“A Quiet Journey That Feels More Like a Concept Than a Full Game When I first launched Away, I expected a calm exploration experience, something atmospheric where I could just walk around, take in the environment, and…”
“This took me 3 minutes and 40 seconds to beat. It is a really short experience, if you can even call it a game. The whole gameplay is just clicking one button after the narrator finishes each sentence while you slowly…”

“Why exactly does dis game cost money? it is 2 minute short story, that contains 2 sentences. Don't waste money on this. Absurd”
“Recommended? Yes… but not for the reasons you think. I bought this game expecting an actual experience, mainly because the poster looked quite mysterious. Instead, I got a 3-minute walk towards a glowing light while…”

“If you are expecting something to play, Away (I wouldn't call it a game) definitely won't give you what you expect. Eventhough developers would want to give a lesson or suprise you, I just want to say that this might be…”

“I let my game open 60 more minutes while i'm cooking tacos, to make this review happen. I took 3 min to beat the game, 1 min to set setting on that timer. Most of the game is also on the preview. Probably this review took me more than 3 min to type because i'm a slow typer. So I…”

— a player, Steam review · 0 hrs played“Finished it in under five minutes and there’s barely anything here. You walk forward, click a few times and that’s the entire experience.
