[h1]It's a good game. No more, no less[/h1] [b]Don't expect to get mind blown, as there are several games that uses the same tropes and either did it first or simply better : funny narrator, meta humor, computer/tech theme and puns, real world media and so on.[/b] If you've played Stanley Parable and/or any indie game around the concept of smartphone/computers, it probably won't amaze you or feel fresh. But honestly, it works. So that's not much of a problem as long as you temper your expectations. [b]I appreciated that it could be played in small bites : do a few puzzles, progress the story a bit, stop there, keep progressing the next day. It was the perfect break after lunch.[/b] [h1]More narrative than puzzle[/h1] It's important to know that it leans heavily on the narrative side : the puzzles are very easy. It works very well with the flow, as you don't get stuck and progress quickly, but if that was the main appeal, you might reconsider. As for the writing, it's good, no joke made me cringe, the story was ok, there are a few twists, some twists tackles things at our real world. Nothing special, nothing particularly thought provoking, but it was pleasant. [h1]A few techni…

It's pretty cool. Simple story game with some puzzles and some exploration. One thing I don't like about it is lack of any possibility of post-game collectible clean up. Oh you missed 1 or 2 collectibles? Gotta replay the whole game. No level select. No backtracking.

Good narrative game

The game starts quite well, with an interesting story and unique puzzles, but the overall quality gradually goes down, with more focus on the story and less on puzzles. Unfortunately, apart from the narrator, the other characters aren't very interesting, and the game's world could also have been better written and thought out. The puzzles go from being interesting and unusual to being rather dull and not requiring much thought. There are also a few places with poor optimization.

I loved this game, the puzzles are good, the story is very interesting, some parts were a bit confusing but overall is amazing.

I have only an hour in but I can already see where this one is headed. The game is charming and takes the 'Osmosis Jones' approach to the inside of a computer or phone. The humor is fun, the puzzle solving is a good mixture of relaxing and challenging for what the game is. But, all in all you complete an area and travel to the next. Good for one playthrough and the staircase style gameplay makes it really easy to pick up for just about anyone. You won't sell your soul and sink in 1000 hours or anything, but, its worth an afternoon or two, I'm having fun with it and plan to see it through to the end.
