“I can't recommend this game enough. You get to see not only what caused Bernard's trauma along with pieces of paper saying what he has. But you also get to experience how the trauma affects him. (spoiler hidden) It's a beautifully crafted story.”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“A great game that talks about survivors guilt and grief. Made me very emotional and also scared cause the game was scary. Another banger by this creator.”
— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“It's a good yet sad story. The biggest frustration is maneuvering the wheelchair. Just look down so you can see how you're positioned to make it easier.”
