This game was sweet, even if predictable. It took about 10 minutes to play and 100% (which I did on accident in my first run, but hey, who am I to complain?), and was worth the time. A simple story-based walking sim, "my brother lives in a canyon" tells its story well, and considering its free, there's no reason not to pick it up,

Short 'walking sim' game. Seems to be heavily inspired by [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/383870/Firewatch/]Firewatch[/url]. The visuals aren't all that interesting, sometimes they're even a little bad. And there is no gameplay at all, other than walking (and running, when you're allowed to). I've also never seen this happening before, but, for some reason, the game opened on both my monitors at the same time. Like, there was only one instance of the game opened, but I could choose different settings on the different monitors. The only solution was to make it windowed. But, besides all these issues, I liked it. They didn't really matter to me, since the whole point is to listen to the story and dialogue. And it's a nice little story, that I won't spoil. It has some easy and simple achievements too. The voice acting and the music are also nice.

This is a very deep/touching game. I love games like these, where it's obvious that some heart went into it. Short, but poignant.
