What players say
Originally played this around 2019, thought it was absurdly good back then. Replayed it in 2026 and the game truly holds up. There is no other game that I know of that drags you into caring about the characters because of the control scheme. You control each brother with one side of the controller and the way they work together somehow helps connect with the characters. A short, creative and emotional masterpiece...

Play this and have a box of tissues nearby. I played it years ago and don't remember any of the story. But I remember how pretty it was and how hard I cried when it was done.
There is something special about this game. Hats off to Josef Fares for this touching work.
