Rest

A very promising experience but unfortunately overall I found it somewhat dull. I like the concept, but the problem is once you see that the name of the first chapter is "Denial" you can already guess that the entire game is going to be about five stages of grief and exactly how it's going to play out. The written notes in each chapter all read like one and don't really contribute to the overall narrative after you've found the first one. In addition I would really recommend hiring a native English speaker to proofread your writing. The writing was a bit dull and, linguistically speaking, left me feeling rather unsatisfied. Before I get into more negatives let me mention a few things which were in general positive: - visual effects (except for water) - music - level design (most areas anyway) The use of black & white color scheme is okay, but it seems like not enough attention to detail was given here. I think good use of black & white needs to give more consideration to contrast, whereas many areas in this game lacked enough contrast to work well in black & white; the result being a somewhat muddy image which isn't particularly pleasing to the eye. This was further exacerbat…

Lovely game. Creative ideas involved.

Love it! Very cool artstyle and very emotional

Spoilers!! Here are some good and bad thoughts. First what I liked and what I think is good: The game is beautiful, and the sound design and music is nice, even though the loops are short you do not grow tired of the fast. This is a very good thing since some triple A games struggle with that. The game takes you through the stages of grief and you get hits of story from the different items or notes you pick up. I like how the game is mostly gray for most of the game and finishes in colors, this represents how one would perceive the world through such a process. The concept is somewhat unique and intriguing, I really like that. What I did not like / bugs: The price might be a bit much for such a short game. This is a short game, finished in 1.2 hrs. while only missing two or three optional things. The game goes to max 1920x1080, if you have a bigger screen, you must either look at it in window mode or look at it stretched out. Level design: There can be a lot of walking with little variety sometimes. Sometimes it was difficult to know where the main path was and where the side areas were, sometimes I walked the right way and couldn’t bother going back that way to find all th…

Rest is an introspective and visually beautiful game that explores the themes of loss and grief through color, environment, and story. Accompanied by a beautiful soundtrack, this is a great indie gem if you're looking for a quiet experience for a couple hours.

A neat little experience! Overall an atmospheric journey that manages to make you feel what you're supposed to. The level design was overall great and provides fun surprises along the way, but could become a little too complex in a few places. Beautiful ending.
