Seriously, this game is beautiful. It's an emotional rollercoaster that totally made me cry because of how stunning and heartfelt the whole journey felt. The gorgeous visuals work perfectly with the beautiful music to tell a powerful, wordless story that just hits you right in the feels. Playing feels like walking through memories, and while it's not long, the emotional impact is huge and it definitely sticks with you. If you want a game with real heart that makes you feel, I recommend this completely. P.S. Seriously, the price for this game is unbelievable for the experience you get. **edit: I just wanted to add that I highly recommend playing this with a controller. Mouse and Keyboard felt a bit off for me, but switching to controller made the whole experience flawless.**

"Asleep" is what you'll be when you play this game. Listen, you can just staple an emo piano and violin music and be considered a good game. This game is extremely short, has weird camera angles, and there is no real point of playing it. Unless you are a lonely 14 years old girl that feels herself way to much. I won't thumb it down because it is a nice creation and it feels like the developers achieved what they want. But... nah, it's not really that good or touching. It's just... there.

I cried for 30 minutes after finishing this game, then I had existential crisis about life and death later on that night while trying to sleep and cried again. I am not even joking. 10/10
