Steam reviews

What players say

Short, free and introspective; most reviewers enjoy its reflective questions and closing words, though the results are vague and the game is brief.

Most reviewers recommend this short, free personality-style game and say its questions prompt real self-reflection. Many players praise the moody atmosphere, the storm setting and the soundtrack, and some find the poetic closing words moving or surprisingly accurate. Some players find the results vague or no more precise than online personality quizzes, and a few doubt the test's accuracy or question why it is a game rather than a survey. Some reviewers wish answers went beyond yes or no, and some say the game is very short with a less polished ending than the rest of the series. Reviews from the last year are a little more mixed than the high overall rating suggests, mostly over length and depth.

Criticised

  • Vague results

    Some players
  • Very short length

    Some players
  • Limited answer options
