Alone With You (2017)

Alone With You, developed and published by BancyCo, is a quietly powerful narrative adventure that trades mechanical complexity for emotional depth and atmosphere. Set on a remote space colony on the brink of destruction, the game places you in the role of its last surviving human inhabitant, tasked with escaping before the planet collapses entirely. It’s a premise that could easily lean into urgency and spectacle, but instead the game chooses a far more introspective direction, focusing on solitude, memory, and the fragile connections that persist even in isolation. The structure unfolds through a repeating daily cycle that becomes central to the experience. Each day, you explore different sections of the abandoned colony, piecing together fragments of what happened while solving light environmental puzzles tied to your escape plan. These sections are deliberately understated, emphasizing exploration and discovery rather than challenge. As night falls, the game shifts its focus inward, bringing you back to your base where you interact with a small group of holographic companions and the station’s AI. These conversations form the emotional core of the game, gradually revealing per…

My impression is, its a good concept and execution. It is an adventure game with puzzle that you have to solve. The puzzles are pretty logical. There were instances where i had go back and forth but nothing too hard. Essentially you are together with an AI that will help you escaping a planet that is doomed. Doing so, will confront you with what went wrong and see the story unfold. There are some decisions to make and they may play a role in the outcome. Overall its actually a real fun game. The graphics looking super (if you like pixels) and it reminded me off Lucas Arts games. You won't need a mouse as you use the keyboard as the input. So, its pretty simple to play. Anyway, i had a lot of fun with this game and recommend it to anyone that likes a fair good story in the vein of good old adventure games. You won't be disappointed.

Colony crumbles slow An AI holds the last hope Alone, not quite lost

This game was such an experience, and it really blew away my expectations. I first played this for Valentine's Day because I mistakenly thought it would be a very quick dating simulator where I could get a few laughs, have some digital romance and share the experience with my livestream viewers. It WAS listed on steam as “A Sci-Fi Romance Adventure.” I went in blind, and I'm so glad I did. What I got was so much more and instantly made this game skyrocket to my top 5 games of all time. This storyline was so deep, and honestly the focus on the romance options was lackluster in comparison — the real romance felt like falling in love with this planet that was doomed. It was a fantastic experience! After finishing my first run, I'm now going back in and trying for 100% completion. If you'd like to see my honest reactions throughout my first playthrough go take a peek at my YouTube channel where I post my Twitch vods! And stay tuned for a full gameplay video with no commentary if, like me, you loved the sound design and would like some background noise.

If you hope for an experience that can move you and empowers you, look eleswhere. Better try [u]The Altars[/u] also here on Steam: it's in first person with side-scrolling scene during the moments we bond with the relatively virutal crew. This, however... Personaly I didn't find this experience relatable or interesting, and I don't understand the hype and the qualification for the awards - it only qualified, didn't win, tho. The experience was very lackluster, shallow and boring. The settings are a classic of science fiction: abandonned facilities on another planet, we have to make do with the feltovers resources and AI of hte dead crew. I though it would be something like the game [u]The Turing Test[/u], (also here on Steam), where the AI is an important character and actually tht main protagonist, But no, this is mostly all about being forced to please the virutal copies of four very mainstraim, predictable, and relatively, either morally immature or shallow human beings, from varied ethnies - and each wasn't designed to have look pleasing for most people. But the fact that they are virutal copies isn't exploited at all, the AI isn't an interesting character and actually …
