EMPORIUM

It's short, but for under $3.00 CAD, it's worthwhile. The intro-theme reel for Severance reminded me about this game years later.

É triste. Recomendo.

i think this game gave me a migraine. might play again

An interesting waling simulator with dark graphics and nice art. There was potential for a bit more action, but it is a good value at its reasonable price point.

Played it a while ago and I think I liked it. Not for everyone.

People are comparing this game to Kentucky Route Zero, but I feel like that's a bit unfair to both games. Both are allegorical and surrealist narrative experiences, and both use a low-poly 3D art style, but beyond that they're really quite different. KRZ explores a variety of different themes and subjects as part of a journey carried about by its cast, where the journey itself is quite easy to follow along when taken entirely at face value. Emporium is a lot more restrained, personal, and open to interpretation. Like the description says, it's a vignette. They explore fundamentally different themes in fundamentally different ways. If you like these sorts of surreal and experimental narratives (and you probably already know if you do), Emporium's low price of entry is well worth it.
