Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend this short, free, pixel-art game for its mood and atmosphere, but many find the story too thin and the gameplay repetitive.

Many players praise the melancholic atmosphere, the lilac and purple colour palette, the pixel art and the music, and several say the game handles isolation, depression and dissociation with real emotional weight. Some like that the world-ending backdrop is never explained, since it fits the feeling of being alone. Other players are disappointed by the lack of context: they cannot tell who the woman is, why the city is under attack or what the protagonist should do, and the ending leaves them with little. Some say the game is repetitive and clunky, with interaction hitboxes that shift and mechanics that feel thin. Several reviewers point out its rushed origin as a jam project, which some see as impressive and others as a reason the game feels unfinished. Most reviews take around 30 minutes to an hour to finish.

Criticised

  • Thin story and missing context

    Players say the story is vague, with the woman, the attack and the protagonist's situation left unexplained.

    Many players
  • Repetitive and clunky gameplay

    Players find the same chores repeated with little to do and awkward or unreliable object interaction.

    Some players
  • Unfinished feel from jam origin

    Reviewers feel the rushed production shows, leaving the themes underdeveloped and the ending weak.

    Some players
  • Ending and payoff

    Players find the ending unsatisfying and feel the game promises more than it delivers.

    A few players
Who it suits
