You can't really go wrong with such a low price. It's interesting

i'm rating this one star because i don't remember anything about it. 🥲
played this like half a year ago i guess.
this could be the greatest game ever made but i doubt it given that i've spent a little over 20 minutes on it and got every achievement apparently.

I think what wins this game is mostly its crude but somehow interesting to look at visuals -- It's very interesting to see how a handful of pixels can really look like something else when arranged right, makes you see why the Game Boy was so successful in a way.

The story was... Fine, interesting I'd say, this dude loves its damn lighthouse, even becoming an obsession when we realize the things he's done just because of the lighthouse on his 20 year shift.

Some might say that the voice actor having a very thick accent was faulty, but I see it as charming, the game takes place on Russia I believe so it would make sense, not everyone has a perfect American accent.

Надеюсь, там будет календарь

Тут мог быть небольшой обзор, но я понимаю, что не смогу здраво оценить и описать эту игру. Мне нравятся все творения Nikita Kaf включая это произведение. Поэтому я просто посоветую вам самим ознакомится с его творчеством. Главное помнить, что все его проекты это скорее искусство, а не игры в привычном понимании.

It was part of the "Missing Calm" Bundle (the publisher) that contained the game "Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk" that I really wanted to play. The bundle was around 5 dollars. I thought I'd give it a shot since it was in it.

Brief Description

This game is a short visual novel based around the day of a light house keeper. He is dealing with some emotions in regards to his obsession with the lighthouse. There are two puzzles that lead to two different endings. The art style of this game pulled me in as well.

Pros
-I really like the scenic shots. The visuals in my opinion really make this game nice looking and unique.
-I like the writing quite a bit; very interesting. Having the reader agreeing with such an unhinged protagonist is very neat.
-Cool ambiance and sound usage; I enjoyed it.
-I like the theme of the game and the endings. I think it is very interesting seeing a protagonist written like this-- where he is obsessed with the lighthouse and is engulfed in selfishness. It really makes for cool endings that leave you feeling a bit disturbed.
-I love how you can skip/click past text you have already seen. Playing "My name is You and it's the only unusual thing in my life" really made me appreciate that feature so much more.

Cons
-The narration was not bad in my opinion. I think the dude did a good job. However, him mispronouncing words in English was a tad bit distracting. But overall, I enjoyed the emotion he put into it; but the slip ups took me out a little of the immersion.
-Some scenes are used a lot more than once on one playthrough. Can be a bit repetitive.
-Not too much too it content-wise, but considering the price that's what I expected.

Neat visual novel. I probably would not play it again, but I think its a good short story, especially considering the very fair price.
