April 2025
My five year old son and I began this journey together not knowing what we were diving into. This game will always have a place in our hearts as it was our first game to play together over a span of multiple days, start to finish. The dinosaur level was hands down, awesome. He loved it so much, yet, couldn't help but throw me the phone and cover his eyes when the T-Rex popped out. I realize this review may not be helpful to most, but if it is, for even just one, it's worth it.

Like always with chinese room games it is very difficult to review. You don't buy and play games from chiense room for their gameplay, you play them because of their story, atmosphere and dedication. And while i would say it's probably the weakest of their games i played so far it's still good and absolutely worth for the low price and even more in sale. It's just not the same masterpiece quality as dear esther, amnesia or rapture. My two biggest negative points are: • The music, it's not bad. But music was always one of the best things in their games. Here it's not. • It's probably a little to little gameplay. All the 2d platformer elements you expect from a game like this (riddles, timing, jump and run) are as basic as possible. Some of the good things: • As always with chinese room games - the story • the art & design as well as the variety in environment • Awesome voiceacting

Loved it! It's a small vignette of a game, four hours in total, and it has a very cool premise of the story: you have a definitely unreliable narrator spinning a fairy tale during an interrogation. You never learn what actually happened, but you play the fantasy as it unfolds. I've never seen this point of view in games, and here, I think, it's done very well, the story indeed touches on the tropes you would expect this guy to bring up. The graphics are obviously inexpensive but the artistic style is a perfect match for the game. Unfortunately, I have to kick off a couple of points for clunky platforming (at one point, I spent about ten attempts to press a lever in time, not because it was hard to reach but because the guy had to be positioned just right for the lever pushing button to register, and you didn't have time to try several times) and bugs (one of the levels just completely broke for me, automatically killing me right after respawn, but fortunately restarting the game fixed it). But I still enjoyed this little story very much, and this is exactly the kind of game I'd love to see more of!
