This is a weird little horror game. You basically explore a lonely island, piece together what happened, and try to figure out what's going on. There's not much actual gameplay here. It's just mostly about exploration, atmosphere, and the story. You get the vibes of despair and hopelessness. The graphics are low-poly style, but the music and sound design do a good job of making the island feel creepy and isolated. It's more unsettling than actually scary. It's also pretty short. I finished it in under 30 minutes, so I'd recommend picking it up on sale. Nothing amazing, but it's a decent little atmospheric horror game if you're into that kind of thing.

Don't let the people calling this game boring in the reviews because they "have to read" find out about books lmao, anyway the story, soundtrack, atmosphere and message of this game are amazing, I found the story to be really profound. I really wish I could go through playing and piecing it all together again without knowing anything

Gotta Say i liked this one. Usually I am not a fan of walking simulators but i did have a lot of fun with it and the atmosphere of the game was well executed to the point i started looking behind my back in the dark zone of the game and felt the loneliness hile on the island.

The story ties in with "The Music Machine" but all-in-all it's probably the least interesting David Szymanski walking simulator, the visuals are it's greatest quality.

Very short, very unique game. The story telling is a bit weird at first, but then after getting it, it's really interesting. You need to put the story together yourself, that was rather fun. And the atmosphere is great, it's unsettling, especially when it gets dark.
