The game drags you in because of its touching story and graphics. Thanks to its reasonable difficulty you will not lose your nerves and will be driven by curiosity what comes next. The only big minus I can see there is control along with design of some obstacles that will force you to repeat some parts many times.
Pros:
- nice artistic graphics
- atmospheric environment
- story
- level design
- close checkpoints
Cons:
- controls responsivity
- design of some obstacles
I am giving it Thumbs Up and VideoGaming Father's Index 7 out of 10.
3/5 6.5/10
I played similar games like this b4 such as Limbo, Out of Line, External Hope. Forma 8 too in some aspects. And yes its true this game isnt Limbo, or as good as, and thats okay because its hard to beat that masterpiece.
It deserves more positive feedback, its a decent short game with a heavy underlying story to it all that I think too many are either too impatient and speed driven to care about or even notice, which is reflected in most of the negative reviews over on steam that I read b4 writing my own and had me scratching my head a bit at the absurdity.
Some ppl find every tiny thing and make it more than it has to be.
I dont agree with most of them and its sad to see a game almost 10 yrs old not have more positive feedback than it currently has.
Most reviews, gd and bad, are old by now or far in between, but to sum up what most say and my oppinion on it:
-No its not Limbo, we established that alr.
-Yes u move too slow when climbing up on ledge and it can be frustrating at times but mainly during the few chase sections. Learn to jump so u land on ur feet instead of ur hands ;o
-Yes its short, that doesnt make it bad per se.
-Yes the puzzles are easy/easy'ish, or at least not as challenging as in some other games, and thats also okay. It was still a good game with a sad story that was perhaps more of the point than high IQ puzzles.
-Yes the chase sections can be a little hard/stressfull, but they are short and I managed them just fine despite my middle age by now.
-Controls are fine, not clunky- I hate clunky and this was not that bad at all!(played with kb/mouse)
-The artstyle looks bad? I think it looks fine, ur just too used to AAA games by now.I actually loved the colour palettes and how it change.
-The story is boring? I wouldnt say boring but yes it could have been told a bit better so its easier to grasp.
-No bugs here.
One boss fight will need several to many attempts for most ppl.
I enjoyed it!
Price is fair.

I don't regret buying it for .99 but I wasn't interested in finishing it. And Limbo is a great game, there's a lot worse that could be said about a game. It's okay. It's 3/5. Worth a dollar. Not worth the full price.
