Fantastic little game! Considering it only takes about an hour to play it is incredibly atmospheric. It draws you in with hints and clues at what has gone before. Another reviewer complained that this backstory never reaches a resolution which may be true, but it's a free game that takes an hour to play, and wasn't a problem for me. The puzzles are logical and the game flows nicely. I liked how the cursor label hovering over items gave contextual information instead of having to actively look at everything, made it super simple to engage. Also, the music is fantastic. If you want to play a fun and atmospheric little game for free then give this a go!
Estoy impresionado, captura muy bien la esencia de las aventuras de antaño. Quiero saber más de la historia, cuando habrá un segundo capítulo? enhorabuena al desarrollador.
If this is intended as merely a prologue or small first chapter of a larger adventure, sure, looks promising. Looking forward to the real game. It's also free, so well, why not, but if it is as the store page makes it sound intended as a game in and of itself: nah, makes no sense...
J'ai beaucoup aimé cette courte histoire, bravo à ce dév ! Mention spéciale à la musique qui immerge très bien et colle à l'ambiance.
Good little game, lots of shown backstory. Good puzzles, and fantastic sound.
Nice little point and click adventure, with some cool and well balanced puzzles and mechanics, nice pixel art and awesome music. Worth every penny... well you know what I mean. Developed by a great orchestral music composer who happens to be a solodev and artist too. Great job!
The Sphere was a gorgeous game, with that distinct style some may remember. I admittedly struggled with the repetition at first, which is strange considering how recognizable the true-to-life puzzle was to solve. I realize now it represents itself much like some of the other puzzles that require a definitive action over an answer, for those that mix and match everything within the radius (such as myself). Needless to say, I was quickly captivated within evocative surroundings that truly resonated with me. This was a nice steady pace, there was just enough around to solve everything and not get over-complicated. Can definitely see where the creator is going with this theme and I'd love if it was explored further. A great quick game for those that enjoy the nostalgic theme and a little bit of puzzle solving.
Fun little game. And can't beat free.
that was fun and my brain started working
Great fun little adventure. Absolutely worth a play for any point and click adventure fans out there. Since it is free there really is no reason not to give it a go.
