(An easy dark-fantasy game. Baluthar - Details (ifdb.org))
Idolizing Vengeance.
A lonely bedridden father… His son gone down the well to seek demonic assistance in avenging his mother’s death…
A statue of Baluthar, their self-erected god of Vengeance.
In a wakeful moment, the father realizes he does not want his son sacrificed in the name of revenge. He must bring him back from the underworld.
Baluthar is a well-written dark-fantasy game. The descent into the caverns under the well, infested with carrion-eating beetles gets under your skin as you explore the rooms. The introduction does a good job of describing the elderly and weakened father. This does not really play a role in the rest of the game though. The son remains a mystery until the very end of the game, and even then the player has to deduce his character from vague clues.
The map is small but very efficient. It serves as an atmospheric backdrop to the few rather easy puzzles.
I really liked the ending, simple as it was.
An hour, maybe two, of light horror cave exploring.
