Perspective
Critical Reflex was founded in 2020, as a fully remote video game publisher that focuses on "experimental, atmospheric, genre-bending titles".[1] The CEO of the company describes it as a publisher that wants to promote a developer's vision long-term, that makes projects "from fans, for fans".[3]
On 20 October 2023, Critical Reflex, a sub-label company CR Channel focused on working with horror games, now included games such as Drowned Lake, Teleforum, Buckshot Roulette and Flawless Abbey.[4] CR Channel was described by company as "haunted television broadcast you tune into by accident at midnight".
On 5 April 2024, the company released a game called Buckshot Roulette on Steam, that originally started as an indie game on Itch.io by Estonian developer Mike Klubnika.[5] The game quickly attracted mass attention, collecting more than 6,000 reviews in 4 days on Steam, with 96% of them being positive, and peaking over 75,000 viewers on Twitch upon its launch.[6]
On 26 September 2024, the video game Mouthwashing developed by Wrong Organ was published on Steam. The game has collected about 1,500 positive reviews in 9 days, achieving a user score of 9.0 on Metacritic, being one of the highest-rated games of 2024.[7] By 20 February 2024, the game has sold 500,000 copies on Steam, winning "Best Narrative" and "Players' Choice" categories in The Horror Game Awards 2024.[8][9]
