This is a weird one to review because it's very clear that this is a bit of a demo for a larger idea that the developer wants to make in the future.

What we have here is a decent (albeit a bit cliched) premise of a young girl discovering the secrets of her grandfathers travels. It's a short slice of a larger puzzle game with simple mechanics that work fairly well for the 25 minute runtime. The voice acting is solid for such a small production, but I can't help but knock the fact that many lines very clearly sound like they were recorded at different times, with different levels of clarity and loudness throughout. The story is also pretty bare-bones, and I was hoping for more of a twist or exciting ending to really help this feel like it's own standalone adventure. But unfortunately that doesn't happen and it really does just feel like a mini demo for a potential larger project.

It's hard to rate this because it is being sold for a whopping FREE.99 but I can't say I'd recommend checking it out unless you were absurdly interested. It's a decent little tech demo but nothing about it is interesting enough to help it stand on it's own. Seeing that there is a longer version in the works however, I might think about keeping an eye out for that instead.
