Critic Reviews
A Space for the Unbound (Switch) Review
A game where you pet and name cats. I guess other stuff happens, too.
85%A Space for the Unbound review – A cat’s paradise that’s not afraid of darkness
is a great coming-of-age game that presents difficult topics to players in a compelling way. The game’s art style is beautiful, with many detailed scenes clearly lovingly created by the artists at Mojiken. While there are moments where it feels slow, this is a game that will last with players for many years to come.

A Space for the Unbound is a heartwarming but dark tale about Atma and Raya, and it's one that will stick with you. The beautiful scenes, stellar score, and unique gameplay far outweigh the few negatives the game has.
