I probably got 10 hours of SOLID gameplay for 3 bucks, totally good deal. Not as short as people are saying if you don't try to power through the game. Took me a few days to finish playing organically after getting stuck on a couple of puzzles. Polished game, great story and cool vibe!
This was a really fun little point and click experience. Even though the subject matter is quite dark, the game doesn't take itself too seriously. And I promise you, you can't predict the ending. I definitely recommend it!

Primero mi más sincera admiración por crear este juego partiendo desde cero conocimiento. BRAVO! Y puedo decir que es un buen juego, porque me he estancado en varios puntos XD y esa sensación de llegar al punto de mezclar cosas inverosímiles, simplemente, me encanta XD.
なかなかユニークな導入で興味をそそられる。 全体的な雰囲気は良い。ポイント&クリックゲームは基本的に作者の頭の中の正解は当てないといけないので、間違った選択肢を選んだ時のメッセージにもうちょっとヒントが欲しいとは思う。 途中で一度心が折れたが、開発者さんとやりとりして(※下のコメント)やる気を回復して最後までクリアした。レビューも書き直した。 結末もなかなかユニークで、好みかと言うとなんとも言えないけど、印象的なゲームだった。 階段の上り下りとか、ハシゴの持ち運びとか、ダンスしてる人物とか手の指の動きとか、ドット絵のアニメーションが丁寧なのもよかった。
I have have no experience with this genre, so I was very lost until I started paying attention to everything and a lot of trial and error. The story is cute and I like the strange characters and interaction. I would say if you get stuck, look at every thing and really pay attention to how the main character reacts to the world bc the path forward isn't the most obvious. Felt refreshing to play something that just threw you in without any context or direction. Lastly even though the game is short, there is a lot of description and interactions with almost everything, which helped build the quirky tone of the world.
excelente. hubiese amado que dure más. el juego es corto. pero me encantó la historia, el humor, la estética, absolutamente todo es espectacular.
Loved, loved, loved this little adventure. Fingers crossed that there’s more like this to come from the dev! Interesting story, fun gameplay, good puzzles, and obviously gorgeous pixel art. Nothing NOT to love here, except that it ended…
Surprisingly fun game, with a solid script. Might gonna replay it someday in the future. Looking forward to their next games!
zabrakło mi szybszego przemieszczania. Poza tym fajna gierka dla tych którzy lubią gatunek
Buenísima aventura clásica, con alma de película de terror, buena música. Personajes llenos de humor negro e ironía. Es corta, pero muy entretenida, y te deja con un impacto fuerte y ganas de más al final!
