It has some really impressive scenes. The story of the game is very creative. It moves very smoothly and never gets boring.3 found this helpful
The idea of getting lost inside a computer and solving tricky challenges to escape is both unique and engaging. The pixel art style adds charm, and the puzzles keep you thinking. Definitely worth exploring3 found this helpful
The game has a well-structured storyline that it conveys very cleverly. While playing, you constantly wonder what will happen next. The story and game design are quite successful, but some aspects could be improved. Certain things are presented too superficially. I understand the message being conveyed, but I don’t feel the emotion. Also, I don't know if it's just me, but the game feels sluggish. The pacing is quite slow, and if it were slightly faster, I think everything would feel much smoother. Apart from these, it’s a good game with room for improvement. If the genre interests you, I’d say give it a chance.1 found this helpful
This game can be considered an average indie game in terms of gameplay, but it tries to be diverse and, in my opinion, succeeds in doing so. Story-wise, it has a sweet and enjoyable narrative. If you're looking for a game to kill some time, I recommend giving it a try. Suggestions for the Developer Avoiding pre-made assets is understandable, but small game developers shouldn’t hesitate to use them. Using ready-made assets can help improve the game further. Since the game is newly released, minor adjustments should be made in both design and code. If you pay attention to these two aspects, I believe you can create even better games. Wishing you success in your future projects!1 found this helpful
Although it is the first game of the development team, it promises to be a very pleasant experience with the presentation of the story, the music of the game and the enjoyable pixel art graphics. It also sets an example that they can do better things with the vision they bring with their level designs and the depth they will bring to the gameplay in other games.1 found this helpful
The story is intriguing and I'm curious to see what happens next and I really like the background music.1 found this helpful
