If you get it in a bundle give it a go, otherwise the title of the game gives a good indication what the price will get you.. This game while short, is a fun (AT FIRST) knock off clone of "Thomas Was Alone".The story itself was very deep and real and I liked how the writing shows the powerful emotions between the characters or blocks in this case.The game play, however, leaves much to be desired. It's pixel picky later when you have to play the "kids" epsiode. While I did look at a video down the road how to solve some of the puzzles, it's just pixel picky about it (you HAVE to be precise and in puzzle platformer games, makes its more undesireably fun than rewarding). Edit note: I did see were eventually you can swap between the two but not until you pass some of the very VERY picky puzzles of movement at the same time.It just doesn't execute well.Imagine Thomas Was Alone (FANTASTIC game BTW) but with azz poor control mechantics and what you have is A Very Pretentious Game Indeed. For the price ($1.99) up to that point of the game was very enjoyable and innovative with the key words. When it comes to platformer puzzles, nothing is more frustrating when YOU KNOW the solution to a puzzle (whether you figure it out yourself or see a walkthrough and trying to execute it afterwards) to fail very easily because the puzzle is pixel picky. We are humans. Not computers nor super robots.For that, sadly I have to thumbs down purely on the game play.Overall score 5/10 -5 simply because of poor game play mechantics.. This game should be held as an example of how to do art games well. It's short and minimilistic, but it tells a pretty compelling story about love and loss. While the narritive is hardly complex, it's well written and quite emotionally affecting at points. What really sets this game apart from its peers though is the way it tells the story. Instead of simply walking and having the story told to you, you actually use the story to see how you could advance the gameplay. You figure out how each stage is completeted through the text that's presented to you and it makes for a really interesting experience. It can be quite rewarding and compelling when you figure out how to get to the level by interpreting the text correctly. The game is also not afraid to break its own rules in order to keep the core gameplay interesting. While it's not the most in depth game, it most certainly lays down a very interesting template that more games should follow.. Simplistic game done in the Thomas Was Alone style. It's an enjoyable experience but short (under an hour with the current four chapters) without much reason to replay it. I still say it's worth getting if you can get it cheap, though. The chapters stand alone nicely but also connect together well. The platforming is not much of a challenge, but I do like how the sentences both move the story along and guide the platforming. The score was also very nice.. Do you like a really deep story on your games? It´s the first and most important question in wanting this game. It is a tragic love story that end in the most sad or tragic way. They might make you think, some remember, just feel bad for a square on the screen. But its interesting, and has nice story. It plays on you and make in the story some turns that you might have not spected.With that said, some people say its not worth it for the price (but it helps the dev), I got it for discount the Steam Summer sale, and for a dollar, it´s not a bad price, and a well worth it hour of your time.The first time I played this game, on a demo from the Play Store, I played the whole first level. And its pretty intense emotionally, I had to take a deep breath to calm myself after ending it, just in case you happen to want to start it in a public place.. As Denicalis, I was enthusiastic about the first three chapters and then disappointed with the fourth one, where the story, being the main component of this game, seems crumpled and having got out of the way. And considering that the game seems abandoned, doesn't have any Steam features and mostly available for free, I can't recommend it, at least this version.. I can't recommend this game because its not very fun. There is no excitement or sense of achievement. Its boring to look at and it sounds bland. Skip this one.
