Reviews
- Emotional and unique story that effectively explores themes of grief and loneliness in a melancholic, dreamlike world.
- Impressive atmosphere and unnerving vibe enhanced by a phenomenal soundtrack that fits the tone of each location.
- Engaging puzzle mechanics, especially the key-twisting mechanic, which provide thoughtful but not overly difficult challenges.
- The game is very short, offering roughly a 40 to 45 minute experience, which some feel is high-priced for its length.
- Storytelling and dialogue can feel stiff or underdeveloped, lacking clarity in some events and character development.
- Limited exploration and linear level design; some advertised gameplay elements like freely entering houses are not fully realized.

10 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story is somber, emotional, and set in a unique, dreamlike world, making it engaging for fans of narrative-driven games. However, it can feel vague and somewhat underdeveloped, with dialogue and event storytelling occasionally coming off as stiff or unfinished. Despite these flaws, the heartfelt and intriguing world-building provides an interesting experience worth exploring.
“A sweet, sad story set at the end of the world in a strange, dreamlike place.”
“Its best to sit down for the hour, and take this story and world in, cover to cover, on your own.”
“If you like emotional story based games then this is for you!”
“The story is kind of vague, and while I typically don't like it when the story ends without explaining itself, I didn't mind it too much here.”
“On ways for the creator to improve would be storytelling when it comes to events and dialogue, as they can come off a little stiff and more like a second draft at times than the finished product they could be.”
“I do agree with others the game’s a little short for the price, but knowing that it was the first game that the creator developed with very little knowledge of how to make a game in the first place and from my knowledge the same can be said with the storytelling and building of the game. He did make something very interesting to play and world building to look into.”
