Luto is an exceptionally well made psychological horror experience and especially as debut game from an indie studio it's an impressive achievement. The game's pacing is neither too slow nor too fast and is truly well-crafted and some of the puzzles are really challenging. If you're willing to embrace the somewhat stripped-down gameplay, you'll find a well-written story that's not only entertaining but also emotionally engaging.

A stunningly presented psychological horror title with some excellent twists and turns that is only let down by a few obtuse puzzles, Luto is a strong debut title and easily makes its case as one of the better indie horrors in recent times.

Sin ánimo de extenderme mucho más, he de concluir que el largo desarrollo de Luto (unos 4/5 años) ha merecido la pena y tenemos ante nosotros una obra dirigida a todos aquellos que disfrutaron con P.T. Con una factura técnica excepcional y una atmósfera muy bien elaborada, Luto se consolida como otro triunfo más de la escena independiente nacional y cualquier fan del terror debería probarla. Sólo podemos achacar un mejor diseño de los puzles, pero por lo demás, las 5 horas (dependiendo de lo que te atasques en los puzles) que te puede durar son plenamente disfrutables.

Luto is not a game for everyone, and that is part of its merit. It does not seek to be a typical survival horror game, nor an action-packed festival with cheap scares every two minutes. It is an intimate, short (4 to 6 hours long) and concentrated experience...

Luto is a tense, cryptic walking sim that’ll challenge players’ puzzling skills and patience as it moves relatively slow. The house is well designed and the game offers unique mechanics that will mess with players. Although given its sluggishness and puzzle based gameplay, this might turn off some gamers looking for some good scares and actions. If you’re a die-hard fan of the horror genre, you’ll absolutely want to play Luto. For those looking for something a bit faster and terrifying might want to look elsewhere.

Puede que el juego sea, como su nombre lo indica, una historia sobre la muerte, pero es precioso por donde se lo mire; la única pega es que es tan bueno que su corta duración pesa muchísimo simplemente porque el que lo juega va a querer seguir descubriendo los misterios de aquella historia que cuenta los pesares de los que ya no están entre nosotros y de los que aún luchan con todas sus fuerzas para llevar las secuelas de una pérdida.

Luto works on the border between psychological horror and puzzle game. Unfortunately, the latter part doesn't always work and breaks the rhythm of the game. In addition, the plot, which verges on surreal, does not hold up until the end. Otherwise, the horror from the Spanish studio offers a great atmosphere, absurd events and a dark work of mourning.
