Blueberry

Eine wunderbare Reise durchs Leben, die unter die Haut geht. Vererbte Traumata, die über Familiengenerationen hinweg weitergegeben werden, sind hier schmerzhaft, aber auch taktvoll dargestellt. Blueberry charakterisiert Trauma auf wunderbare Weise durch seine Mechaniken. Hinter jeder verschlossenen Tür verbirgt sich eine schmerzhafte Erinnerung, der man sich stellen muss, um Frieden mit sich selbst zu schließen. Danke Mel und Team für dieses wunderbare und wichtige Spiel!

A thought provoking story that explores some heavy topic.

It's very wholesome and the narrative is played out in a unique way, really enjoyable game <3

A very heartfelt, playable therapy session <3 While the platforming could be tedious at times, the dialogue was written with a lot of thought and care, and the narrative structure stayed engaging until the end. Also, the art and music are beautiful!

A falta de terminar el último episodio, puedo decir que el juego está muy bien. Es durísimo, pero es necesario. En este juego nos adentramos en los recuerdos de una anciana con depresión. Iremos creciendo con ella, desde su más tierna infancia, viendo cómo crece en una familia desestructurada en la que no solo sus padres sino que también ella sufren las consecuencias de la adicción. Luego creceremos con ella en su adolescencia, donde tendremos que tomar decisiones difíciles. Y finalmente nos adentraremos en su edad adulta, cómo navega la maternidad tras ver su experiencia en su infancia. A falta de ver el final y cómo todo enlaza de nuevo con el inicio, puedo decir que es un juego que recomiendo mucho. Es un muy duro ver cómo retratan las consecuencias de la adicción, el maltrato, las familias desestructuradas y una pobre salud mental. Pero, al mismo tiempo, es importante conocer otras realidades y ponernos en la piel de esta chica para poder empatizar con este tipo de situaciones. El juego artísticamente es precioso, la música es increíble. Los diálogos y las escenas son durísimos, eso sí. Pero es un juego necesario.

I liked the story of this game. The animations are beautiful, and the events make you feel and reflect on your own life story and actions. I didn't find that the platforming added much to the game, but overall I would recommend this game to anyone who likes to be introspective through the lens of another.

Blueberry ist ein wirklich schönes Spiel mit Tiefgang! Die Story und der Look sind bezaubernd - klare Empfehlung :)

Short but emotionally potent! Wow. I absolutely adored this game from start to finish. I was intending to play for just an hour or so... and then I ended up getting so involved that I not only beat the game once -- but twice -- in the same sitting. (Needed that second playthrough to help me process everything & see if I could unlock new outcomes, lol.) So happy I found it! I decided to give it a try after the creator gave a talk at a games festival I attended where she shared about her 8-year-long journey of creating this game. I was touched by her story and could personally relate to so much of what she shared. And that continues into the game itself. It was so emotionally resonant it made me cry a couple of times (The cat! That's all I'm saying.). By the end of my 6-hour bender, I felt like I had undergone some deep therapy and was changed for the better. Not only is the story touching and resonant, but the gameplay itself felt so therapeutic. The puzzles weren't especially challenging, which I think was exactly what was needed. The music was calming and supported the emotional beats. And ultimately, the game felt like one big 3-hour-long meditation. I loved the creativity that went into it the art as well. How each stage really becomes an embodiment of that particular stage of life. How eating food relieves depression. How depression literally colors how you see the world. Truly, a work of art from start to finish! If you are someone with mommy issues... maybe Blueberry is exactly the therapy your soul has been craving. :)

有点短，不过是个完成度很高的游戏。一口气打完了但是全成就不得不多周目。感觉算是个现实主义的故事，玩得我心里五味杂陈。属于前劲大后劲也大的类型。

This is a heart-rending look into navigating life and having sympathy for everyone else doing the same thing. The platformer gameplay is a clever way of showing how memory works, but the highlight of the game is the kitchen-sink drama and how the player's choices contribute to that drama. A touching interactive story/puzzle game.
