“This game excels at one thing and one thing only: making you feel dumb. Sure, it's kinda atmospheric, and looks pretty cool sometimes, but damned if I know what the hell I'm doing, or why. The splashes of yellow paint…”
“While this is an undoubtedly beautiful game, I cannot recommend it on the basis of the art alone. The game is effectively a walking simulator that sees you gravitating toward objects covered in yellow paint, then…”

“I wish there was a midling recommendation I could give this game, because I don't feel like it deserves a bad review, but I can't in good conscience give it better than a weak recommendation instead. It is a very…”

“Very atmospheric and non trivial puzzle adventure. Adult successor of Inside and Limbo. Camera and visuals quite cinematic. I really liked that the space you navigating is not flat plane, and visual storytelling is…”

“its like inside but without the atmosphere and without the puzzles and without the gameplay and without everything that made inside good”

“On the surface this game has same cool aesthetics of a game like Inside, but they are miles apart in quality of gameplay. Movement and interaction feels really clunky, buggy and undercooked. Most of the playtime is…”

“It's kind of meh. Most reviews describe it as good looking, but having boring gameplay. I'm not sure it's even looking that great. You see most of the cool scenes in the trailer. The first 15 minutes were kinda…”
“Great game. Good atmosphere, a bit short. I got 100% completion and achievements in under 5 hours while leisurely playing. Definitely worth $3.35”

“Great visuals, atmosphere, music, sound design, level design, perfect lenght. I enjoyed it immensely. (there was probably one or two minor thingies but that can be overlooked)(and I dont want to spoil anything) really good, if you look for something similar to Inside”
— a player, Steam review · 5 hrs played“An enjoyable experience, fans of games like Limbo and Inside should give it a try. The atmosphere was good and very intriguing for my mystery craving brain, no dialogues or anything, just environmental storytelling and semi abstract cutscenes. It was worth my time.”
— a player, Steam review · 6 hrs played“The game is very interesting and has lost of cinematic scenes that are breath taking and worht a run. It has a confusing and left open for personal interpretation. Also the world is very much alive and has a painterly appeal. The sound is amazing and adds much depth to the…”
