Great indie game with a great story line!

This was what you'd call a nice morning's worth of entertainment. That's not a bad thing, especially at the price. It took me about two and a half hours to finish it, even seeing all the alternate options at branch points. That doesn't mean its bad, just keep in mind its meant to be a short adventure that leaves you feeling satisfied at the price you paid for it. I'm hoping to see the folks who made this game make more games in the same vein. Of course I'm big into classic adventure games, so maybe I'm a bit biased. It may not have been a classic adventure game, but it scratched the itch to a degree. I've seen a number of adventure games use a branching tree system where you can go back and make other choices. For a game meant more for kids, the method they used for it was nice. The story book format in critical scenes was an excellent touch. The narrator's voice was also pleasing and fit the tone of the story as a whole.

Nice art, well written dialogues, a simple yet good scenario. Don't look for much agency over the storyline though, this is rather about listening to stories of different timelines. Let's just put it this way : childs can absolutely play this game, and you should play it to.

The game was looks insteresting when saw the promotion detail and video, but it's a simple story with not much fun. The overall gameplay are boring and slow, the speech speed are slow. the basic control uses wasd and space which is okay, but the other keys not. Not too much experiences. Disappointed by the promotion video and game. I would like to use tab as map/backpack, r/t/ for task, and x/r for techonology tree in this game. There is: NO REMAP for junk zxcvbnm,./ control; NO anti-aliasing for dialogs, very piece anti-aliasing with game graphics; NO menu and direct into game; SLOW conversation without adjuster to control speed; LOW volume at start of the game; NO running mode when press shift; Looking for update.
