A Sketchbook About Her Sun is not much in way of a game and is better described as a visual novel. Each 'chapter' of the narration takes place against the backdrop of a song off an album. Throughout each chapter, various pictures are shown and you are given the option to make certain choices for words. When picking, it's unclear what the impact of the words you choose will be, but at the end of each chapter, the words you chose are the options slotted in for a poem that changes based on what you picked (think like an ad lib, but slightly more complicated). The narration seems to largely be about a woman experiencing heartbreak. The game is somewhat abstract and will appeal to a very particular type of audience as a result. Additionally, your enjoyment of it is highly contingent on enjoying the music. It was a fun experience to be sure, but it's not for everyone.3 found this helpful
It's like a nice little music video where I can occasionally choose words that create a poem at the chapter ends. It made me want to scribble and sketch some stuff, so I liked it.2 found this helpful
Very enjoyable game with beautiful imagery, writing, and music. I had a lot of fun writing my own poetry based on the words prompts along with the game! :)1 found this helpful
A very artistic representation of what it feels like to go through a heartbreak. Recommended for those who want a good excuse for a healthy session of ugly crying or those who just love getting punched in the feels.
A Sketchbook About Her Sun is more an animated album with minimal interactivity than a proper game. The art does a fantastic job of presenting the story juxtaposed with a banger soundtrack that roots the player in each moment. It's one hell of a ride. Words cut deeper than any knife, and A Sketchbook About Her Sun hits as hard as it's experience is original. Highly recommend!
