Abstract: Now here's a game that makes me say things I rarely get to say: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, sign me up for the next one. For how linear and short it is, the aesthetics, story, voice acting, and overall interest this game garnered from me made me glad I got this game when I did. Hell, the ending got me so good, I'm gonna grab the second game the moment it hits the store! Enough gushing, though. The game is good but has some wonky portions.

Since this game was pretty darn short, I'll just give it a short review.

The Good: Like I said before, the voice acting, the gameplay, the puzzles, the ambient sounds, the aesthetic...just about all of this game draws you in with its everything. While the colors are pretty much just black and varying blues all the way through, the contrasting colors that you do see pop out the most and will immediately draw your attention to details. The story is nothing I've experienced before, the game making me want to complete the puzzles to discover more of the puzzles.

The Okay: And, like I said before, there are some wonky parts. The interaction mechanic was a little weird having to hold it down instead of pressing it. There wasn't an option for this either, unfortunately. It being a point-and-click-like adventure, it falls into the "try everything on everything" when you get stuck. Sometimes you'll stumble across the solution, other times you'll be flying back and forth to see if you missed anything.

The Mean: The combat system, while interesting, felt like an after-thought. It didn't really add much to have combat other than to slow your roll from puzzle to puzzle. A lot of it came down to experimentation. Some puzzle solutions were pretty esoteric. It made sense, but sometimes it made you want to tear your hair out in frustration for how simple it was. At some points, you'll actually run into an enemy that pushes you into a wall, which can result in being stuck or shoved a floor under.

Overall: Would I recommend this game? ♥♥♥♥ yes I would. I'd warn them of how short it is, but if they loved point and click adventure games, then the length shouldn't be too much of a bother.
