Carimara: Beneath the Forlorn Limbs – A Quiet, Haunting Experience (no commentary)

Carimara: Beneath the Forlorn Limbs is a quiet, unsettling exploration game that trusts the player to listen more than they act. You wander a house that remembers, speaks in fragments, and asks questions that don’t always want answers.

In this playthrough, I explore Carimara at my own pace, piecing together its story through environmental details, conversations with spirits, and moments that feel more felt than explained. The game doesn’t rush you, and it doesn’t hand you clear solutions — instead, it invites patience, reflection, and a willingness to sit with uncertainty.

I’ll be honest with you all — when I reached the end, I did end up looking up how to solve one of the endings. I’m sure I was overlooking something simple, but I just could not figure it out on my own. I wanted to be transparent about that. Even so, the experience still lingered with me in a way that feels very intentional, and I don’t think knowing that step took away from what the game was trying to do.

There’s a haunting beauty to Carimara’s presentation, from its low-fi visuals to the way its story unfolds in whispers rather than exposition. Even when the meaning isn’t fully clear, the atmosphere and emotion carry the experience.

If you enjoy narrative-driven games that value mood, mystery, and emotional resonance over mechanics, this one is worth stepping into.
