Incredibly short game, but the price reflects this so it isn't too bad. It's a much more surreal, slow and thoughtful hidden object as opposed to other games in the genre, and might take some getting used to. It'll play out mostly as a point-and-click with a surprise wasd unlock near the end. More of a thought experiment than any real tangible gameplay, but pleasant and relaxing regardless. Be sure to only buy it discounted, it REALLY is that short.2 found this helpful
Not the longest game, but not a bad one. It kinda feels like someone got a philosophy degree and just made a game around their favourite quotes and their perspective on the meaning. Buy it at a discount. 6/10 - A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others.
the worlds here are actually really pretty, especially with the added sound effects of the feeling the place is trying to emulate it feels a lot like you're walking through a painting, which is a theme of the game "the search" refers to the search of one's true self, and in creating art without external expectations the voice actor did a great job with matching the theme of the game you do have to click to move and to turn, (until one part of the game) which isn't really a problem for this kind of game, but it seems to be the main reason for negative reviews a pretty short experience, would recommend if you enjoy games similar to "the room"
it plays like one of those room escape flash games
I feel judged
This game makes me nostalgic for my childhood.
