Okay I almost never write reviews for games. I have no excuse for this.

But I HAVE to say something about this one.

This was genuinely incredible. I just spent ALL day playing this and I'm already planning to jump back in so I can make sure I get everything and nab all the achievements.

I really don't know what I was expecting when I saw the description but I'm a sucker for time travel and "butterfly effect" plots. So I had some notion that I'd really enjoy this. But even then, I had no idea just now much I'd enjoy it.

The characters are genuinely really interesting and relatable. The mysteries are intriguing and kept me constantly guessing. The part I was particularly impressed by is just how well thought out the cause and effect of every action was planned out. I cannot even imagine just how much time and effort that took.

If I were to have ANY criticism of this game, it'd be:

1. I want more thanks.
2. The character models arem't... great. Compared to the rest of the environment (which is genuinely beautiful) they kinda stuck out like sore thumbs. It didn't ruin the game for me at all but I thought it worth mentioning.

Seriously great game. I really hope we get more like this!

Holy crap, this game was amazing!

I was first hooked by it when one of the recommendation quotes was of SWERY, one of my favorite developers of strange but wonderful games. So, I knew I was in for a treat.

The game itself is honestly not visually impressive, but the stylized art style of it helps offset that. What this game does have, however, is atmosphere is SPADES. Not too long before playing this game, I played Layers of Fear as well. And while I do believe the two games are not super similar, I believe this game did a better job of making me feel tense and threatened at all times. The soundscapes and the subtle music is all masterfully done.

I also was impressed by the small amount of voice acting done by the main character.

The game itself is essentially a point and click adventure. When I first started playing it, I did not even imagine that I would be spooked by a game where I simply click to move. But on the contrary, I think this actually helped enforce the almost helpless feeling the game gives you at times. Many of the "scares" happen during times when the game is auto-moving you between clicks, the times when you are most vulnerable.

The mystery itself is interesting. The game literally never gets old. It has multiple endings!

Honestly, I can say I loved this game. And I want more of it. Thanks SWERY for saying nice things about this game and thanks Robot Invader for making it. Can't wait for more!

(Also, work on your word spacing on the newspaper clippings, it is a little bit painful to look at and read in-game. :P )

This was an incredibly interesting game. It was not super long, but I think the price is perfect for the content recieved.

The game has multiple endings that require multiple playthroughs. I have not yet gotten them all, only recieving one at the moment. But it was very strange, but also satisfying.

The whole game is an allegory for social acceptance and repression, which I thought was very tastefully done. I also absolutely loved the music!

I'm hoping to play this some more and get other endings so I can better understand the game. But, for now, I would definitely recommend it.
