✦ AI summary

The Great Perhaps impresses players with its atmospheric storytelling, emotional voice acting, and clever time-travel mechanics that shift between past and present to solve puzzles and enhance narrative weight. However, the experience is hampered by technical bugs causing level resets, awkward controls, unclear puzzle objectives, and a frustrating cliffhanger ending that leaves the story unresolved.

Recommended Aug 28, 2026
I really, really like this concept and would love to see a sequel or even the same idea used in an alternate universe or timeline. Time shifts are a beloved mechanic for me for sure. I got all the achievements in 3 hours so I'm not sure I'd pay the full $10 for it, but I got it in a bundle. If you can get it for under $5 it's definitely worth playing. The teddy is horrifying. I loved it.

Interesting premise with a neat core mechanic (though not especially deep, it's used to overcome fairly simple environmental puzzles and that's it) with a way too wordy and philosophical narrative (and particularly good) and an utterly stupid ending. Fun game for a few hours, just don't expect much from it.
Recommended Aug 7, 2026
The Great Perhaps looked interesting when I first found it. I really like games that involve time-related powers and puzzle solving, so this one caught my attention. The game has a nice art style, solid sound design, and good voice acting for an indie title. The story was pretty interesting, but nothing particularly special. There weren’t a lot of unique mechanics or standout tasks, everything felt alright, not bad but not amazing either. The game is quite short, you can finish it in around 2 hours. If you enjoy short puzzle-story experiences, that can be a positive. The achievements are also mostly non-missable, so you can easily get them all in a single playthrough. I bought it during a big discount because I don’t think it’s worth the full price. It’s a decent little game for a quick session, but nothing that will stick with you for long. Recommended: A short and relaxing puzzle-story game for about 2 hours of entertainment, best bought on sale.

Well, I am trying here to play the game that never starts, no, I won't recommend it because there is NO game to play here?! WTF?! 12 Minutes watching the story to : click on links ONLY?! WTF AGAIN?!
Not recommended Jun 24, 2026
I wanted to give a positive review for its interesting story and unique gameplay concept, but the amount of bugs that forced level resets and silly time wasting moments were just too much for me.

I thought this game was gonna be trash, how wrong I was…
