. Anyway—wait, think back—it’s late, you’re tired, and next thing you know, you’re in the forest, hoping to not end up demon food. Definitely not ideal.

The gameplay itself is straight-up first-person. You’re Donald, using analog sticks to move and look around. Press X, you run—if you have stamina left. No marathon sprinter here, folks. Jump with Square, fiddle with objects or people using Circle—it’s all very hands-on. And hey, you might end up packing heat with a revolver. Never thought you’d need gun skills for folklore, did ya?

Oh! Let’s not forget the collectibles and maps. Open your inventory with L1, poke around, see what’s what. Find a gun? Great. Aim with R1, shoot with Square. But seriously, listen for the audio shift when something’s after you. The screen glitches a bit too. Yep, just to keep you on your toes.

And then we’ve got trophies—because who doesn’t love a good achievement system? There’s a whole bunch, including a Platinum for the collectors. The objectives? Pure meme energy. Pet a dog, get rickrolled… because why not, right? But some stuff you’ll just have to discover for yourself.

Anyway, Mortisomem on PlayStation 5 (and PS4, by the way) is going for $9.99. If you’re hunting scares and nostalgia, maybe give it a whirl. Or don’t. Who am I to tell you how to live your life?

Oh, almost forgot—this came from a PS5 copy, courtesy of Sometimes You. Honestly, I’m still not sure why I remember that.
