Reviews
Rivals is a detective-like game, where your objective is to sort through recording tapes, songs and texts to piece together the story of two musicians and their relationship through the years. It's a short but really sweet game, and the story holds up well. One thing that I need to point out: The songs are AMAZING, really really good. I would listen to them while reading the texts and found myself wanting more. Clearly there was a lot of passion from the developers while creating this gem of a game. I bought it at full price and have no regrets. If you enjoy detective/puzzle games, don't think twice, this is an awesome game.
Rivals is a short (about 2.5 hours) long detective game about piecing together the events surrounding two fictional musicians. The music samples and voice recordings made me immersed into the time period and the events, which is the greatest achievement of this game. The bulk of the gameplay is about cross referencing dates, making notes and connecting separate events into a neat timeline. After all that the story opens up to be a very human story of two friends living their lives in each others shadows. I would easily recommend the game to any fans of detective games.

This game is a short but fun look at a musical rivalry, where you need to sort through the evidence available, and deduce a timeline of events. With interviews, articles, and custom music, you follow the careers of two artists and their associates and lay out dozens of events on the timeline. Great for detective fans!
A short and calm deduction game with an incredibly good and efficient UI. I was really impressed and how dense and economical it was with its clues!
Short and absolutely brilliant deduction game telling a simple story full of real detail.
"That sitar belongs to Ravi Shankar....'s brother."
A great Obra Dinn-like from an underrated dev in that field.
I did enjoy this game, though it took me a few minutes to figure it out. It was extremely short!
lovely little game. a little dense and confusing in places, but if you enjoy games that don't hold your hand and leave room for subtlety and nuance, then this will work. quite short, but was a thoroughly enjoyable little evening for me. mature, detailed, nostalgic and emotional. try family first, which is also great, but i think I enjoyed a little more just in terms of obra-dinn-ness (which this also has, just in a different way - less list-y, more story-y). akin to the roottrees are dead, but more contained and emotion-led. feels like getting stuck into a memory box.
Perfect if you're in the mood for a short burst of not too challenging logic puzzles.
