The demo is clearly where all the effort went into this game. The puzzles, alternate routes, stealth, and interesting dialog options all end after the demo area. From then on the game becomes basically a visual novel completely on rails.

On top of that, the story takes a weird turn that doesn't really get explained much at all. Maybe in an attempt at sequal bait? I have no idea.

It's so disappointing to find a game that is so unique just flop so hard. The art style is awesome. The music is good. The main character has a lot of promise but it's all for nothing.

Try the demo of you want. It's actually a good demo with interesting mechanics and a cliffhanger ending to make you intrigued for the rest of the game. Don't be fooled though, it's all down hill from there.

I admit, after the mixed reviews, I didn't expect what I finally got. The story was simple, decorated with beautiful music and presented in beautiful graphics. The game touched upon quite strong topics about existence and society. I often didn't know who to trust, and sometimes the dialogues made me confused as to whether I was thinking correctly. I like moves like this that actually make you wonder whether the first impression is actually right. I also like the change in the main character's attitude as the story progresses.

The only thing I can say is that the game has some disadvantages, such as the fact that the entire story is short. 4 hours of gameplay is really not enough by current standards. It's a shame because I really would have played longer. Also the ending, even though as the player we knew how it would all end, you still had deep hope that everything would go our way. I don't know either, but it wasn't satisfying for me, and it also contributed to the fact that we actually got an open ending.

I highly recommend playing it and checking it out for yourself!

♥♥♥♥ it.
this game is good. i understand why people liked the first half but the subversion was worth it, even knowing a bit of it from reviews. what they were trying to do was worth it. the pace accelerates quickly and the rest doesn't waste your time.
if we will indeed never see more of what they wanted out of this world it will have been a shame.
