Listen as she narrates of her past and try to make it to the end, for some much needed closure~ [h1][+] PROS;[/h1] [b]:) EXPERIENCE[/b] Barely a game, but rather an experience and one in which I found it hard to enjoy at first. However, once I pushed through its sluggish façade, embraced its disabilities- it then became quite special. Though essentially still a walking simulator where you have to navigate across a wide-open space finding memory fragments and reliving the turmoil as they take place again. There are also enemies, who… actually I haven’t a clue what happens if they get to me. Probably nothing good I bet and it's for the best seeing as they are easy to outrun! The estimated playtime of 30-45 min is true to its word since it only took me 40! It’s a one…

quite boring

I didn't finish as I got caught, and ngl it can feel a little rough as we have large empty expanses to cross and a run button with quickly depleting stamina, but honestly want to thumbs up this regardless because it's got this... feel about it. You can tell Cabous is a very personal experience, and the use of space and structure to communicate a tough trek through difficult trauma is an important one. The voice work is well done, the music touches the heart and the stylistic choices (particularly how the lighting provides such a strong mood) is excellent. If you're looking for a slow contemplative experience for 30-45 minutes, definitely worth it. Just stay away from the moving lights and you'll be fine :)
