a short and sweet story about resolving misunderstandings and helping people grow. my only personal issue is the length of the game, but despite that its still a visually pleasing game with a very captivating story.

Cool visuals and a novel narrative system, and it can be finished in one sitting. It has a mechanic to make dialogue choices easier, but you can just try all of them anyway, so there's not really anything to punish you or slow you down. The map can be unintuitive in the 1st and 2nd stages, but at least you get a map. It captures the sense of old adventure games without burdensome or obtuse puzzles.

This is a very cool game, and I love it, but... it's WAY shorter than I expected. It's almost like an extended demo. This can't have been the full intented scope... Either way, what's here is really well done. It just feels like what they were going for here wasn't fully realized, and it's actually kinda heartbreaking.

You know the weird feeling from your childhood when you got on the internet for the first time, or when you pulled up one of those early 3D games on your computer? This game perfectly encapsulates that feeling. But random feelings aside, I really enjoyed this game. It was short, but honestly a breath of fresh air compared to a lot of other games; however, the conversation mechanic almost proved cumbersome, especially later on in the game when you've gathered a lot of personalities. Would recommend, 10/10.

Honestly I feel torn about what to rate this game. The art style is great, and a huge part of what drew me into the game. A lot of the ideas explored were pretty interesting, and the hook of 'What happens to a world when its god goes missing' is a captivating concept. Unfortunately, the game fails to deliver on that properly, in my opinion. The only one truly affected by it is GB, and as well-written as some of the other characters are, none of them really serve to explore that notion. The first section with Lydia and her brother was really charming, and set high expectations in the beginning, and It's sad that the rest of the game only goes downhill in the following sections. Ruth is an interesting exploration of a part of the artistic process that many can see themselves in, and the third act with Telephangel and Nightman orbits around an interesting story. It's a shame then that Ruth's narrative is left so underdeveloped, and that the denouement of the third act is basically spoonfed to the player by the all-knowing Telephangel in a single exposition dump. Briefly touching on gameplay, though the main mechanics are creative in concept, it ends up feeling extremely linear in its execution. Though there are some branching dialogues, they still end up rather clumsily merging back to the 'intended' path. On top of that, there is very little rhyme or reason in figuring out the correct approach to conversation aside from just seeing which options are different from their usual default prompts. This isn't to say that a linear narrative is bad, or that games must necessarily have branching dialogues, especially when trying to tell a straightforward story, but as conversation is the only degree of interactivity you get, the game largely boils down to just going back and forth on the map without offering much variety or agency. A lot of the game ends up feeling like the author had a single intended way for the conversation to flow and makes you guess the right thing to say to blatantly agree with the character in their preferred way. All in all, as aesthetic as the visuals are and as thought-provoking as some part of the story can be, the actual game doesn't have much meat on its bones, and what's there feels only enough for an extended demo, not a full game worth 15 bucks. I have no clue if the production was rushed at some point, but it certainly feels that way. I really wish I had more positive things to say about it, since it's genuinely creative and full of potential, but the overall experience feels somewhat half-baked. I'd still recommend this to anyone interested in the art style, and to definitely get it if it's ever on sale since I do find it to be a worthwhile experience, and I'm still looking forward to checking out any future projects from these creators, as there is genuine promise underneath the unpolished exterior. As a piece of art this does truly stand out and deserves to be seen and known about, but as a game this unfortunately falls short, both in terms of gameplay and story post act 1.
