March 2025
Beautiful game that I played on my steamdeck plugged into the TV with my wife watching. It played more like an animated show, rather than a game but after a long day of work I didn't mind that. It was fun, quirky and entertaining. The humour, and the delivery of the story itself was captivating and heartwarming from start to finish. We both loved the characters, and the little drawings that popped up in your notebook after each encounter. I can see this not being for everyone, but for those that like narrative heavy, walking sims this is a game to try. Humbadoo!

Good narrative experience. Not much else to do. Most characters are oddly rude to the protagonist. Worth it when on sale.

I love and adore this game. However, I don't think that it is a game for everyone. It is a slow game, with a lot of running around, finding stuff. It feels more like a book you can walk through than a "game". I LOVE IT! The game tells the story of a sad little man, who seems to suck at everything he does. He is pretty much a nobody at the beginning of the story. I love the story of Harold. How a sad, lonely and uninspired guy becomes someone who knows who he is and what he wants form live. I love the little storylines of the other characters, they help to make the world feel lived in. The story is quite weird but at the same time very thoughtful. You have to accept the weirdness of it all and you need to be open to the slow concept, then you can love the story as much as I do. If you don’t, you will get frustrated by the game. However, if there is the slightest chance that you could be interested in the game, pleas try it. Walk around the fedora, talk to everyone you come across and learn about their silly little lives. Follow Harold as he grows as a person and finally finds his passion, his will to live. Warning: IT THAKES A WHILE. Pleas be patient with Harold, after all in the beginning he is simply a sad little man (that I have grown really found of).

Even if I don't usually play narrative games, as I tend to prefer point-and-click adventures, I decided to give it a try anyway.... and I don't regret it! Really, is impossible not to see the work that has been put through this game. I liked the story, I liked the ambience. I can say that it even made me think about some aspects of life. I found it too slow on some parts of some chapters, but I enjoyed it anyway. Can't do anything but recommend it! Great work!

Loved, loved, loved this game. One autosave that saves frequently. Minimal puzzles and lots of dialogue, cut scenes, and exploration. This game is a beautiful piece of art, with beautiful music and voice acting and storytelling. The story made me laugh at times and a bit weepy at times. I was completely invested and enjoyed it immensely. What I got from my 15 hours of play time trying to speak to everyone and explore everything in each act was well worth the price of admission into this wonderful world.
