"Jokes aside, whilst I enjoyed the platforming on offer in 1000 Deaths, I did find the camera controls to be a little janky. This was especially annoying on the timed arcade runs. Whilst it didn’t ruin the platforming for me, it was a touch annoying to die to a camera issue on occasion. However, the platforming aspect was tight and responsive. With the interesting mechanic of my character being able to defy gravity, walk around curved edges, or hang upside down. It’s a small detail, but it enhanced the gameplay and offered some much-needed variety in the levels. The arcade mode was a lot of fun, and trying to beat the time trials was both frustrating and exhilarating. Attempting to take on my previous scores’ ghost was a nice touch and helpful for tackling my best times."

About Myths are 100% True
Myths are 100% True is an indie platformer with a warped sense of humor. You play as Hlev, a guy obsessed with capturing myths on camera for his web videos. The game leans into 2000s internet nostalgia with absurd scenarios and visuals. It launched in November 2025 for PC and offers a single-player experience. The core loop is about platforming through surreal levels, using a camera to interact with the environment and uncover secrets. It’s a short, punchy game aimed at fans of offbeat design and retro references. The vibe is chaotic but charming, with a focus on exploration over precision.
Gameplay
The gameplay mixes standard platforming with unique camera mechanics. You jump, dash, and climb through levels filled with floating islands, glitchy textures, and cryptic puzzles. The camera isn’t just a tool, it’s central to progress. Pointing it at certain objects triggers animations or reveals hidden paths. Each level is tight and varied, with a focus on lateral movement and timing. Sessions usually last 15, 30 minutes, making it ideal for quick bursts. The controls are responsive but occasionally finicky, especially during tight jumps. The camera’s role adds a layer of experimentation, though some puzzles feel obtuse. The game rewards persistence but can frustrate if you get stuck on a particular sequence.

One review says, “A love letter to 2000s web culture, but the difficulty spikes are jarring.” Achievement completion sits at 89%, with 12 trophies for secrets, photography, and speedrun goals.

PlayPile's Take
Myths are 100% True is best for fans of niche humor and experimental platformers. Priced at $19.99, it’s a low-risk buy for its inventive camera mechanics and retro flair. The 12 achievements and secret hunts add extra value, but the game’s brevity might feel underwhelming for some. If you enjoy weird, tightly designed levels and don’t mind occasional frustration, it’s worth a playthrough. Skip if you prefer polished, story-driven adventures. The real appeal is in its unapologetic weirdness.
