What players say
A game about life and loss and videogames. A game that leads through childhood, school years and troublesome adult life of the main character. It was a sad, but unexpectedly true and deep experience. No, it is not a moralizer. The game doesn't tell you if the videogames led to protagonist's failure in life or if the videogames helped him out in times of crises - there are hints of both and much of the story remains...

A little clunky and buggy. But nonetheless a great little game experience. If you like games like Life Is Strange or Oxenfree, you would probably like this one too. I need to mention that this game has a message, not every gamer would like. Great, short game that leave marks.
I understand that the game has "mixed" reviews. It is an original retro game, maybe indie category. It is an adventure but there is not so much action. A little of surrealism and maybe images from a mad mind. Most of it is positive, including nice graphics. But I do not like the interface system of menu, inventory, using items and moving objects. I did not get used to that system until the end of the game. The game...
