This game is well crafted and tells an emotional story, albeit in the span of four hours tops if you're really the explorer type. The art style is reminicent of the experimental flash games of the Newgrounds days (props to veteran indie developer Thomas Brush for redesigning his classic story) while blending that simplistic 2D cartoonish indie design found in games like Night In The Woods. The music is also well done to fit the themes and levels of the game while adding an additional layer of emotion to the story. This game's story stands as its crowning acheivement. For anyone that's experienced tragic loss of any kind (myself included), the biggest gut punches take place towards the end of the game. While the story itself touches on loss, I would not consider it to be a trigger-sensitive game. However, heed the warnings if you're prone to being triggered by memories of lost loved ones. Aside from those shining gems, a few points of criticism include: - The game is rather short for a $15 price tag...get it on sale if you can - The bosses and enemies are painlessly easy...I didn't take a hit until the very last level - A minor "game-breaking" bug in the sewers where you can roll the inflated kid into a pit where he cannot be freed, requiring you to restart from the beginning.
