6/10

Atmospheric pseudo-metroidvania focused on puzzles and with no combat. Imbued with secrets, quite fun for the first hours.

6/10

So original to watch, so weird, it's almost worth playing only for how novel and refreshing its visuals and narrative world present themselves.

Narratively and interactively speaking, anyway, it becomes weaker and weaker as it proceeds. The plot turns out to revolve around abused cliches (perfection vs imperfection, unity vs multiplicity, LCL vibes and stuff like that) and ends up in a quite uninteresting territory. The pacing, so brilliant in the first hours, soon becomes repetitive and merely re-enacts the same pattern over and over again.

It could have been way way better considering its aesthetics and its absurd and yet fascinating premises.

6/10

Very small dialogue-based game with existential themes. It all revolves around two very well crafted dialogues (with the son and the neighbour), while the rest is just build up.

(How great when a character doesn't do as you want!)
