What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Burning Daylight is a short, visually stunning free walking simulator with atmospheric cyberpunk aesthetics and an intriguing wordless narrative that explores themes of fate and self-limitation, though players are divided on whether its brief runtime and minimal gameplay deliver meaningful experience or leave the story underdeveloped. Most praise the excellent lighting, sound design, and artistic direction as reminiscent of films like Nine and Inside, while some find the disconnected narrative confusing and unsatisfying.

This game is so cool. This is a great blend of discomfort, pleasing visuals, and a fascinating story. The message I got was a type of cycle, being born into a circle of fate you can't control, and learning the one who actually limits you [b] is you. [/b] I wish the game was longer, to really explore the environment and further experience the message it was trying to convey. Overall, this game is Art. Art the developers could profit off of if they decide to expand on this one day. Play the game. “All art should inspire and evoke emotion. Art should be something you can actually feel.” - [i] Chris DeRubeis [/i]

a solid dystopian technophobic take on our future, and a nice follow-up to Inside with great cinematic direction.

Recommended Jul 12, 2026

Such an amazing short cyberpunk world to explore. Everything from the visuals to the sound was beautifully crafted to the point they did not even have to have any words to help tell a story ofwhat is going on. I highly recommend this game it is baffling this was a free game honestly
