About
There is a mountain that towers over a wasteland.
.
Schubert never has had any interest in much other than sleeping and barricading himself in trash, until the sanctity of his garbage dump is disturbed by a violent woodland dog. So, Schubert decides to try to find a solution to his dog issues. On his zig zagging travels he meets locals to the towering mountain, and they have one message about the curious landmark… DON'T GO UP THERE.

This is worth every penny. The art, music and everything about it is amazing. I think this dev team will go far. Runs perfectly on steamdeck too!
This game is a crunchy type of charming. Grotesque and silly designs and animation abound. As most folks have shared it's short, odd and trippy. To be specific however, in gameplay its 50% whimsy and 50% dodge mechanics as you traverse through the caves talking to strange beings. Other than that there are two small minigames invovlving matching stone faces and punching bugs for points. While I think i enjoyed my strange experience, I do wish there was more. But overall would recommend purely for the character and personality of this game. Please enjoy its bizarro & jagged edges.
Schubert we know you can't buy this game
i like it.......
well... that's was... something
It's a walk around point-and-click sort of game, with no mouse action. Really short. There's no controls in-game sadly, but it's E to interact and WASD or the arrow keys to move. The sound design and the visuals really make the game. There's quite a lot of flashing lights but they have a disable option in game for that. I like it, it is short... but would I recommend playing it yourself vs watching a video of the gameplay? No.
THIS GAME GOOD BREUH!
Interesting concept with a great sense of originality and artwork! Works decently well on steamdeck, minus a small portion of the screen displaying previous cutscenes.
A very simple, trippy drawn game with really groovy music. But.. but.. but.. even though I agree with other reviewers who enjoyed it, the fact that it is so short still spoiled the experience for me a bit. I was just starting to get into the story and vibe with the visuals when suddenly it was all over right after that puzzle with random shapes and objects. It’s a shame, of course, but still it is definitely worth its ridiculously low price. I would really like to see something similar from the developer again (And I get that everything being hand-drawn is really cool these days, thank God they didn't put in any AI crap) just at least an hour or longer next time.
This game is super cool, weird and vibey, it starts off fun and stays engaging. The art and animation took me off guard, and the music is really good. I recommend this game to anyone with a spare dollar, it's super fun, and worth every penny.
