Such a nice game, I played this for a while, I love how you reflect in mirror's, and the story is taking me closer to myself. When you consider all these questions on your own life, not just game progress, it can show you who you really are. How others see you. How weak you are. Worth the price.6 found this helpful
Short but evocative Christian title. The self-reflection that the game pushes to you is very personal and I think that's very compelling. The storytelling is limited by its religious denomination but still encourages self-improvement. The art and music are very strong. Some situations have very striking imagery. The translation sometimes feels awkward, with a few typos. The game is also a bit buggy, I think my save got locked out of a scene or too.4 found this helpful
It's a nice game, rather slow, so you have time to think about things, enjoy original pictures and a good soundtrack. While playing, you'll find many questions which will lead you to think about yourself. I recommend to go back to the same situations after finishing the game, and maybe you'll find something more.4 found this helpful
Inspired art, feels cozy.3 found this helpful
Beautiful hand-drawn artstyle accompanied by similarly wonderful music. There's some interesting ideas in there too. Yes it's very rough, clunky and clearly someones first game but there's a lot to appreciate in this passion project.1 found this helpful
