This hits a rare emotional place, a sort of intoxicating, vibrant grief. It's never cloying or melodramatic. It gives you space to think about our present catastrophe and invites you to take those feelings somewhere new.

I'm a sucker for beautiful ambient nature soundtracks. It's also visually very pretty. The trails and progression are perfectly-designed.

Wonderful atmosphere. Surprisingly scary.

This is a beautiful game, relaxing to play before going to sleep. I wish the designer made it clearer when you saved. I had to find the xml file and look at its time stamp to see when saving was happening (when you go through the big doors).

The gameplay is clever but the dialogue is annoying and unfunny. The Rick and Morty game did make me laugh, the material here is much weaker

What an apt game to play right now...

Nice, addictive, "deep-casual" game. Ran beautifully on an old MacBook Pro running Linux, and the cloud sync worked perfectly from every platform, which hasn't always happened, in my experience.

Smooth, almost relaxing game to play at first. I began to wonder if it was too easy, then it seems to start asking you to make interesting moral choices. At one point, I made the wrong choice and the game ended. I'll be spending more time with it, there seems to be more to this world.

It did feel like it was sometimes too easy to lose track of your road and fall over the edge of the map. This isn't due to challenges controlling the vehicle at high speeds so much as just not being able to see what's over a hill, so it feels unfair/random. The punishment for losing a race hasn't been so harsh yet for it to be overly frustrating.

Runs really nicely on Linux (Ubuntu LTS, GeForce GTX1070 8GB).

This game was amazing, beautiful, tense. It's rare for me to come back to a game every night until its finished, but I did with this one.

This is a beautiful game. There is something about the art style and audio that makes the environment feel genuinely wild. I lost all of my children at the beginning of the game and wasn't sure whether or not to continue to the end or start over, but after just seeing the ending, I'm glad I continued.

A criticism would be that it was just too easy to lose track of my kids as I was hunting for food. I can smell the location of prey when I press C, but not my own children? And at some point in the game you're not entirely sure what you are playing towards as far as ending, and end up simply trying to uncover the rest of the map and travel to new areas until the ending happens.


It was worth it, though... honestly just played as a walking simulator it's a worthwhile experience.
