What players say
Made me feel like the MC at some points with frustration over repetition. I love the artwork, I like the story, The characters are amazing, and now I'm trying to 100% it Never trust a banana
A tale about how crucial communication is, wrapped in a wonderfully crafted world with an amazing cast of characters that everyone will relate to. It is mostly psychological, and gameplay is just there for the vibes, so don't expect any complex systems. I struggled a little with some puzzles as the hints weren't clear enough, but that was a player issue. 11/10
Highly recommend. Such a beautiful story. The world, the characters. overflowing with love and stress, and depression. So much depression. Personally, ive struggled with alot of these issues the game tackles, and its nice to see it be put to screen. using it as a vehicle to tell its story. god. favorite moments were probably everything with loop. what they symbolize, and the pain sif goes through. way to relatable...
