The controls took a bit to get used to, but I enjoyed the game. This is a game to take on when you want something a little different or something you can get through in a matter of hours, especially if you are trying to go through a backlog, which is what I'm doing.

To be honest it didnt reall hook me. I pretty much only bought the rest of the episodes because they were pretty cheap. Its still really nice and not too bad. The characters reaction seem really weird and too normal for the situation. Still pretty nice. I can recommend it.

Very slow paced point and click story where you will question why the characters put down the tools they find after using them and need them again later... I'd judge this as a good 10$ story if you like these kinds of games, otherwise I'd have to recommend watching a streamer play it instead. The gameplay experience is quite bad but the story is good.

Keepsake Keepsake was a labor of love developed 10 years ago by us as an independent studio. For its anniversary, we thought it would be great to see it live again on steam and gain a new following, as we feel that it is still relevant today.
