Played this version for a short period of time, but I liked the visuals and the ambient of it. I'll play the Landmark Edition eventually, and then I'll give it a more accurate review.

Played this game some years ago and I can't remember much of the plot now. I gave it two stars on my other website so it probably means that the story wasn't that good to begin with. I think this is an indie game made to captivate people's attention on its visuals but not that type of game that will make you love it for its story.

My first walking simulator ;) It was still something new back then and therefore surprised and convinced me a lot^^ I found the monologues very well written and the design of the scenes very coherent. Even had 1-2 scary moments. You should check it out if you like narrative games.

Para ser uno de los padres de los Walking simulators me sorprendió bastante y para bien. Si bien la historia se cuenta un poco confusa (es parte de la gracia) se termina de entender mas o menos que sucedió, pero se cuenta todo de una forma muy poética y con metáforas, la verdad que me encantó es cortito y al pie

I need someone to explain this game to me.
