what a beautiful experience. every frame looks like something i’d hang on my wall. it’s weird, sad, and kind of comforting all at once. the atmosphere really pulls you in. even though it’s short, it sticks with you after. feels more like a dream than a game, in the best way possible.

Even though I don’t suffer with insomnia myself, this game represents very well what it’s like when your brain does not stop and the desperation you feel for some rest & peace.

Wish I would've started this game after I purchased it... It is perfekt to play whenever experiencing insomnia. At least it is better to play than reminiscing about the good times and looking back on the embarrassment and heartbreaks.

This was such a wonderful game to play. As someone with insomnia, I felt like the art and sound effects created an amazing metaphor for what it can feel like when your head doesn't turn off. Wanting to sleep but you can't. The game tells such a touching story and if you too struggle with insomnia you will feel seen by this short game. It took me maybe two-three hours to beat and was especially fun at night. A great game to play if you're having an insomnia episode ;) highly recommend!!!

It´s a nice cosy game with an atmosphere where you can lose your track of time. I wish there are going to be more games like that in the future. :D
