It’s more likely this is simply due to the writing just not being very good.Īs this review drops several days after launch, I’ll forgo the obvious name-related wordplay to describe my experience playing Agony. The story is not especially interesting, and some later scenes are hard to follow, which might be a symptom of some of the game’s most obscene moments being cut from the game before release to avoid an AO rating. The protagonist’s search for the Goddess puts him on a path to prove himself to her in return for his life back, using his special body-hopping abilities to overcome hell’s multiple layers. To Hell’s occupants, the Goddess is either a being of irresistible lust worth eternal damnation to be near or a sadistic overlord that must be avoided. But in the end - nearly two years later - the most shocking thing is how dull Agony is.Īgony follows a lost soul cast to Hell that’s in search of Hell’s architect, the Red Goddess. This extremely graphic and sexual game set out to shock players the day its initial Kickstarter campaign launched – with depictions of mutilated bodies, nudity, and grotesque architecture. Madmind Studio appears to be one such video game developer that reached too high when creating Agony, their crowdfunded horror title set in the underworld. There are many tales of artistic visions becoming skewed due to lost focus and misplaced ambition. While I’m not a believer in such absolutes, there’s something to be said about the negative influence money has had on creative individuals.
