Still There

This game doesnt spark joy for me. The experience is like trying to set up an electronic device you bought on alibaba but the instructions are poorly translated and dont have the detail needed to be helpful. If that gets your jimmies rustling, you'll love this game. If it makes you feel exhausted, then give it a pass. I love puzzley games, like Outer Wilds, Obra Dinn, and Baba is You. But this one just isnt it. The story tries to introduce urgency through emergencies but it falls flat because to solve any issue, you have first find your manual, then read it, and flip back and forth between the manual and the interface to complete the task. So theres alarms going off, and youre just squinting at the circuit diagrams, losing the sense of danger along the way. Story is also mid sadly. Its fine, but just very small to try to carry such a puzzle system. FWIW, I played over 8 hours of this game, idk what my steam count will say though as much of it wasnt online.

I really want to like this game. I'm a big sucker for a emotional story, and I love sci-fi ♥♥♥♥ -- but this didn't deliver in the way I wanted it to. [i]Still There[/i] is a point-and-click puzzle game with a quite depressing plot that accompanies it. The general set-up of the game (its aesthetics, the way you interact with the world around you, etc.) is very intriguing, and fun to mess around with -- but the puzzles are unfortunately a real tipping point for the answer of the question "Do you recommend this game?" They're so close to what I would describe as "clever", but with unfortunately just not enough help or starting explanation. This results in them being really quite hard -- they do not hold your hand and throw you in the deep-end pretty quickly. Perhaps your ability to solve them would improve with time, as your brain gets used to it, but the game is also pretty short. I found myself using a guide for just under half of them, which is not really very fun for a game where that's half the gameplay. The story is great. It's a real tearjerker. Very few bad things I can say about it -- the elephant being because the story cuts so deep, and the game is so short, the insanely emotional arc the protagonist goes through does feel quite rushed, and doesn't really let you -- the player -- digest it in the most effective way. Quite disappointing [i]Still There[/i] is almost great, just an unfortunate combination of its elements.

Still There is far more than just a space-puzzle game; it’s an immersive study in isolation and human emotion. The developers have crafted a world within the station where every interaction feels heavy with purpose. Key Highlights: Incredible Interaction: The level of detail is staggering. Almost every object in the station is interactive, giving the environment a tangible sense of place and depth. Rational Puzzles: The puzzles are remarkably logical and respect your intelligence. The challenge often lies in the lack of information, requiring you to observe your surroundings and the manual carefully to move forward. Respectful & Mature: The game provides a grounded and rational experience where your best efforts are required, reflecting a mature and honest narrative. Deep & Poignant Story: You will live through a deep and poignant story that stays with you long after you’ve finished, delivered through brilliant writing and atmosphere. Unforgettable Atmosphere: The haunting soundtrack and the complex relationship with the AI create a unique psychological experience. Bottom Line: If you are a patient thinker who appreciates a game that respects your intelligence while delivering a powerful, human story, this is an absolute must-play.

They say space is desolate. wait till you play this game. Would be a hard choice if you'd want to be still there doing terrible puzzles or still here wasting time.

Made me cry. Puzzles were hard but there are hints if you dont mind losing some achievements. Plays great on steam deck using the touchpads.

Wow, at times I felt so dumb not being able to proceed with the puzzles. But man what a masterpiece, I was glued to the screen, this is so well done, in all aspects, no hand-holding, super fluid and so many things animated, insane story, impeccable artstyle. All this basically by 3 guys. Freaking masterpiece. Thank you so much for this, this is an easy favorite

A very strange game, which keeps taking unexpected, and surprisingly emotional turns. As a point-and-click puzzle game it is not particularly great, but the overall experience in terms of style, sound, and what it leaves you with definitely are.

wow this was a RIDE oh my god i never expected to get this sad over it also it made me feel like im in hail mary AMAZE AMAZE AMAZE

really nice (and sad) lore, good puzzles, beautiful aesthetics. If on sale this game is worth much more than the money spent
