Rather Simple mechanically, which I'd actually prefer in a game that's atmosphere and art based. Minimal at times to the point gimmick-territory, but honest about it's strenghts and leans into them. I'm not Romian personally, however, I could follow along and parse the story nonetheless. Good play and a banger soundtrack.

The game is simple but entertaining. You walk most of the time with puzzles on the way. Most of them are easy, but there are some that can actually make you scratch your head. I recommend taking your time walking to see the background, which is the actual story of the game, more than your character

Nice 2.5D-side-scroller similar to games like Inside, Sommerville, Little Nightmares etc. If you like these, you will surely enjoy this one too. Only downside for me is that the laser-pointer controlls are a little clumsy, but you get used to it. I suggest to buy when on sale with at least 75% discount.

The game is relatively simple. A simple formula where you walk to the right most of the time. There are some puzzles on the way. Most of them are quite simple, but there are some that can actually make you scratch your head for a while. The game is very simple yet entertaining. As other games I have seen in the past, this game is a clear critique on a "bad goverment", which can clearly be identified by its color and logo. The story it presents is simple, not so deep, yet interesting. I would recommend taking your time walking to see the background, which is the actual part of the game that is telling the story, more than your character. 100% recommended for a quick play.
