I like to play story driven singleplayer games, and this was no exception. Fun game. Good story. You play as Thomas living in a small town outside of the city. You get to follow him and his wife Martha from moving out of the city to the country side and the years that follow. The gameplay is simple. You move and interact with objects. There's some lightweight puzzling going on. I encountered some minor bugs, but nothing too major or game breaking. A car was flipping weirdly during the intro. If you move into a wall then the character shakes weirdly. Steam cloud saves are not working. Although not a bug, but the symbol ` is sometimes used instead of '. Another polish pass could've flattened out these inconsistencies and bugs. All in all, the game is well worth it's price. Probably should've been a dollar or two more expensive.
Interesting game, nice short story and nice soundtrack

Riktigt Mysigt, åh klurigt spel, det där. riktigt grymt jobbat av er.
Great game! Played it on the Steam Deck. Flawless!
Cozy and atmospheric game with great storytelling and a thrilling story!
Story is good. Music is great. It's short, but that was expected. Considering the cheap price I didn't mind it being below 2 hours.
A fantastic bite-size thrilling and emotional experience. The pixel-art Swedish country-side setting and athmospheric music is a perfect framework for this gripping story that is not refraining from tackling tough topics. A must buy for anyone who enjoys a good story in a atmospheric setting.
Really enjoyed my (first) two playthroughs of this short but sweet mystery adventure. The colourful and compact game world's charming cast of characters often left me in stitches, whilst the graceful exploration of mental illness was incredibly moving, and even encouraged me to reflect on my own personal experiences. If the well-written story is the icing on this delightful cake, the tone-setting music is the cherry on top.
Highly recommended!
Wow, all I can say is wow. Such an amazing story filled to the brim with nerve-wracking writing and fantastic plot twists. I also got to give credit to the great (and fitting) music, and I love the art style. I absolutely recommend this short game to anyone who's interested, and only for a mere 2 bucks?? That's a steal!
