What players say
I played this entirely on my steam deck, and it ran perfectly and was a solid choice for "too tired for anything else". Beautifully written with some slight emotional tones, but the core of the game are the puzzles and they are simple without being ballbusting or obnoxious. The only con i have is the price and how much you get out of them game, while im enjoying my time and the puzzles, $20 is steep for a simple...

Just finished and collected all the achievements as well. It was a very lovely little game. I really enjoyed the story and voice acting as well. It did feel like a bit of a task/chore based since you can't really "walk around", and also I'd categorize this game as "Point and Click" game, rather than Puzzle, Adventure or Exploration game. So, anyone who's looking for more of those elements, this game might not be it...
Really cute and short game, I love the concept of being a ghost and finding memories. Annapurna has always been one of the best game studios.
