So torn on this. It's got a neat concept, some gorgeous background visuals and a lovely score, but the trial-and-error gameplay is absolutely excruciating. The visual signposting for what to do next is pretty lackluster and poor checkpointing means you're gonna hear the same narration over and over and over again.

Ein wirklich sehr schönes Spiel mit starkem Voice Acting.
Technisch hatte manchmal ein paar kleine Macken, und beim Puzzle Design hat manchmal die Klarheit gefehlt, ob ich etwas nicht richtig verstanden habe, oder ob ich es einfach nur besser ausführen muss.
Ich muss auch ehrlich zugeben, dass ich aus der Handlung nicht wirklich schlau wurde. Sie schien hauptsächlich Konflikt um des Konfliktes Willen zu haben. Ich vermute das Spiel möchte die Bedeutung von Freiheit behandeln, aber ich hab das Gefühl, dass es sich etwas in der Spiegelung der Rollen außerhalb und innerhalb der Erzählung verliert.

Enjoyable little puzzle platformer! Got a bit frustrated with the repetitive dialogue from the narrator when I couldn't figure out what to do, but I really enjoyed the tonal shift as Abby frees herself from the narrator's grasp. Wish it was longer and more fleshed out, but I can still appreciate it for what it was.

Wasn't an interesting enough story to put in the effort when the solution to the puzzles weren't readily apparent.

apesar de eu gostar da virada e do visual do jogo, o jogo tenta ser bom com limbo mas falha por ter vários bugs que te obrigam a resetar o capitulo e não ter um level design tão bom quanto limbo, não gostei dos puzzles, tive alguns problemas também com a chatice do narrador mas depois do episodio 3 ele melhora

OMG! What a cute little game! I had a lot of fun. The puzzles are well done and the gameplay is simple and not frustrating.
Somehow it reminds me of Fable in style and the music is great too!
