Reviews
“A brief, but tense experience that you won’t easily forget.”
Indie Games +
“The Terrible Old Man is an enjoyable adventure that everyone should have a play through at least once.”
Indie Retro News
“The Terrible Old Man serves as a great, creepy hors d’oeuvre to your night of horror (which I do not recommend trying with an actual terrible old man). With a bizarre, surreal art style and a handful of decent puzzles, this one’s worth a download as the sun begins to set and the eldritch abominations come out to play.”
