Black Resin

Introduction to Black Resin

You start out crouched in a dank cavern, your little shadowy character clutching a shard of something called black resin. The walls drip with strange chemicals, and every step forward feels like a dare—you’re not sure what’s waiting around the next corner, but you know you’ll need whatever courage you can muster. The pixel art is deceptively simple, yet those muted colors and flickering torches really drive home a sense of unease.

Movement unfolds one turn at a time, letting you pause and think before you dart into another room full of crawling horrors. Every scrap of resin you collect lets you tinker with your stats or unlock a new kind of weapon, and swapping between blades, shovels, and odd trinkets keeps the loop feeling fresh. If you like knowing that every corridor might hide a new relic or a nasty surprise, this little roguelike will keep you on your toes.

There isn’t a lot of hand-holding, and that’s part of the charm. Instead of pages of exposition, you find scraps of journal entries or cryptic symbols carved into stone. Piecing together what happened here becomes its own mini-puzzle, and it’s oddly satisfying to connect the dots between those fragments of lore and the twisted creatures roaming the halls.

What really gets you hooked is the sense of “just one more run.” Even when you tanked your last attempt against a boss that looks like it’s made of living glass, you almost want to jump back in, see what treasures you missed, or try a different load-out. There’s something magical about a game that makes defeat feel like just another part of the journey.
