Touching little story
I bought this game on 50% off, and played through it in roughly 5-6 hours (not bothering to do the small extra collecting stuff). The game resolves around a strong of body but elderly man as he wakes up in the afterlife. You glimpse back at key events in his life via levels that are a mix of light platforming and puzzles, together with a time manipulating mechanic. As you progress the level, you get wonderful little cutscenes, atmospheric fantastical landscapes and emotional, competent music. In his past, he has experienced both positive and negative things. These you get in about equal measure- and the levels themselves are designed with symbolism in mind, sometimes quite cleverly. By the end, I had shed a tear or two. I think the game was lovely. The negatives of the game are the controls that feel imprecise, and that some of the levels have infuriating platform elements. I'm not saying they were challenging, but rather just... annoying. Sloppy control of the character and at times difficulty to estimate length of jump/landing, and so on. Additionally, while I feel that 5-6 hours is the perfect length for this type of game, I find it hard to justify the original price tag of roughly 22$. It's always hard to put a price on games that lean more towards 'art' & 'story' rather than gameplay, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it to anyone for that price. For 11$ however (the price I paid), I'd rather it a fine 4/5.
