What a wonderful little gem. I bought this game on sale but now even seeing it I want to pay more! It's well worth the asking price of $4.99, just know that it's a short short "game" but more importantly its an emotional work of art. I've only been through 1 possible version, but I see the tags say that it has multiple endings. Maybe I'll go through it another time or two down the line. Thank you for this devs!
Это необычный интерактивный опыт про человека, который потерял свою любовь, и теперь ему нужно переехать из их общей квартиры. Он ходит по дому, смотрит на вещи, вспоминает, как они их связывают, при этом воспоминание выбирает сам игрок. После приезжает машина и мы просто носим коробки туда, и собственно всё. Это не игра в привычном понимании, это интерактивный опыт переживания потери. Довольно сильно, эмоционально и необычно.

15-20 minute narrative short about a man packing up his house and dealing with his grief over his dead wife. Nothing interesting here on either a mechanical or narrative level; sure, it's short, but there are plenty of better walking sims you can play instead.
Good story, decent graphics, kinda slow gameplay but its clearly ment as a short story game rather then a fleshed out concept
Lovely little 20 min title about nostalgia and letting go, starting anew and dealing with the hardships of life to move on. Nothing spectacular, but the lighting is great, the style accomplished and the runtime wisely chosen. 6.5/10
Didn't like it. Full walkthrough 15 minutes. Story is cheesy and gameplay is horrible (walking).
disappointing that it only took like 20 mins to finish this.
15-20dklık oynanışa sahip hikaye oyunu, basitçe yeni yere taşınırken ana karakterin gözünden ayrılığı hissetmeniz istenmiş, müzikleri gayet güzel fakat oynanış süresinin kısalığından alınmasını pek önermiyorum, steam key satan sitelerde ekmek 17.50 iken 5-10tl'ye satılıyor oynamak isterseniz onlardan alabilirsiniz.
This game is very short, but it does have multiple endings, so you can immediately replay it. I do like the narration and the design/atmosphere of the game. That being said the gameplay isn't terribly exciting, so trying to get a different ending ends up mostly being just impatiently going through all the actions again to get to the ending. I'm not sure what affects the edning, but I have the feeling that most of the choices don't actually matter. I have gotten 2 endings which were both "good" satisfying endings and I assume the other endings are the same (I feel like maybe a bit more diversity in the endings would be good, but I will reserve my judgement until I have all endings). I will eventually play again to get all endings, it is a nice little story about grief and moving on. I got the game on sale for 1$, I don't think I would recommend buying it for normal price, just because of the small amount of content you get.
Cudów nie ma. Bardzo krótka gra narracyjna opowiadająca o uczuciach po stracie żony. Do przejścia w 20 minut.
