A concise meditation on memory, dreams, and the act of retrieving them. The game pulls from and directly cites conversations director Julian Palacios (which you can read about here) had with their grandfather who passed away by the release of the final build, but the product is a generous collection of spaces to reflect on even if the approach isn't totally within my taste. Promesa is more similar to looking at a painting than any other game I've played, which carries many negative and positive complications for me. Worth the 40min to clear once and certainly will call for your time afterwards, even without hitting every possible scene. For fans of LSD Dream Simulator looking for the Pixar Animated version of that game.
