One of my favorite games of all time. I have a tattoo of Josef as my only tattoo. One of the coolest looking games I've ever seen, with fully hand drawn artwork and fun, creative puzzles. I've played it multiple times, and it's so warm and endearing, despite its apocalyptic, depressing, and rundown look. If you have any interest in point and click games, you must play this game.

Such a great point-and-click game, it has a wonderfully whimsical charm, and the art style is absolutely beautiful. The music is fantastic, the sound effects are spot on, and the puzzles are really enjoyable. Overall, it’s just a lovely experience.

My top number 1 game I ever played, out of all 30 years of gaming. I even got a tattoo on my right arm, both Josef and his girlfriend and the owl and the cat :D The soundtrack from Tomas Dvorak is part of my daily live, I love listening to it. I even got both 12'' vinyls from the game music, and Josef toy of course. So you can clearly see my commitment to this game and the love I have for it. I've played it around 10 times over since October 2009, on numerous platforms. I remember it was a rainy October, and my friend recommended it to me. I instantly fell in love with everything it had to offer, and now it is a love relationship that will last forever. Can't wait for the sequel one day!

This game is incredibly creative—especially perfect for kids. I first played it as a child, and now, about 15 years later, I’ve returned to it. Beyond the nostalgia, it reminds me of a simpler, quieter time when the world didn’t feel so noisy. We would sit down, fully absorbed in the game, solving puzzles without the constant pull of social media or outside distractions. It’s not just about growing older; this game belongs to a different era—a beautiful one. I even let some modern kids try it, and instead of engaging with the puzzles, they immediately tried to Google the solutions. That’s the opposite of what the game encourages: thinking, struggling, and finding your own answers. The friendship between Josef, the little robot, and Berta, the girl he’s trying to save, is quietly heartwarming. It’s also fascinating to see how Josef brings small moments of joy to the city as he moves through it—maybe that’s what societies should have been about, rather than what they often turned out to be. Despite all that, I still love it. This game is timeless.
