Pit of Babel 1.0.7

Low budget indie games tend to be some of the most creative around, assuming they aren't just flipping assets poorly in Unity. Without the budget to create an epic, the creators instead need to focus on one unique feature to make their games stick out. From these restrictions come some truly inventive concepts. One of them is Pit of Babel, which is an incredibly surreal game where you grind up little flesh monsters into Tetris pieces to build them into a tower.

To play Pit of Babel, simply unzip the files into a folder and run the executable.

This game is fairly short, with a playthrough only taking around twenty minutes to get through. The gameplay is an addictive fusion of Tetris and monster farming. To create tetris pieces, you have to toss these ugly cute fleshy beasts that resemble a maggot or a sheep into the grinder, after which it will spit out a tetromino for you to use.

You have to be careful not to run out of these flesh monsters, so you'll need to keep at least one of them around to feed and reproduce so you don't run out of building pieces.

There is also a surprisingly well written story that goes along with this gameplay that focuses around two strangers and the power the area holds. It manages to deal with some mind-blowing concepts that's all the more surprising given its tiny runtime.

All in all, Pit of Babel is a very absorbing experience that is well worth the time you're putting in.
