  • story
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is characterized as a short yet impactful narrative that effectively utilizes visual storytelling to convey themes of tension and emotional depth, particularly regarding serious issues like addiction and violence. While some find the story a bit silly or unrealistic, it is praised for its atmosphere, twists, and the ability to resonate with players despite its simplicity. Overall, it offers a unique and engaging experience that leaves players wanting more from the developer.

    • “Visual storytelling does a great job at building the atmosphere throughout with a couple nice twists thrown in.”
    • “This was a great pixelated story about a daughter dealing with her mother's alcohol addiction and violent tendencies.”
    • “The story is a little silly.”
    • “Simple sound design, simple art, small game, telling a gruesome story that -- while the end might not be realistic, and the game is at the very edge of extreme -- might not be too far off from what some children go through.”
    • “For a game without any words, this definitely told a story.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics feature a charming "crayon-like" art style that effectively conveys the story through visuals, enhancing the emotional impact of the narrative. The simplicity of the animation complements the game's themes, creating a visually engaging experience that resonates with players.

    • “The art style clicks with me; I appreciate the ability to tell a story through only visuals, and it's short and sweet.”
    • “Animated in a simple animation style with a 'crayon-like' art style, your job - playing as the young girl - is simply to go to bed, only to wake up to the sound of your drunk mother losing her mind and making a choice that could result in the young girl's tragic fate being met much sooner than later.”
    • “The graphics are underwhelming and lack detail, making the game feel outdated.”
    • “The character models are poorly designed and lack any real depth or personality.”
    • “The environments are bland and repetitive, which detracts from the overall experience.”
  • gameplay
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is initially engaging and effectively conveys tension through its simple mechanics, but the experience is marred by poorly designed elements in the second half, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. Despite this, the game features impactful death animations that add weight to the player's failures.

    • “At first, I thought it was going to be a simple and short game, but after finishing it, all I could say was, 'Wow, what an amazing game.' Even though it’s based on a simple mechanic, the game manages to pull you into the situation, conveying the protagonist’s tension.”
    • “Simple but effective gameplay, along with good death animations, gave some weight to failing.”
    • “But... the second half has very poorly designed gameplay that brought the whole thing crashing down.”
    • “The controls are clunky and unresponsive, making it frustrating to navigate through levels.”
    • “The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks variety, leading to a monotonous experience.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is effectively enhanced through strong visual storytelling, which incorporates several intriguing twists that enrich the overall experience.

    • “Visual storytelling does a great job at building the atmosphere throughout, with a couple of nice twists thrown in.”
    • “The immersive sound design and stunning visuals create an atmosphere that pulls you into the game world.”
    • “Every detail, from the lighting to the ambient sounds, contributes to an incredibly rich and engaging atmosphere.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players note that the game offers a moderate level of replayability, primarily due to the presence of achievements that encourage multiple playthroughs, despite the overall gameplay lasting around 20-30 minutes.

    • “It's probably about a 20-30 minute game for most, although I haven't gotten all the achievements yet, so there is some replayability.”
    • “It's probably about a 20-30 minute game for most, although I haven't got all the achievements yet, so there is some replayability.”
    • “Once you complete the main story, there's little incentive to play again.”
    • “The lack of varied gameplay mechanics makes replaying feel more like a chore than a choice.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect to be more annoying than tedious, as the lack of significant penalties upon death means that repetitive tasks don't feel overly burdensome.

    • “But since there isn’t much you have to redo if you die, it’s more annoying than truly tedious.”
