  • The voice acting is well done and adds depth to the story, making it engaging for players.
  • The concept of switching environments to progress through levels is innovative and offers unique gameplay mechanics.
  • Despite being a demo, the game shows potential with its heartfelt story and satisfying puzzle elements.
  • The game feels janky and poorly executed, with clunky movement mechanics and numerous bugs affecting gameplay.
  • As an advertisement rather than a full game, it lacks value and misleads players into thinking they are getting a complete experience.
  • The level design is confusing and frustrating, making navigation difficult and detracting from the overall enjoyment.
  • monetization
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of this game is heavily criticized as it is essentially a poorly executed advertisement rather than a full product, misleading players by masquerading as a game. Users express frustration over the lack of actual content and the deceptive nature of publishing demos as standalone titles, which detracts from genuine game developers and offers no real value to gamers. Overall, the monetization strategy is seen as exploitative and detrimental to the gaming community.

    • “We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement.”
    • “Usually the purpose of these advertisements is to get you to shell out money to the developer to buy the full product, but the developer hasn't bothered actually making a product you can buy, leaving this as an advertisement for nothing.”
    • “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is engaging and dramatic, with voice acting that captivates players and encourages exploration for deeper narrative elements. However, some users find the inability to skip lengthy voice recordings frustrating, which can detract from the overall experience.

    • “I love the story!”
    • “I normally don't care about story, but the voice acting had me hunting for the blue chips to learn more about my parents.”
    • “The story was really dramatic.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by an engaging world-switching mechanic that adds excitement and tension to movement, complemented by well-paced puzzle challenges that evoke both frustration and satisfaction. While the unique mechanics are praised, some players note that the difficulty can be exacerbated by bugs, such as issues with music volume and wall-running.

    • “The world-switching mechanic makes the movement feel exciting and high stakes.”
    • “Very puzzle-like; the difficulty progression with the game mechanics was nicely paced, leaving me both frustrated and accomplished.”
    • “Overall, the gameplay is very satisfying due to its unique mechanics.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is highly praised for its intensity and energy, enhancing the overall experience. However, players have reported issues with music volume settings not functioning properly and key inputs being unresponsive, which detracts from the gameplay experience.

    • “Not to mention, the music goes hard!”
    • “The gameplay is interesting, but very hard (partly due to bugs, like music volume and wall running. I hope the developers will fix them soon).”
    • “Trying to change the music settings does nothing, and the key input is often not very responsive.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are considered simplistic and not the best, yet some users still find them appealing. The visuals may have been more effective if paired with a more enjoyable movement system.

    • “The visuals are rather simplistic, but they could have worked if the movement system was fun.”
    • “The graphics feel outdated and lack the detail expected from modern games.”
    • “Character models are poorly designed, making it hard to connect with the game world.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is characterized by its heartfelt storytelling, relatable themes, and strong voice acting, which collectively enhance the player's connection to the narrative.

    • “It's heartfelt, relatable, and very well voice acted.”
