What players say
Friend: Do you know what's even going on in this game? Me: Not a *** clue. I can't tell you what Noch is about because honestly, I don't even think the devs know what's going on. Noch is an experience. Its jank. But, its good jank. Like, chef's kiss jank. Noch feels like an incoherent dream. The kind of dream you have when you're fading in and out of sleep in a cheap motel after a long night of booze and cocaine...

This game was such a weird journey but in the best way. The best 12 dollar game I have ever bought and I really hope they come out with more. got this after playing loco parentis and gotta say glad I did. Its a little buggy sometimes but if you can deal with a few bugs for an amazing cinematic adventure I cant suggest it more.
Unfortunately, this game is an absolute mess. The graphics are nice and the puzzle aspects aren't terrible but semi frequent soft locks kill this for me. Got stuck on a level for half an hour because I didn't know a flag had failed to trigger and I needed to reset. Two other soft locks on top of this.
