an arty, story-driven, combat-free 3D puzzle-platformer in the vein of games like Journey and GRIS, with its central gimmick being the use of the right analog stick to rewind and advance time. not at the top of its class in a subgenre I'm quite fond of (the platforming doesn't feel as tight as it should, and the fixed camera angle makes it more difficult than it should be to gauge distance when platforming), but the time-manipulation puzzles are generally pretty fun and the story, while not terribly original (the "simple story" part of the title isn't an exaggeration), is fairly well-told through gameplay, with a genuinely touching ending.
