There Was the Moon

Decent little walking sim puzzle game.

Amazing experience, this type of aesthetic is my favourite in exploration games. Highly recommending this one.

Incredible. Moody. Beautiful. A trip worth having.

The game, while short, is beautifully built. The aspect ratio is a bit off putting at first but you get used to it quickly and it adds a subtle layer to the immersion. There is a dreamy, uncanny feeling that is hard to describe but works wonder. I don't know how much developpement went into the game so I don't want to undermine the devs work but the price feel a bit steep for less than an hour of gameplay. That being said the experience was really wonderful and if you're into liminal space and brutalism, it's worth picking up.

I enjoyed this. It's an atmospheric walking sim with some puzzles. I didn't really understand the story, but worth it for the cool atmosphere, visuals and vibe. Reminded me of mood of old game called Kairo. Seemed to have elements inspired by hallucinogenic experience/trip descriptions. Note: I had to use Nvidia Control Center to limit framerate, otherwise fans roared, but ran fine after that.

Honestly, this isn't nearly as good as most people said on this page. Sure the concept is pretty interesting and the exploration can be enjoyable, but I was quite let down by it overall. The story is very simple and vague which could be fine considering the design of it, but when areas just feel like they were there to show cool visuals it makes them less interesting. Only about a third of the areas really have a meaningful contribution to the story. And another complaint is the world design. A lot of the areas have really bland and repetitive layouts and textures, while the lighting is often great, the designs of the rooms just don't have much detail to them that makes them look natural and interesting and as a result it feels like bland copy and paste geometry. Though with all that said, I didn't hate it. Some of the puzzle solving and exploration was fun and the visuals can look very nice at points, as the lighting and modelling sometimes overcomes the blandness of the layouts. It still has some cool ideas, but I really wish they were in a better game. So overall I wouldn't really recommend it, and there are better options out there if you want an abstract exploration game.
