“Fantastic story with a surprising amount of emotional weight.”
“Really emotional game with a seamless gameplay to story transition.”
“A beautifully crafted story.”
“The game is very short; I completed it in around 15 minutes, and it feels more like a name than a game. It tells a story, but to interact, they added minigames with a ball. I don't understand why they are charging so much for this when there are better games in the same price range.”
“The story felt a bit generic, but there were also parts that just didn't make sense.”
“Has such a promising premise, but when the credits started to roll when I thought the story was just beginning, I was severely disappointed.”

“I just have no words; it's short but this is an excellent example of a video game being used for pure storytelling where the gameplay is just another part of the storytelling. Thank you, Chilly Room, for making a game that I feel many could identify with.”
“Gameplay isn't exciting; it's anxiety-inducing.”
“All of the gameplay is essentially just simple physics-based puzzles and manually progressed cutscenes.”
“The gameplay gets boring really quickly; basically, you play minigames and then spend a full minute (I'm not kidding) rotating a clock hand on screen to watch a story that is trying too hard to look like it actually means something.”
