Original idea with a couple rough edges
The game does what it sets out to do well - it conveys a relatable, poetic visual story through gameplay of puzzling together personal effects of a lifetime on the move; my gripe is about some design choices which, in my playing of the game, took something away from the whole experience. A technical choice regarding the pixel graphics, which is cool when done well (it is done very well here) but clearly is a low-budget option that also comes with the downside of keeping the camera angle still - and that's where it hurts gameplay, on a few occasions where objects get hidden behind scene elements because the perspective view is static. A design choice of following one character, which adds to the emotional interest but makes the game very short. Perhaps the creators will add DLCs for other characters one day; It's hard to critique this point because there's only so many times one active person can move out and into places in her life, and yet... gameplay-wise it curtails the experience too much. Finally, the asking price, which in light of the previous points as well as the fact the game offers no replayability whatsoever (except for a couple achievements you can always go back for) makes it hard for me to recommend the game. I know I'm cheap, but I usually don't mind paying extra for a game that I can come back to, but this one can be exhausted in a sitting if you want to, without much trouble. If you're intrigued by the theme and mechanic- as I was - and think you can overlook my caveats, you'll probably enjoy this game enough if only for a few hours.
