Know by heart

Know by heart is a lovely, beautifully told story. The game does have some jank, some things could have been a bit more polished, but none of it truly takes away from the wonderful experience Ice Pick Lodge presents with this title. The game is a wonderful addition to the IPL catalogue, and I’m excited to see what other projects they release in the future.

This is a really touching and emotional visual novel with some light puzzle and point and click gameplay elements. It does feel a bit awkward to control and navigate at times, but I don't know how much it really matters for this type of game. If you're going to play it, you're going to play it for the atmosphere and the story, and there is a lot of heart there. If you're familiar with these developers and enjoyed their bigger games like The Void or Pathologic, then you should know going into it that this game is a lot simpler, and maybe the writing is not quite as good as you've come to expect, but there is still a lot to like here and it's definitely worth a try.
