对这个游戏的印象类似于: 在网上刷到了一家看上去香甜诱人、精致无瑕的甜品店。光顾后发现只适合拍照,吃两口便让人没了胃口。 购买本作唯一值得安慰的是,网红店大多价格昂贵,而此游戏的价位则不会让本就只想拍照的人感到心疼。 综上,本作的受众是只奔着1-bit的画风,且基本不在意游戏的剧情与玩法体验的人,不推荐给认为剧情与玩法更重要的。
[h2]中评。[/h2] 一部很漂亮的游戏,画面采用了1-bit(单色)像素风,女性主角和猫猫都非常的美丽让我一直在截图!流程上只需要指向点击,时长在1小时内,是一部视觉小说+小游戏的组合版作品。 在立意上,它试图通过一群“非人类”的角色,去观察、拆解并理解人类的感性与生死观。我非常喜欢游戏里那些关于人性的标签——一个完整的人从来不是非黑即白的,而是善恶并存、充满缺点的。游戏没有去刻意美化人类,而是强调正是这些不完美和复杂性,才造就了一个个独特的个体。这种对于自我和人性的独特诠释,是文本中闪闪发光的部分。 然而遗憾的是,剧情在整体上还是欠缺了一些火候。能明显感觉到制作组想要表达和探讨的东西太多,框架拉得很大,但游戏的流程实在太短了,穿插的小游戏也过于简单。这就导致故事在结尾刚开始出现反转、玩家的情绪和好奇心刚被调动到最高点时,游戏就戛然而止。这种缺乏足够铺垫和情感沉淀的断崖式结局,让前面的精心设计显得有些力不从心,给人一种“想讲的东西太多反而草草收尾”的仓促感。不过妈妈实在太美了,出场的时候美的我心一颤... [b] 总的来说如果喜欢画风的话是可以入手的,想要看到一个逻辑严密、引人深思的剧情的话可能会让你失望。[/b]

The most beautiful pixel art I've ever seen. Come for the images, stay for the soffuse atmosphere and enveloping light. There isn't much here, you are buying the ticket for an exhibition. But what's wrong with that?
It's more like an piece of art then a game, with a great soundtrack and artstyle. Perfect for an hot Sunday Summer day where your brain is too fried to play anything else.
Short and sweet game with a good sense of atmosphere and aesthetic. If this seems at all interesting, it's hard not to recommend at only $2
This is an elaborate and aesthetically pleasing visual novel. The way the frames are directed reminds me of Villeneuve's films. The setting is somewhat similar to Blame! and The Library of Babel, and the story is reminiscent of both Blade Runner and The Egg. As a human, I go through life knowing I will eventually die, so I can only hope they won't make me turn dials in the afterlife.
我讨厌小游戏,但是两位女主很好看 完全不知道讲了个什么故事,但是两位女主很好看 也不知道想表达什么,但是两位女主很好看 而且还抽烟,所以满分(?
这个指针小游戏玩得有点让人着急TvT
I feel like the game was made mostly for the aesthetic aspect but it really nails it imo
Please devote 1 hour at most of your time to this game, so you can keep thinking about it for 99 more after you're done.
