AGS Panel Rating

While this game has all the elements of an adventure game - inventory, dialogs, interactions - it doesn't feel like one. It is a philosophical experience in a dystopic land- and soundscape. How will you decide?

Pick of the Month

January 2015

A short game which explores the themes of life, eternity and the meaning of our actions. An example of what the adventure game medium can achieve without losing its characteristics, teeming with ideas but not overwhelming the player.

Very poetic and metaphoric about our lives... On the puzzle side it's pretty simple, but the poetic side is what it's all about.

A moving, profound, and existential experience. This is art. And I loved the music.

One of the most immersive and, regarding story and visuals, innovative ags games I've played. I wish more game makers would have this approach to their creation. Wonderfull game and I LOVED the soundtrack.
