This is an okay short narrative game where the player finds out the disappearance of an AI that ushered a utopian era. The narrative is centered around this mystery and I think it was not intellectually or mechanically engaging. While the ending choice is a bit of a cliche, I did not feel it was explored well. Rather, the quirky interactions between the AI personalities is the strongest aspect of this game.
The gameplay suffers a bit with several context-based interactions that require waiting for audio to finish and most of them are not interesting to do. No strong puzzles or mechanics either to add variety and the inclusion of puzzle skips makes me sad. Since the narrative is not as strong, the lack of other supporting mechanics or systems makes this a weaker experience.
On a side note, I am disappointed that it uses Catholic concepts and centered around humanity given its cosmic scale feels lacking in a bit of narrative creativity. AI being somewhat gendered is okay but I was really disappointed it did not have non-binary representation. It ruined my immersion a bit where an AI controlling the masses is based on a heteronormative structure. This section is my preference so take this with a grain of salt.
This is an okay title but I do not have any strong reason to recommend it either.

An interesting setting that definitely makes me want to explore the unique environments. However, I wish there had been more depth to the story and a deeper exploration into the main character's motivations for being there. There was a lot of mystery left unresolved that I think would have improved the overall experience if it had been explored in some way. Quality voice work as well from every character.
Um Walking Sim entre fraco e ok... Eu gosto do gênero e acho que tem exemplos ótimos por aí, mas esse não faz nada muito bem.
Return to Grace não apresenta nada mecanicamente interessante como Tacoma ou What Remains of Edith Finch...
A história que geralmente é o que mais prende em um bom Walking Sim, aqui também é meia boca, passa longe de um Firewatch e um Gone Home.
Os puzzles são para crianças de 3 anos parece.
Tampouco é uma experiência visual deslumbrante como Dear Esther ou Layers of Fear.
