Escapism
Don’t rush it, just enjoy the visuals, music, sound and the imagination of it all. I played it again back to back and I am just playing it again after a year and enjoying it a third time.
You wanted a game; you got art
If you are the type of person who is visually illiterate or walks into an art gallery and feels confused, then you will not like this at all. On the other hand, if you are an art lover, appreciate minimalism, perhaps Kubrik, or films like Under The Skin, you will really enjoy this. Both art and soundscape are brilliant. Reminds me of Zoviet*France, Pansonic or Kotra. Give it a go. It is short but very well made. It will stir your soul, if you only let it.

Barely qualifies as ‘games as art’
I’m sure my opinion differs from some here, but ‘games as art’ is normally more interactive and engaging. It certainly stands on its own as an art piece, but it’s probably better off at a lower price or free.

Practicing Patience
Islands is a good game!😁
It’s good on practicing patience,
Plus the art is great. But every
Time I turn it off and I am almost done
With the chapter and I turn it off it doesn’t save my work when I turn it on.🎮

Very beautiful artistic piece
This might not be a game but it is artistic and awesome, 3 Dollars will spend,. It only problem it has is a little short but from what I saw it has a excellent atmosphere and beautiful scenery to match it detailed levels. Each level has its own story to tell in a very unique way, that I never seen before.
Perfect master piece I recommend to everyone who enjoys a small but interesting experience, you can’t go wrong with this.

Negative reviewers miss the point...
Bizarre and beautiful, plus the sound design is superb. As stated, this is not a game in any sense of the word. This is interactive art that will transport if the individual interacting with it allows it to do so.
Best played in the dark with headphones on. Herbal stimulation not necessary but is certainly complimentary. 😏

Excellent interactive art
Love the style, mood , and surrealism of this place. Enjoyed very much, hope there will be a sequel some day
Very short
Very relaxing game. Too short for the price though
Wow!
So, once again (I guess I’ll never learn), I paid for the game, and then went for the reviews. And these did warn, I gotta say. Truly, this is not a game by any standards. I look at the money spent as a donation to the developer cause they do have some good games. But this is not it. Slow is not even the word to describe the tempo of this game. By the way, are there any levels past that refrigerator with the flying bottles? It just seems pointless. All of it. Basically, as a player you poke at the brightest spot on the screen until something happens, and when that doesn’t work just spin the screen one way or the other. Really not much thought process involved. And even this could’ve been enjoyable had the game not been so painstakingly sloooowwww. C’mon guys. A game? Not by any standards!!! More like frustrating artist experience.
