Frustrations aside, Baobab’s Mausoleum was an incredibly fun indie experience. Over-the-top at times and delightfully weird, it was the breath of fresh air that I didn’t know I needed. If you’re looking for something a little different, I recommend downloading it and finding out for yourself exactly who is the 64th inhabitant of Flamingo Creek.

Deiland is a solid 15-20 hour farming adventure with enough RPG elements to keep it interesting on both fronts. The presentation is stunning and keeps you playing simply to stay a little while longer on such a cozy little planet with such an earnest little prince. It’s an easy to recommend game to anyone who is a fan of farming simulators, adventure RPGs, or its charming art style. Yes, there are definitely issues with the build mode (or lack thereof) that keep the experience from being all it could be. These issues, however, do not outweigh what is so charming about Deiland.

Taken all together, the game is wildly successful in implementing its premise. Kharon’s Crypt is dark, challenging, creative, and most importantly – fun. While the specific genre and aesthetics at work here may not be for everyone, there’s no denying the game is solidly made and a great play from start to finish.
