What real reviews say

★★★★★ Still an incredible indie game I played this game years ago, potentially a decade ago, and I just stumbled upon it randomly again. What a simple, beautifully deep game. Just played it again.

★★★★★ Admirable *and* enjoyable It's a rare combination - something so smart, novel and well crafted that it impresses you tremendously, but also somehow manages to draw you in and engage your imagination completely. Holds your attention for hours at a stretch and sticks in your mind for days. What an accomplishment.

★★★★★ Great ending Thru the entire gameplay i enjoyed every minute of it games like this definitely deserves all the hype and support the ending really got me tho as you leave you leave behind the first person to help it then it resets and you do it all over again
