it's an experience. it's a little bit spooky, surreal, and it makes me think that these are thoughts that happen in the brain of a... like a child in an adult's body. imagination mingled with a bit of paranoia and daily experience. if you maybe look at screenshots of it, you'd get an inkling of the theme, but actually experiencing it, it's odd and fascinating realizing i *felt something* about each scenario. really liked this.

everything in this feels like something out of my dreams. its so minimal, so silent and relaxing and eerie at the same time. this is more of a vibe type of stuff and not game play type as it was abstract as it is. but still a worth of time. tho due to it being short i suggest buying it on sale only

A lovely set of scenes which unfold like puzzle boxes with a charming surreal quality and subtle humor. The way objects and spaces morph and telescope reminds me a lot of being a child and imagining secrets in everything. I want to play more games like this and remember how to find those secrets in everything again.

A fun experience. Less of a "game" and more of an interactive art piece. I found it memorable and peaceful. If you like liminal spaces, this game has em.
