A beautiful game focused on the internal worlds and suffering of people. this game is jam packed with lines or imagery that evoke a lot of symbolism and metaphorical meaning. It’s straight forward enough to make sense while also being quite abstract in places so the player can see and question themselves and their ideas. Even tho the settings is a confessional , the religious aspects aren’t explored as the game opts to focus on … well if u get to the ending ul find out. It’s equally as interesting and rich but if I go into this expecting an exploration of what the process is like or how a priest would talk … beyond the surface level ur better off looking elsewhere All in all its a short, moody experience that lingers in your mind and offers a lot of food for thought. provided you can overlook a few bugs and a lack of action2 found this helpful
Beautiful! Such meaningful writing, and helpful way to navigate grief. I love this style of play and the art.1 found this helpful
Interesting psychological story where fears of relationships are seen as sins, and you need to decide which sinner is worth saving or not. It's difficult not to spoil, but you'll discover there's a deeper meaning to all this. It's overall pretty well written, although some dialogues drag on for way too long and feel very unnecessary. In the end I even started skipping everything. Even the characters mention how futile the considerations have become, but it doesn't make it less tedious for the player. The puzzles, despite being pretty simple, are pleasant to solve though, and the audio-visuals are very well made. So I'll still recommend it. 6/101 found this helpful
A short text-based game with strange, unsettling vibes and really nice art. I would say it's worth playing for the four individual stories and the mystery of how they're connected, but I wasn't really happy with the ending. You get the impression that your choices have permanent consequences, until you reach the end and it all goes out the window. I would have preferred a version of this game in which each of the characters were people meeting Rose in alternate timelines/lifetimes, and you're tasked with saving her rather than just passing judgment on a handful of people.
I played this once before but I just reinstalled and tried to run the game it kept crashing on launch. Disappointing I wanted to give the game another try but it just crashes.
The story is better than the game.
