An original and affecting story about memory, class and family set in a rich and unique world. The point and click gameplay is more than just a way of showcasing the pixel art - it immerses you in the games early 90s retrofuturism. Like Inscryption this game is in conversation with the very idea of retro tech (though in a more understated way). Where other retro indies make a nostalgic fetish of their throwback style and mechanics these two games are totally alive to the fact that playing a point and click in 2023 can never be the same as playing one in 1993 and they exploit that gap to aesthetic ends. An exciting turn in video games.
