What players say
More straightforward than the other Analgesic games I've played, but no less of a perfect shot right into my heart, Melos and Marina have done it yet again with this one. It seems that regardless of the exact flavour of the style that's approached with these games, a lot of core facets stay intact that lend themselves to the completely one of a kind identity they're steeped in. In this case we have something far...

man this game was good but that ending wow that ending was crazy painful and unfortunately not in a good way in a very very bad way thankfully the devs have learned and have gone on to produce much less doom and gloom even the ocean is ok but only if you're wanting to get explore 2016 or if you want to suffer ….. there is yuri tho sooo 10/10 on the yuri scale
As a platformer, it introduces original and fun mechanics that can carry the game alone. But the superb worldbuilding, combined with the thought-provoking dialogues and the dreamy setting and landscapes, is what makes this game unique and memorable. Can't recommend this enough.
