About Ayin
Ayin is a surreal 3D platformer that leans hard into speedrun culture and trolling. Made by CrimsoneArt and released in 2026, it’s all about navigating razor-thin precision across brutal levels while figuring out a world designed to provoke. The setup is simple: collect keys to unlock new areas, but the execution is anything but. Levels shift, enemies spawn randomly after failed attempts, and the UI glitches to mirror your growing rage. It’s not just about skill, it’s about outlasting a game that seems to enjoy your frustration.
Gameplay
You jump, dash, and grapple through procedurally generated stages that demand pixel-perfect timing. Each level hides keys behind near-impossible platforming, but the catch is that once you pass a section, it can change when you return. The game tracks your progress but punishes you for it, like spawning extra hazards after a few retries. Sessions often end in repeated deaths, but the low price and optional speedrun leaderboards keep you coming back. The controls are tight but unforgiving, with a 0.5-second window for many jumps. You’ll spend hours grinding for a single secret, only to laugh at the absurdity of it all.
What Players Think
Ayin holds a 4.2/5 average rating, with 78% of players completing it. The community calls it “a love letter to rage-quitters” (68% of reviews). Average playtime is 12.5 hours, though some log 30+ chasing secrets. 70% of players rate it as “frustrating,” 60% as “challenging,” and 45% as “hilarious.” The 200 achievements are dense, with 17 tied to “rage” milestones like “Die 100 Times in One Session.” Price is $19.99, with 45% of owners owning it for over 6 months. One review notes, “It’s like playing a game made by your future self who’s already given up.”
PlayPile's Take
Ayin thrives if you enjoy punishing platformers with a side of dark humor. The $20 price is fair for the content, but the 200 achievements are the real hook, 43% of completists unlocked all. It’s not for everyone: if you hate permadeath or randomizing levels, walk away. But for fans of games that laugh at their own cruelty, Ayin is a masterclass in spiteful design. Just don’t play it angry, you’ll only fuel the game’s agenda.
