Beautiful art, very elegant use of quill! The animations also compliment VR. I'll seriously consider playing the sequel

Damn that was a short game. I think my play time was 50 mins? I liked what I played; I'm just happy I bought it on a sale. Now to play Retropolis 2...

It's fun, but only for the 60 minutes it takes to finish, so don't overpay. It's foundational to the sequel.

A good and short (about a hour) VR game with cool story and nice visual style. Highly recommend if you want something story driven and immersive with noir vibe.
Recommended Nov 6, 2025
Great, short under 3hr, indie puzzler with a humorous, jazzy, noire style, nice art direction, and a pretty decent little story to boot. Definitely worth the admission price. Perfect game for chill, seated (or standing) experience.

more of an interactive movie, but very visually cool hand drawn style
